HBO/Showtime/Premium ratings don’t really matter. So many people watch on demand or on HBO-GO or during the many re-airings of the show. I watch NFL and then tape everything for later. Unless it’s something like the finale of Sopranos it barely matters at this point. TV viewing habits have changed.
This is what happens when you disrespect your audience…show had great potential but I’m glad they’re putting themselves out of their own misery with a shortened season next year…good riddance…
Who is that actor who killed rosette ?? I think his name is chris coldavino !! Love him , I can see they have plans for him next year ! Great casting ‘n
What are you talking about? Never heard anyone say anything about the fourth being the final season of Boardwalk Empire. Pretty sure you’re thinking of Treme there.
Could it have anything to do with the fact that every 60 minute episode of “Boardwalk” feels like 2 hours?
