Williams) meet the final act of the Prohibition era.

Here are 5 reasons why you should get Boardwalk Empire: Season 5 on DVD/Blu-Ray:

5) The Odd Couple

The unlikeliest team-up happened between Eli Thompson (Shea Whigham), who became a complete drunk, and Nelson Van Alden (Michael Shannon), Capone's right-hand man. Because they're close to Capone, the FBI wants this weird pairing to take down their boss and get the incriminating evidence.

4) Stephen Graham

At the top of his game, Graham delivers so many sides to Al Capone; making him tough, funny, and scary all at once. But there's a sadness to the character, especially when Capone has to say goodbye to his son. The emotional scene harkens back to the first season, as Capone tried to teach his deaf son how to be a man.

3) Omar's Coming! Omar's Coming!

Did you happen to see The Wire marathon during the Christmas holidays?The Purge: Anarchy actor played a different kind of gangster on this show. Falling on hard times, Chalky became a fugitive on the run after he escaped from prison. The only thing that kept him going behind bars was getting revenge against Narcisse (Jeffrey Wright).

2) Matt Letscher

Letscher played the charismatic and sleazy businessman, Joseph "Joe" Kennedy. The Carrie Diaries actor has the accent down pat, without his voice being over-the-top.

1) That Ending!

From beginning to end, viewers can follow the flashbacks seamlessly of how Gillian Darmody (Gretchen Mol) came into Nucky's life. What you do in the past has consequences in the future. Plus actor Marc Pickering does an awesome Steve Buscemi impersonation as young Nucky. Seriously, where did they find this guy?
