I steered clear of this show for a long time due to my aversion to all things gangster/mafia. I hated Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco and I've yet to be able to sit through the entirety of The Godfather. I felt cheated by every black rapper on MTV Cribs when I finally saw Scarface. This show works for me because it's not just some show glorifying the mafia. It really delves deep into how the life of a Mafioso affects Tony Soprano and his family. The first episode caught me off guard when it began with Tony Soprano seeing a shrink. However, what I was originally scared was some lame plot device spawned one of the more interesting characters in the show. Pretty much every character is interesting in some respect and I'm looking forward to spending 5 more seasons with 'em.
Anyway, I hope my contributions in May are much higher than my contributions in April. Hopefully I will be done with my exams in 2 weeks and then my only excuse will be the new job.
Tony Soprano is probably the deepest character in the history of television. Have fun. This is my second favorite show of all time.
