is it true the sopranos is lowkey a progressive show?

Any show or film with therapy is progressive bullshit

>HBO show
>not pozzed to shit

I think the show illustrates that therapy is bullshit though.

yeah, it shows a bunch of guineas like they are actual people with complex inner lives and motivations

It does - or at least that therapy doesn't work on psychopaths

Melfi is pretty much constantly shown as naive and misguided - I think her not telling Tony about the rape was probably her only real moral victory

Tony just wanted a quick stop to his panic attacks and was hoping the pills would basically just erase his problems. He ended up using what Melfi taught him not to self-improve, but instead to better run the mafia family

look how healthy and fresh everyone looked

if earth didn't have the sun would we all be immortsl

Stop talking like a nigger, you faggot.
And yes, it's obviously a left-wing show, just like Mad Men.

>>213318353 (OP)
"Lowkey"?

>>213318353 (OP)
nothing lowkey about it, it's
>this gangster asshole guy - you like him, everyone does don't say you don't because you MUST like him!
>btw if you didn't know he is BAD!
>because of mommy issues childhood trauma and le toxic homophobic masculinity

>>213318353 (OP)
No. It's full of redpills.

Progressive in the sense that it challenges stereotypes, not progressive in the sense of attacking anyone.

Idk ill ask those two black guys

Yeah there’s a clear example of a therapist being good in the one that works with Carmela briefly. Sometimes the solution is obvious, leave your criminal husband, stop doing crimes, etc. I’m reminded in Mad Men when Don is in a relationship with Faye and she’s essentially the one and only person to tell Don to just stop running from his problems and stop pretending to be someone else, confront your past, turn yourself in, it’s the only way he’d find any permanent semblance of peace. But of course he can’t and won’t. It’s the oldest joke in therapy, how many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb, one but the lightbulb really has to want to change. Tony didn’t want to change, he just wanted his symptoms gone. Don didn’t want to change he just wanted to be rid of his symptoms. Carmela didn’t want to change, she just wanted to be rid of her symptoms.
