Mawkish and self-pitying sound like pretty strange descriptors for the show. To each hir own, I guess.
I just find Tony full of self-pity. And self-pity that Chase wants the audience to identify with and valorize.
There was so much ambivalence in everything about the show, including
Tony and our reaction to him, than anything I’ve ever seen on TV
before. He’s a murderous scumbag, he’s a charmer; he’s cold and
ruthless, he’s sentimental and tender; he’s sexy, he’s repulsive;
etc. We must have been watching different shows.
