After an iffy episode last week, this past Sunday’s “Sopranos” was one of the best of the year. The Soprano-family backstory installments always get me, and I loved Polly Bergen’s charming-turning-into-creepy turn as Tony’s late father’s mistress. And with “Six Feet Under” borrowing a large subplot (the Ruth/Arthur affair) from “Harold & Maude” last season, it only made sense for “Sopranos” to follow suit and send Junior to a series of funerals of near-strangers.
Also, be sure to check out the weekly roundup of the show in Slate; this time they’ve got an actual writer for the show, Terence Winter, sharing some fascinating insights on the “Sopranos” creative process.
