    I tried to get into it because of all the praise it has received and was confused about why it received said praise. It tells a story of a bunch of sleaze bags, with king sleaze bag emotionally wounded because of all his sleaze bag actions. Okay… That was already done a dozen times before The Sopranos came along. What’s the big deal?

      Youre missing the point if that’s what you got from it

      It’s a metaphor about the decline of America. The mob stuff is just window dressing used to tell that story. Just as how the tortoise and the hare isn’t actually a story about two animals

        I quit watching after about 4 episodes, so I guess I did miss all of that. How long does it take for that to become apparent?
