The final scene here is everything. After being adamently rejected by Melfi, Tony wants to reach out to Carmela for support, but doesn't even know where to start. As he is standing idly, Carm assumes her usual kitchen role and Tony, in response, takes his place at the table. The two are so close yet so far away from each other. Conditioned to do and to say what gets them through each day, but emotionally neutered by that very same conditioning. They're trapped in their prison palace, and as Tony asks Carm to sit with him at the table, no conversation is struck; she simply rifles through their mail.

“How many people have to die for your growth?” is a great summation of this series, and the fact it’s already tackling that question two seasons in is so exciting

So her psychiatrist doesn't wanna see her anymore? But funnier was the part where these two Tony's nephew's employers kicked a guy's ass. So funny, lmao. "Anyone got a problem with Webistics?" And: "Get back to your fucking office," they yelled. It looks like these two guys will have some importance in the future.

A mediocre unassuming season premiere. Only thing that I found interesting: the mob is running a boiler room. I mean the actual boiler room scenes are boring but I'd really appreciate to learn more about their operations, logistics, "shareholder" structure and national network. Instead we're watching a family drama and watch Tony suffer mentally. Don't get me wrong - that's still worthwhile to watch. But that was my biggest complaint about season one: they don't tell you how the Mafia actually operates. You get the false impression that their job primarily consists of making their wives happy and keep the family intact. As if that's all it takes to run a successful illicit business.
