Episode of Series “The Sopranos”.
Season four of this award-winning television series created by David Chase. The dark exploration of masculinity, abuse and violence which is central to this series exemplifies what is unique to The Sopranos: terrific writing, outstanding performances and a daring audacity to fully explore the brutality of contemporary culture in the US. The mores and ethics of organised crime seem an apt metaphor for the capitalist system.
