I respectfully, and strongly, disagree.

Hearing people, including talk-show hosts, discuss the series makes it clear it glamourizes organized crime.

See my previous post.

I respect your opinion, but I think you have misjudged the depiction of evil as being equivalent to glorifying evil; when in fact The Sopranos exposed and ridiculed the evil and stupidity of a criminal underworld that had previously enjoyed the very glorification you condemn. The Sopranos was a much-needed corrective to the romantic myths surrounding the Italian-American Mob.
