It's pretty different than the first two seasons, much more like a typical gangster story arc, but I think it has been very solid so far.....10 episodes down, 2 more to go.

Anyone else watching? What do you think of season 3?

I'm liking it a bunch. I think I'm actually enjoying the story more this year than previously, where I looked at it in hindsight and said "oh, yeah. That was good." I also feel like I have a better handle on Nucky and what makes him tick this season than when I was watching before (the episode where he and Owen were holed up with the booze-stealing kid was what put the pieces into place for me, and suddenly lots of things he had done made sense in hindsight, and all of a sudden I got Margaret as well. Don't like her any better, mind you, but also get why she and Nucky click together, what they see in each other). I think that kind of understanding of the character makes his travails more interesting, and the inevitable fight-back portion of the story much more investment-worthy than simply understanding that by the nature of a serialized drama, he is going to inevitably win in the finale.

I particularly enjoyed the latest episode and the character-implications of the title combined with the poem Eddie was reciting. Being a Kipling fan, it's always good to see him get the shout-outs, and "If" is a classic for a reason.
