Well, at the risk of falling under the “butt monkey” label, I’d like to argue with you.
No similarities between BB and Soprans what so ever, to my mind. The Ton-ster is a mobster just to make money period. Walt is motivated initially by desperation then goes to the Dark Side. Ton abuses women (his wife, strippers, women workers)...Walt doesn’t...among other dissimilarities.
And OC is a “guilty pleasure” like watching a train wreck or an Obozo press conference or Congress in action. No reflection on my “cred”.
And I think people who think someone else’s opinion is “argument for argument’s sake” are called “My way or the highway-ers”...have a nice weekend, FRiend.
I see a lot of similarities between BB and Sopranos. Both are about an anti-hero whose primary conflicts are with other criminals and law enforcement. Both anti-hero characters like to think that they do what they do for the sake of their family but in reality bring a lot of grief to their family. And both temporarily drive their family away with what they do, and when they get their families back it’s not because they changed but because their spouse learned to live with it and in some ways even embrace it. And in both this acceptance re-inforces their behavior and lead (or is leading) to their downfall.
