TVC 670.5: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with Ray Richmond, author of The Sopranos: The Complete Visual History, a twenty-fifth anniversary celebration of the multi-Emmy Award-winning drama that not only broke new ground in television when it premiered in 1999, but launched the current Golden Age of dramatic television on cable and digital platforms, while also taking the concept of anti-hero as TV protagonist to an entirely different level. Topics this segment include how series creator David Chase originally based The Sopranos on his relationship with his mother; the controversial ending of the series in 2007; and why The Sopranos, at its heart, is a series about family. The Sopranos: The Complete Visual History is available wherever books are sold through Insight Editions.
