Even when they go to a funeral any introspection is 5 seconds deep and then it goes back to “gotta get my money” and “gotta wet that dick.” A nation of animals. Nothing redeeming about any of it. The Iranians are right. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5860307&forum_id=2),#49841262) |

Date: April 25th, 2026 3:11 AM Author: .- .-. . .-. . .--. - .. .-.. . The Sopranos was a case study in sociopaths in the literal mafia. Landman is supposed to be vanilla America in the oil patch. Only the cartel dude is supposed to be a sociopath. Not the same thing. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5860307&forum_id=2),#49841322) |

Date: April 26th, 2026 7:34 AM Author: OYT and the Indie Reprieve ( ) It was more than a case study of the mafia. Tony and his family were the vehicle for Chase to critique America. This was obvious enough that you don’t even need a Loser film critic to point it out. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5860307&forum_id=2),#49843774) |
|
Date: April 26th, 2026 7:39 AM Author: cowgod Chase was just obsessed with the relationship between Tony and his mother imo. It’s the heart of the show to him.
Also people who kill people constantly aren’t as taken aback when someone dies. It’s TV also, they have to move on to the next thing. |

Date: April 26th, 2026 8:12 AM Author: OYT and the Indie Reprieve ( ) I’m a dissenter in that I prefer the latter seasons when he really leaned into the surreal dream sequences and stuff. I stand by my assertion that fat mouth-breathing Tony in a bath robe was a metaphor for the US. I know that Scumbags idolize Tony but I think this irked Chase. He probably would’ve toned down the violent mafia stuff if he could’ve. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5860307&forum_id=2),#49843814) |

Date: April 26th, 2026 8:21 AM Author: cowgod My favorite episode is probably the dream sequence/pussy’s death arc but iirc the fandom has very low regard for it, as if it’s a Joke. It’s a weird fandom imo. And it’s not in the best State. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5860307&forum_id=2),#49843821) |

Date: April 26th, 2026 7:07 AM Author: OYT and the Indie Reprieve ( ) These shows are not conceived as a finished coherent product, it’s about stringing along subscribers with “what happens next” and throwing empty spectacle at the viewer to disengage him from scrolling TikTok. Billy Bob Thornton has probably not watched a single episode or even daily because he knows it sucks. He probably has insane demands on set that Paramount executives have to begrudgingly accommodate lol. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5860307&forum_id=2),#49843759) |

Date: April 26th, 2026 8:13 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, It's really a bizarre show. I get why people like it because its so unlike anything on TV, but
- the son is so annoying and he gets in the worse situations but then suddenly 20 minutes later they're just okay
- the daughter and wife too also get into hijinx that never has any stakes and then they always prevail because they're good people even though theyre superficial
- Thornton and Andy Garcia always act like they don't like each other but hten they just do deal after deal with each other with no conflict
It's like Yellowstone in that the show looks great, and the actors are pretty likable, but the plot sucks and nothing ever happens that makes sense.

Date: April 26th, 2026 8:44 PM Author: cowgod the son sucks. they just want to give him something to do. him getting with the widow is one of those things you see in drama and is basically one of the tropes sitting in the writers' proverbial parts bin. Sometimes characters just Exist and have nothing to do e.g. Sam Elliot.
the daughter is too hot to criticize imo.
the ex-wife gets too much screentime and is a Joke but that's how these things go, there are proles/Women who have no idea what billy bob is doing but her shit entertains them. Like when she wins $1,000,000k in the casino randomly like it's nbd. It makes prole viewers feel like they have this Cool friend who Wins constantly. and her dinnertime Tantrums remind me of irl prole gtg's.
Billy Bob is similar in a way. High Scumbag. CEO of an oil major somehow knows who he is. Begs him to work for him. Drives to locations that are like 1000k miles away within the span of a workday. He's just a prole who drives around a lot. He's like the Platonic ideal of those proles who drive around constantly. That is the target audience.
I like what Garcia is doing with it. He's better than Jon Hamm was in this and better than other things he's done where he's forgettable af iirc. The "hating each other but then doing shit with no conflict" is an alpha male Businessman thing. So is having enough leverage/power to Destroy someone and then not doing it even if you're a cold blooded killer. The stakes aren't high enough for them to want to do that. Most fans can't follow the Businessy shit either. Proles are used to not knowing wtf is going on. The Business is just a vehicle to create Drama. Maybe next the daughter will get Kidnapped. It's really not that different from a soap opera or something. Especially when proles watch it with Motion Smoothing on, aka the Soap Opera Effect. It's fundamentally The Same. |
