The mobster boss is in therapy. His therapist is usually a pretty good therapist, and it is a fairly accurate portrayal of therapy. The therapy aspects allow a deeper character study. I certainly don't watch it for the mobster parts.
His therapist meets with another therapist, and that relationship is pretty murky. I don't think those sessions are a particularly accurate representation of either supervision or her own therapy. But the therapy that she does with the mobster is pretty good.
I don't fast forward through the rest (because the therapy makes more sense if you know what is going on in the character's lives), but I do close my eyes for the gorier parts.
P.S. This is not one to watch when your children are up - lots of violence and quite a bit of nudity.
