Jimmy was the weakest link, both as an actor and a character. He stuck out like a sore thumb. He was dumb as a hammer, but tried hard to act cerebral. The plot made it seem like his mother and father were ultimately to blame for his oedipal predicament, but the way Nucky ended season 2 showed there is something much deeper and less predictable in him than in Jimmy. Only Nucky had the smarts and savvy to make the Ireland deal, guns for whiskey, and Jimmy lacked the discipline, strategic thinking and people skills to get on top and stay there.

Season 3 got great reviews, and I'm looking forward to a season without the weakest actor.
