...Or, How To Make a Bundle With Nothing More Than A Mismatched Group Of High School Players
Really now. Gandolfini sounds more and more like Bugs Bunny, the unensembled actors can't hit their mark let alone deliver the proper line, and, perhaps worst of all, Chase is feeling his Hollywood oats in trying to turn this sows ear into something resembling a silk purse and it is flat out embarassing.
This is what happens when you steal the premise from a funny movie and try to drag it out for 6 years. Not that it can't be done; America loves rapscallion gangsters and has grown to embrace the family as one of their own. But Chase is calling in the chips and raking in the cash by phoning each and every episode in as he strives for artsy-schmartsy, and if the production values get any cheaper they'll be renting closet space for the seasons grand finale.
Me, I'm still waiting to find out what happened to the Russian after season 3. Or was it 2? Couldn't have been 1, back then they were still trying.
