I like the 1st season very much ... the 2nd season is still good.
Anthony Soprano
Tony is still the most powerful character in the show.
The profile of a mobster.
He is still human after all.
Mob have family.
It is another way to make a living.
No different than running any business.
At the end of the day ...
You still need to go home.
You still have a family to take care.
You still have your problem as a father.
You still have a bad relationship with you mom.
You need to interact with you neighbour.
You have your emotional problems to deal with.
You need to see doctor.
In Tony's case, the doctor is a Shrink.
Story is good.
Mob screw others to make a living.
If you take the stand of a victim, you feel pretty bad.
If you indulge yourself into Tony's role, you feel pretty good being bad guy.
Cheer for the bad guys.
Screw the "good" guys.
Yeah !!! Why not ???
Well, you are a bad guy.
You just do what you are supposed to do.
Your are still who you are.
You are trying to keep your sane.
Killing is part of your job.
No enjoyment or excitment from the job.
If you do, you are SICK.
Just have to do it.
You check your moral at the door.
This is very straight forward.
I like this show :0
