Every season of Boardwalk Empire has focused on one or two characters and for season four, it seems like Richard Harrow has taken a bit of a backseat. Being so prominent in previous seasons, it seems like the writers have focused on his revealing his past more this time around, to foreshadow what is to come for the future.
And the way he approached Nucky Thompson in last week’s episode makes us think that he’ll have a huge role in what happens during the last episodes of the season.
Considering he’s one of our favorite characters, we’ve grown to appreciate Richard, for more than just being a killer. There are a lot of sides to this wounded veteran. Some that are overshadowed by the fact he would gut and skin a foe without hesitation. But deep down, he still has a good heart and just wants to be happy like the rest of us.
Walk with us as we break down the many aspects of Richard Harrow.
