After watching Episode 12 of Boardwalk Empire's 2nd season, I thought it ended the story and there would be no Season 3. My husband and I are not happy with the direction things headed and quite upset at the unexpected departure of a character we considered to be crucial to the show. Was he getting more attention than the "star" wanted him to have? I doubt we'll watch Season 3.
