This season was slow and i think is gearing up for season five. Season 4 could have been better but could have been worse. Spent alot of time introducing new characters and tiring up back story loose ends.

I think Ricks charecter is back as we know him..

The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

"What if the Mafia were not an organization but a widespread Sicilian attitude of hostility towards the law?"
