take a pinch of goodfellas and mix it with the godfather and add some roman mythology and plenty of lowbrow comedy and and you have the soprano and about a mob clan operate out of northern new jersey . it almost as entertaining a pro wrestling . i be not the big fan of this show and but i do admire james gandolfini very complicated tony soprano and a psychopath with an occasional glimmer of conscience . i also have come to admire te contribution of folk like gravel voice dom chianese a the bewilder but murderous uncle junior and silver haired tony sirico a the perpetually perplexed paulie and the very beautiful edie falco a the duplicitous and tough a nails carmela soprano . the violence be sudden and graphic and the body count steadily climb each season and but it be often the small moment that matter most here . watch paulie and tony nephew christopher ( michael imperioli late of law and order ) a they get lose in the pine barren and sit out a bitter cold night in an abandon trruck and both convince they have have it .
