It could be me, I fully admit it. Check out Camelot if you can, see what you think comparing the two.
See, I didn't like Boardwalk Empire or the Tudors, either, but I did like the Sopranos, Dexter, Big Love (except for this last season)... like I said, I'm still on the fence. My biggest problem, currently, is they alternate between virtually whispering and shouting, I can't hear WTF they're saying most of the time, and there are SO many characters I'm losing the plot.
