While it was enjoyable, I didn't find it particularly satisfying. They are still muddling around trying to figure out which storylines they are going to follow. It is a challenge that all successful shows face, but some really blow it.
The Sopranos wasted a few seasons this way. I hope that the final eight episodes give a little more back and provide a little more satisfaction.

I'm actually thinking about watching The Sopranos for the first time ever (Netflix) soon. Worth it?
Sandra,
Yes. I think that it is.
Sandra - yes the entire series is definitely worthy of your attention. Every series has one or two bad seasons depending on its length - season six was that season for the Sopranos. Everything before this season? Fantastic :)
Most of the reviews were disappointed in "Kaisha", but I liked it b/c I didn't think of it as a finale. The season (and series) will be concluded with eight additional episodes in January. [For the Sproanos, a six-month break is like a two-week break for any other series!) If you think of this as a mid-season episode rather than a finale, it had plenty of meat.
Elie,
That is true, but something was missing for me. It was like a meal where one of the key spices was left out.
It was good, but not quite what I was hoping for.
