No The Sopranos doesn't make the audience root for the mobsters. It's a show that follows horrible people doing horrible things. There is great writing and very realistic dialog, but that has never tricked me into rooting for Tony or anyone else. Especially if you make it to the last season, I was personally rooting for Tony to get killed.

Yes. Sopranos glorifies a weak-willed bully exacting revenge and exerting control through violence and intimidation.

that coward is the antihero of the show named after him, glorifying his life and his choices. fuck him, his wife and his shitheel buddies, I'm not interested in exalting the sliver of humanity in assholes who choose to hurt, manipulate and exploit others for their own gain.
