The flashbacks this season aren't supportive of the story in this time frame of the series. If these had been included a little into each season, to fill in some of Nucky's history as things unfolded, they might have come off better. As it is, crowding all of this backstory into the final season just interrupts the unwinding of the tale.
The backstory of the younger Nucky as a deputy is made ludicrous by the huge fangs that the makeup people crammed into the mouth of the actor. It would have been easy to make some less intrusive caps for his teeth to make them a little more prominent, but they chose instead to buy some plastic falsies from a novelty store.
The writers have become a little frantic with this final season and are getting in their own way with the story. It's not up to the standards of the earlier seasons at all.
