    Sopranos, ho hum

    I started renting this show from Netflix because of the rave reviews, but couldn't make it through the first season. I gave up after the episode in which Soprano threatens his daughter's soccer coach because he was going to leave for better job. After that stupidity, I checked on IMDb, and found the shrink was in almost every episode. I knew I didn't want to watch five more seasons of him going to the shrink every episode, so I bailed.

    Why so many people think this show is so great baffles me. I guess it beats watching paint dry.
