The Sopranos in Less Than 75 Words

The beauty of The Sopranos was this: Everything you thought was they was us.

The Sopranos was myth-making at its finest. Not myth as the grandiose lie our post-modern society believes myth to be. Myth as Truth.

Phil Leotardo was our post-Constitutional Republic.

Tony Soprano was The Republic.

Carmella was The Public.

A.J. was The Ego.

Meadow is The Future.

Human beings. Every fucking one of us have rotten genes.
