The Sopranos was a hit show filled with complex characters flirting with danger, grappling with tragedy, and trying to figure out how to survive in this dark world. In this compilation video, we're taking a look back at our takes analyzing three of the show's most interesting characters: Tony Soprano, Carmela Soprano, and Adriana La Cerva. We're digging into how Adriana became such a beloved character (and why that made her entire story all the more tragic.) Then we'll unpack one of The Sopranos' central questions: can Tony every really be "cured"? After that, we're peeling back the many layers of the onion that is Carmela Soprano to better understand her story. And finally, we're taking a closer look at the show's iconic (and, at the time, widely hated) ending to figure out what the show was *really* trying to tell us in the end.
