Five seasons of intrigue, betrayal and mobster milestones came to an end on Sunday as the final episode of "Boardwalk Empire" aired on HBO. It was a shocking ending, but how did the finale stack up against some of television's most memorable, like "The Sopranos" and "Breaking Bad"?

HuffPost Live dug into the final hour of "Boardwalk Empire" during Monday's episode of "Spoiler Alert," when host Ricky Camilleri and a panel of TV lovers shared their thoughts on who lived, who died and what it all means after 56 episodes.
