I'm gonna havta pass...

I can't remember where I read this, but this is not an original thought: I don't want to re-enter Tony Soprano's world. I just can't stay with this season, so let me know how it turns out.

Don't get me wrong: this is one of the best shows on TV, from the writing to the music and imagery. And that "world" is one of the more vivid that's ever been put on the screen.


But I have to say, I feel nasty when I watch this show. I lose faith in everything, and start to buy in to the shows darkness: everyone's a phony, everyone's out to take what you have, and there's no redemption.


If Tony would finally start fighting terrorists or something, maybe I'd keep watch to see where that went, but probably not.


I love great storytelling, I love great characters, and this show is full of examples of the best of both. But I just can't do it anymore.

Ciao baby.
