* {{Anvilicious}}: If it wasn't already clear before, by Season 6, David Chase really wants you to know that mobsters are not the people you should be rooting for and that the mafia life is not worth it. The mob war between the Soprano crew and the Lupertazzi family claims lives on both sides when they least expect it, which brings the former to ruin. And when they're not fighting each other, they're fighting amongst themselves, resulting in even more deaths. In the meantime, characters like Tony and Christopher have their immorality ramped up as the toxic lifestyle of the mafia continues to enable their worst habits, with them hurting or even killing people who don't deserve it. Though, considering the MisaimedFandom the series developed, as described below, this was likely necessary.

** Tony's constantly-repeated tendency to attack, come onto, scare, and otherwise cross the line with Dr. Melfi. In a real-world scenario, any psychiatrist (or even any other professional) would have dropped Tony very early on in the show for his consistent beyond-the-pale conduct; after the first few times she allows him to come crawling back only to almost immediately put her in the same position yet again, it can start feeling contrived.
