I get it, the acting is a little suspect in places, and there doesn't appear to be a huge budget available for making this series. With all that stated, this is a very good show, interesting, and well worth the time to watch it. The best thing about all of this to me is the interesting characters and the interesting stories. I have no idea if it is authentic or not, because I'm not from Brooklyn, nor am I Italian. But as an outsider just observing it all, it's good enough. Maybe as the seasons keep going, there will be more money to shoot with? Again, if you are expecting a high budgeted Hollywood series, you will be disappointed. But if you see it for it is, it's definitely good enough.
