[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems dated to me. Much like SATC. Entertaining, but very much a relic of the past.[/quote]

Be honest.  Are you under 28? Do you believe that all new entertainment should feature a proportion of POC exactly reflecting the US of this moment -- even though Jefferson or Hamlet or Tony Soprano or Mary Poppins wouldn't have interacted with a South Asian person in their lifetime?

If so, stick with the reboots. Let the rest of us accept that neither central Jersey or Sicily would have had any trans Latinx/Black people in the family in 1999.[/quote]

Tony Soprano had a meeting and ate at an Indian restaurant.
Tony also loves Chinese takeout (orange peel beef specifically), as well as he and Carm's special place was a sushi place.
Tony B went into to business with a Korean immigrant.

So there are POC where appropriate... the show takes place in suburban NJ and NYC... so reflects their realities.[/quote]

He also did business with Jews and Arabs and Hispanics. It’s very indicative of NJ and what Italians say about each group (including Sicilians!)

Italians take lots of pride in doing  crime  quietly  and not doing “random crime” .[/quote]
