Hey, you know, you folks aren’t gonna believe this, but the Sopranos? Pretty good!

I knew therapy was involved, but I didn’t know how key it was, and it’s such a strong conceit that instantly gives the series its own identity and puts its themes on display. Tony isn’t a good person by any stretch. But he is a person, human, and that humanity fuels the evil inside. Therapy might help him funnel it, but even here he weaponizes the methods of it, applies the same methods his therapist used on him onto Christopher and others. It instantly makes me want to see more, see Tony’s progress. Especially his progress into what.
