Can we have some fun discussing Tony Soprano as antihero?

Maybe. A few years ago I saw the entire series for the first time, on Netflix. I was pretty well riveted by it and plowed straight on through, one disc after another. The framing of the drama as a crime boss consulting a therapist was brilliant.

So what did you have in mind?

I just finished watching The Many Saints of Newark and was pretty much confused throughout, trying to figure out who did what to whom and trying to figure out who they were in relation to Tony. And that’s after watching the series x2. p.s. Tony’s son in real life played him in the movie. Their eyes are very similar.

@smudges: I watched Many Saints of Newark last night and I didn’t like it. I found it one dimensional. I think Sopranos was so superior, such incredible acting, in comparison. I also kept mixing up Dickie Moltisanti and Tony’s father, because the actors looked so similar.

I have the full DVD set, and have watched it a few times.
My favorite part of it is the unmerciful ragging they do on each other.

@jca2 Exactly! I was really disappointed in it and am glad to hear it’s not just me. And I kept getting them mixed up too!

Btw, if you want to “have fun” with this question, don’t post it in General.

@filmfann It was a mistake. I never deliberately post in general.

@HP, you can flag it and a mod will move it for you.

Another of my crusty gripes. Flags should be saved for issues that matter. The gods will arrange things as they choose.
