First season wasn't the most interesting I have to say, but it picks up.

I wish they'd cut out all the psychiatrist crap. Just seems like pointless filler and slows it all down. Same with a lot of the family bits - that's probably where your boredom comes from? If you take that away and concentrate on the Mafia bits I think you'd enjoy it more. Having said that, once you do that you're left with an enormous 'Casino' or 'Goodfellas'...
