I really like Carcetti’s scene, when he gives the speech about the homeless. My impression is that there’s a part of him that really believe in what he is saying, but at the same time he has submitted and reduced himself to just survive and ascend in the system, which he knows is broken. On the other hand, the scene is filmed in a way that we slowly zoom in on him, as if inviting the viewer to believe him, to be excited about the justice in his words, but at the same time, it is as if they were asking us to see him clearly in the face, to look him in the eyes and ask ourself if we really can trust him. The complexities of Carcetti’s character fascinate me.

To be fair, Livia and Janice Soprano are pretty horrible people, but basically everyone on that show is a horrible person. Why don't you watch a more light-hearted show, maybe a comedy series or something to cleanse your palette before jumping into The Sopranos. I don't know if you've watched any of these but some suggestions: Arrested Development Curb Your Enthusiasm It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Ted Lasso

Yeah that great part about the scene is that Tommy is right, just like he was right in his last stump speech about crime, or in the debate about murdered witnesses (well, technically he was wrong about that one specifically)... but he's obviously using the rhetoric for selfish reasons. Using such a self-serving, nakedly political character as a tool for delivering some of the most clear-eyed, impassioned oratory on the show, directly speaking to the problems in society, is a fascinating creative choice. I think it gives the show an excuse for being so direct -- because the character is insincere, it takes the edge off the sincerity of the writing, kind of a trojan horse for compassion.

Livia Soprano is one of the best characters ever created for TV. She is an awesome, horrible, amazingly nuanced character. She's weak but crazily strong, addled but surprisingly sharp, loving but devastatingly toxic...she's a truly unique character. Janice is much less nuanced. She Livia -1.0. All the other main characters are also mostly awful people with interesting and quite believable pros and cons. Tony is the main character and vacillates from a loving family man wanting to do what's right and (more often) a brutal, loveless, faithless, emotionless man who acts impulsively, consequences be damned. In my mind, the debate between the best TV series of all time is always between The Wire and The Sopranos.
