 Matt Feeney on Sopranos on National Review Online
From the beginning, critics have referred to Tony as a sociopath, suggesting that he simply lacks the psychological armature to be a moral person — that he lacks human sympathy, is numb to conscience.
Tony is capable of moral feelings, but, because of the choices he has made, he is forced to displace those feelings onto objects that are not implicated in the world he has made for himself, symbols of innocence, like children and animals.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | Tony Soprano's female trouble
The first scene of David Chase's audacious HBO TV series, "The Sopranos," carried a different message: We saw the virile James Gandolfini, curious and apprehensive, shot from between the thighs of a nude bronze female statue.
Tony Soprano was born from between the legs of his vindictive, joyless mother, Livia; and he was caught, when the series opened, in the vise of several other women as well -- his dissatisfied wife, Carmela; his increasingly disdainful daughter, Meadow; his volatile 24-year-old Russian girlfriend, Irina; and his rather unconventional shrink, Dr. Melfi.
The joy of "The Sopranos" is the furious pace of the storytelling, its shotgun approach to narrative, its carefully doled-out violence.
