I'm two-thirds of the way through this one and disappointed. This is heavy into the manipulation of the powerful crime houses and little into the personal and insightful tales into life for those caught in the house members' machinations. It's like if "The Wire" started following local politics instead of life on the streets. *yawn* Does anybody care whether the house members live or die? The exciting, engaging part of the series is the way the house members cruelly affect the lives of people we can sympathize with. There's little of that here. ( )
