| Lads - I'm gonna have to take your word for this. But Gerk recommended this programm to me months ago. So I bought the first series and watched 4 episodes and I haven't really got in to it at all. Am I missing out on something or is it just a slow starter? |

Its a slow starter Alex. I only got gripped mid to end of series 1 when you really start to get into the characters. ------------- YBIG Table Quiz winner 2016 & 2017 AS YOU WERE McGx |

Nearly all good things on TV are slow starters - best series I have seen in a long time.
seen the sopranos start to practically finish via the box set, when the wire finishes on BBC will try the West Wing on boxset ------------- 'Irish' Songs for an Irish team - no SPL EPL generic sh*te Richard Dunne - 6th Sept 11 - best marshalling of a defence in Moscow since General Zukov Russia V Germany 1941 |

I'll be truly gutted when i finish it. Into season 5 now but taking it slow.
In my mind its far from over rated. The characters, acting, story lines and plots are top quality.

Season 1 - amazing
Season 2 - not enough gangster action
Season 3 - amazing - brother Muzzone!
Season 4 - different but quality.
Season 5 - goes a bit too absurd....
Have heard the Shield is quite good, am gonna watch that once I'm finished with Mad Men.
