The show is produced by a lot of different people, including (but not limited to??) Scorsese, Terence Winter and Mark Wahlberg.

How does that work? Who has final authority? I assume it would be Scorsese but what does it really mean when you have a bunch of different "executive producers".

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
