THE CONCEPT:
THE
SOPRANOS is the most accurate representation of psychotherapy
ever depicted in a dramatic medium. This underlying structure is an
important element in giving the series its epic feel, and offers
viewers the chance to engage in some armchair analysis. Perhaps THE
SOPRANOS' greatest achievement is marrying art and psychiatry in a
culture addicted to putting itself and its public figures on the
couch...
Tony's
therapist, Dr. Melfi (played with brilliant modulation by Lorraine
Bracco), is no enabler. She's a surrogate narrator; her sessions
clarify the story and muddle it, through Tony's alternating
breakthroughs and self-deceptions. She's an audience surrogate, an
outsider torn between sympathy and disgust for Tony.
