I think the problem is that in the prior seasons you didn't have everything tie together as well, so the audience had no faith that the early stuff this season had much value to the bigger story.
I wonder how much perception changes if we go back and watch those eps knowing that the stuff with the son-in-law isn't a one off story.
This will sound awful- but one of the things that frustrates me about this show (more it's fans really) is that there's enough badass moments to it that it starts to pick up the fanbase that just wants to see Richard cap fools and has no time for the non-gangster plot elements. Then suddenly the thread has to deal with people who are watching a show that isn't really the show they want it to be.
