I would have agreed with this article until the last episode I saw, with Sophia in the Arkham asylum. It was a total tone shift. Every Arkham scene was completely cartoonish. I almost turned the show off, but then I cut it some slack, because ultimately these are comic book characters in a comic book setting and I could still imagine an interesting story.
True, but I expect that in a show about a criminal, especially when his name is in the title. I don't expect to see a state institution framed in the way they showed Arkham.
Some lady stabbed herself to death, alright? Why? Because she's crazy, obviously. Crazy people don't work that way, though, not in your standard Sopranos style show.
Remember that scene with that gal who chewed on those pills so her mouth was full of red liquid? Remember those multiple scenes where they tortured Sophia with electroshock, to the point she had visible scars (this is not how electroshock works)? It was all silly AF.
