I love Boardwalk Empire so much

Margaret is such a badass. A couple of episodes she was bantering with these two politicians who'd just been talking with Nucky about how women were too stupid and uninformed to deserve the vote, and she says, "don't keep what we want from us, or we'll take away what you want - alcohol," and they lol that Prohibition isn't doing that much. And then Nucky starts brushing her off for days when she's trying to get him to get rid of these bootleggers near her house - so she tips off Van Alden and gets all the beer for his St. Patrick's party seized and some of his guests arrested, and is front and center in the crowd when he comes out, making eye contact to let him know YOU DON'T MESS WITH MARGARET.

All the characters are such messes and they all do so many bad things without always being justified by the narrative. Those Darmondys. Jimmy's self-destruction is such a train wreck.
