The joke is that episode 30 "Fly" is famously the lowest-rated episode of the series. At 7.9/10.

[–] Kiernian@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Interestingly, that was the episode that made me stop watching.

I suspect I just don't normally like watching shows about miserable people making other miserable people even more miserable, which made the fact that I really enjoyed Boardwalk Empire a surprise.

Guess there must be some other element to it.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Hm... yeah, I get that (not the part about Boardwalk Empire, haven't seen that yet). Most people in BB are definitely miserable!

I liked BB a lot, especially on a second watch through many years later, but the main reason is probably just that I can understand why each character behaves the way they do - the writing is consistently "realistic" in a manner I haven't really seen anywhere else with a comparable length.
