although i would like to some day and i have never see the soprano and therefore can not compare the two . not have even regular cable or satelite have certainly limit what i can see on tv and which be not necessarily bad and either . kingpin strike me a something of a cross between traffic and the godfather and with miguel cadena a the michael corleone character ( soft speak and college educate and etc . ) . the show certainly be a risky endeavor for nbc and a it focus mainly on character with no apology for what they do . and while this be no masterpiec of television entertainment and it be certainly and in my own opinion much more intriguing than reality tv and and even some of the police drama that be so popular on the big three ( nb and abc and cbs ) . a the title character and i sometimes think that miguel be perhaps too weak and not that yancy aria be not good in the role and but even michael corleone and in his calmness and kill two men and one of them a cop . the editing seem to usually convey the story well . while his character be not terribly important and brian benben dr. klein offer some much need comic relief to an otherwise grim miniseries . marlene be certainly very tough and sexy and and chato make the series interesting a miguels older brother and who and sometimes quite surprisingly and inventively and take care of eliminate unwanteds . a the series come to a close and however and i become less interested in the cadena family and although both the scene where chato kill the policeman who rap him and and the scene where their uncle strangle the senator with a garote be both very exciting . i become more and more interested in the dea part in the series and after delia flores get mixed up in the investigation into truck thompson and his narcotic officer cousin and rolando porter . unless there be enough of an audience to suggest this become a regular series and i think that in the end there seem and somehow and to be a lack of closure for the character .
