21 Years Later- The Sopranos

I disagree TS was never a likeable person. The genius of Gandolfini/Chase, was at times, making you forget he was a ruthless gangster and portraying him as a goofy, albeit highly flawed family man. Then a few scenes later, he's slapping hos, shaking people down, and ordering guys whacked or even whacking them himself.

I don't think there was ever any doubt that Tony Soprano was anything but a piece of work gangster...despite being able to put the mask on and be a 'family man' you always knew the good side of him was a fraud...there was no real ambiguity there...he's a great character and Gandolfini was excellent in the role but i never liked the guy and i certainly didn't see him as an antihero

WW was the epitome of the family man and turned into a gangster...it's quite a different narrative
