Is it that twisted? I doubt anyone could out-Lynch > Lynch. No. It's actually not twisted at all, other than it is largely about people who are, at their core, evil - amoral? While some argue that it glorifies crime and The Mob, I think it does quite the opposite. Every time you begin to think Tony Soprano is really a nice cuddly family guy at heart, he let's you know with a look or an action that is really a frightening creature - and the credit for that goes to the real brilliance of previously largely unknown actor James Gandolfini, without whom I doubt there would be a series. No, no David Lynch. Much closer to Martin Scorsesi (sp?) in the burbs of Jersey.... If you have HBO, definitely watch it...I think tonight they do a rerun of last week's two back-to-back episodes, and then tomorrow night you get this week's new hour-long episode. B. D.
