[@meshiu2344]

That was all fabrication. Michael has stated in pervious covers about the Sopranos that, that is not true and the Don or the boss can basically wear what he wants. And the original story was it was in a shop someone told James that.

I think he kept him out because Silvio’s character as far as casting was like a spoof of a typical wiseguy. Silvio was a terrible actor and played the role horribly, like I said I don’t know if that was intended by chase or not, but luckily he was surrounded by great actors and everyone kinda just laughs it out or ignores his acting.

[@BigD-jc6rj]

I agree that the psychiatrist's presence was unrealistic, but her role in the story is a window into Tony's character. She is necessary as a literary device. If it were a book, instead of a TV series, she would likely not be in the story. In a book, you can read about a character's innermost thoughts (first person, omniscient, or 3rd person limited). In a movie, you can only develop a character by what he says, what he does, and what others say about him. Since it is television, we only know the thoughts he talks about, and he would only discuss his insecurities and vulnerabilities with a psychiatrist. He would not discuss any such thing with his fellow mobsters, or even his own family.

[@CTuna-uo3pq]

Well said.

[@dk0139]

Even more so, if the show was narrated instead of him seeing someone to let the thoughts out, it would pull from the character of Tony. Chase could’ve written the show with the exclusion of Melfi in the regard that he was just narrating to an audience, but that is so unlike his character that it would seem unnatural. I don’t think Chase strived for it to be the most accurate depiction of a mafioso family, but with the inclusion of a psychiatrist, it helped ground Tony’s issues to where instead of speaking to the psychiatrist, you kind of feel like he’s talking to you about his issues, especially within the first season of the show.

[@burakdemirbulakli9254]

Melfi represented the audience and the therapy sessions was Tony talking about his life directly to the audience, giving us insight on how he thinks during the scenes. Melfi’s therapist represents the creator, David Chase. Her therapy sessions represents the creator talking to the audience about how we perceive Tony and how we wanna glorify and see him succeed even tho he is so evil.

[@robertmielke3380]

Initially yes during the run of the show the shrink played well, but in reruns or the box set I have, I fast forward through the shrink scenes. They didn't age well and become a distraction from the drama and comedy.

[@Jackson...]

​@@robertmielke3380 Fast forwarding through them is a good idea on rewatchws, but I think they've aged great.

I think the idea of Tony seeing a psychiatrist was a mechanic that added to the tension and was compelling because we are all watching wondering how he is going to avoid telling anything that could be too revealing to that life. And then that became a big deal later with Braco’s character defending doctor-client privilege and how she was caught over her own loyalty to these two different groups. Also how these well educated psychiatrists and family were then seen to be arrogant and saw Tony’s case as an amusement to them, and we are left feeling more sympathy for Tony, or at least questioning: who are the good guys? Are we all just as bad,as flawed as each other or just the same, really?
