Download The Sopranos on the Couch: Analyzing Television's Greatest Series ePub

The Sopranos has proved a pop-culture sensation. It is not only the most controversial series on television, it is also the most provocative, thoughtful, and complex. Its characters and phrases have entered our everyday life, well beyond HBO's many millions of subscribers. The language and themes of The Sopranos have stretched the norms of commercial television. Sales of the video and DVD releases of Season 2, as we now move into Season 4, have likewise broken all records for similar film-and-television series. The Sopranos on the Couch is the first book to provide a compact, lively, and authoritative examination of each episode and season - the themes, inside jokes, and allusions - thereby putting the series into a broader cultural context. If television programming is normally considered a wasteland, then The Sopranos may be thought of as a jungle: richly colored, teeming with life, dark with mystery. The Sopranos on the Couch is a must for all who are already caught up in the excitement, as well as for viewers who are coming to the show for the first time. Yacowar helps us understand exactly why we can't get enough of Tony Soprano and that colorful mafia family that we hate to love and often love to hate!>

Sopranos on the Couch does a good job of analyzing and finding the themes of every episode, which is well-suited for that particular television series. I would have liked, in addition to this, a section where we could analyzed each component, such as characters, outside of the constraints of plot, instead summarizing and analyzing that particular part, especially through the lens of psychology. In fairness, the author does this if it pertains to the episode in question. But it is not analyzed through psychology. I would have liked to come away from reading this book having learned more about psychology, not just about the Soprano series.
