Why watch a show about a bunch of morally bankrupt, selfish, murderous sociopaths (and those who enable them)? Because these are fascinating characters to watch. To WATCH, not to see as role models or admire or take notes from. None of the people populating the world of the Sopranos are to be admired, and if anyone needs to see this series as a morality play, consider it as one example after another of what not to do.
It's smart, it's visceral and it's damn funny, too, thanks to David Chase, his brilliant cast, writers, directors, and the whole crew. As a fan from the beginning, the first two episodes of this final set have thrilled me, and I look forward to seeing how it all plays out, hopefully with several very severe comeuppances.
