what you said about the show mocking the characters reminded me of the italians in ghost dog, which iirc came out a year or two before the sopranos started

tpaine posted:the sopranos is a comedy, not a drama, the whole thing is just to make fun of those characters and their thoughts and actions and it's brilliant
they are hilarious people who keep getting killed by god or their own stupidity
ilmdge posted:Can someone convince me to continue watching the sopranos? I am about half way through season two and it is nothing like I thought it would be. I thought there would be more mafia drama and violence its really just becoming white family problems and I just can't handle that. Does it get a lot better or is this kind of the theme the show will have?
First of all, they're Italian;

a friend of my dads grew up in the same area of suburban jersey as david chase and says he recognizes some of the characters as being based on people he knew growing up, including one of his middle school teachers or something. so yeah its definitely based on the jersey suburb experience
