‘The Sopranos’ was a well-acted and well-written series. It was a masterpiece. But I always felt uncomfortable watching it - to the point that I eventually stopped.
More often than not the Soprano crew won. They were usually successful in intimidating innocents, and stealing everything they could. It was like watching a successful SS squad in action.
So yeah, I gotta agree with you.
One of the things about the show, and you only realize in the last season, was that the families were fighting each other so much, they didn’t even realize the whole time the world was starting to pass them by.
There’s a great scene where won of the mobsters starts talking on his cellphone in Little Italy only to realize at the end of the call he was in Chinatown. That scene showed how much Little Italy had shrunk, and it served as a metaphor for how much the clout of the mafia had waned by that time.
Do U expect all tv or movies to be positive morally?
That kills a lot of literature
It’s a story....a sad but entertaining one
Tony’s life is a mess and he’s a sociopath obviously
I’ve watched it four times
With each time Tony looks worse and worse
A bad man with a hint of a conscience who chooses instead to ignore it
And the way he treats women....awful
The ambiguity.....intentional....of his reaction to the horses death with that of the hopelessly naive daft stripper prostitute at the hands of Ralphie is somewhat redeeming.....and the fact he never kills stupid Artie shows he knows right from wrong
That’s about as good as he gets morally ...he loves his kids too I guess
Only truly somewhat decent character is Bobby Bacalao
I think it best tv series ever done .
They did get away with a lot, but look how almost all of them ended up. Dead. In a permanent vegetative state. Locked up for life. Most of them met a very bad end one way or the other.
