I know I'm probably gonna border on hyperbole here, but The Sopranos made me think about myself and my own moral fallibility more than any bit of media I've probably ever consumed save for maybe The Brothers Karamazov. Tony Soprano is by all means an absolutely deplorable man. He's violent and depraved and has a near religious adherence to his own twisted code. So why are we compelled to cheer for him?

I'd say its probably a combination of the show's accurate depictions of generational trauma and borderline personality disorder, and Gandolfini's incredible performance. You understand Tony's past, so you understand and begin to empathize with his actions even when they are terrifying and misanthropic. Gandolfinis ability to evoke empathy for an actual monster is nothing less than profound.

I stopped cheering for him when he wrecked that poor cops (yea yea acab) life for puling him over for wreckless driving

Dude had to work at home depot

also Carmella is the most evil character in the show (hello i know your husband is in prison and your losing everything but check out new my porche cayenne)

why do I feel so bad for Christopher when he is such a stupid piece of poo poo all the time

Because tony's an abusive manipulative oval office that used him and then disposed of him like a tissue, Chris was what Tony made him

I think I've decided that I'm just a sucker for period shows with really, really good sets and wardrobe (like Boardwalk Empire)


You did Rome, right? That's a show that gets overlooked way too much for how tremendous it was.

he's so good in Oz too honestly, just does not give a single gently caress about anyone. one of his very first scenes he comes into the kitchen that i think is run by like the puerto ricans maybe? and one guy is trying to menace him and he just says "yeah, whatever" and completely ignores him despite being this skinny little irish dude by himself and he's just a complete prick to everyone

Its awesome, the prisons full of these big dangerous aryan/muslim/black/mexican/mafia factions and he's casually scheming around them all. and they know it but nobody really wants to gently caress with him, because he'll just easily find a way to merk you.

I think it's unfair to hate AJ more than his parents; he's just dumb. Every moment which depicts either Tony or Carmella suffering is really enjoyable.

i mean it was a rape scene, rape is horrific, the scene was horrific - it adds up, your not supposed to enjoy watching it. I remember same complaints about game of thrones -- 'oh that rape scene went too far, it should have been a nicer gentler rape'

also I get the arguments for just dont have rape scenes ever, i'd probably prefer that myself, nobody thats not got real issues actually likes seeing them

I'll tell you one thing and I'm not ashamed to say it, my estimation of John Sacrimoni as a man just loving plummeted.

Also I wanted manicotti but made grill cheese on the radiator!
