Started out a bit slow--even the music sucked for the first 5 episodes. So many great artists to draw from in '68. Don seemed to be in a downward spiral all season, while the other characters (except Peter) seemed on the way up. The last couple of episodes of season 6, where Don had to reap what he sowed, were very strong though depressing. As always, the writers are able to do justice to the power and gravity of the times and show how each character is impacted in everything from fashion and sexuality to world views and domestic realities.

...I told you it will suck without Jimmy.
nothing is more boring than the truth - bukowski
I don't know what you're talking about. Jimmy's character was the weak link in the show. The most poorly acted and the most poorly written. What exactly do you miss about him? The cliched oedipal plot that made your skin crawl whenever there was a scene with Gillian? The strained-past-the-breaking-point relationship with Nucky? The constant brooding and posturing?
Season 3 focused on Gyp Rosetti, who was also a painful character but infinitely more entertaining than Jimmy. The New York and Chicago development was more interesting than in past seasons, and Nucky's tragic affair, cliffhanger escapes and political maneuvers added a greater level of intrigue. Most uplifting of all, Jimmy's kid was saved from the disgusting prison that his father left him in. What exactly "sucked"?
