People and critics openly complaining about the meandering nature of the show.

It's got some great episodes though. Whitecaps, Everybody Hurts, Intervention... the "college" episode and University is kind of a Godfather/Goodfellas dynamic. The former from S1 being almost poetic and honorable, the latter being pure savage

You get more unfocused stuff like the HUD, ep (black criminals on the Sopranos were always pretty cringy), What they did to Furio was pretty jarring. He came to town as the coldest one and they turned him into this sensitive romance novel guy out of nowhere, and Carm being into him came out of nowhere, Tony's ominous trailer scene in the turning out to be over a horse...truly none of these things really stand out as all that bad on a rewatch but I remember some of them being jarring at the time
