Back when we started this crazy Sopranos rewatch podcast all those year ago, "Knights In White Satin" was exactly the kind of episode we had in mind.

It introduces all sorts of new and interesting characters, from Jackie Aprile's son Jackie Jr. to Irina's cousin, the one-leg...

It's both probably the most Scorsese episode and the first episode where Dr. Melfi's storyline is one of the better ones. Dr....
