We’re fascinated with Carmela Soprano. We know she’s guilty, but we want to know just how guilty, and how she reconciles that guilt with her perfect-seeming suburban mom life. The more we look at Carmela, we see she has multiple complex layers – and she uses these layers of herself to suppress and control her guilt in order to function. So we’re peeling back these many layers to reveal the truth that lies underneath: living a life of complicity and denial is just as destructive as living a life of crime.
