i know it's illegal to critique The Sopranos but why does Edie Falco get like nothing to do in the early seasons (so far). sometimes she's barely in an episode rip

hoping to watch less shows about crime, murder, and cops in 2025...give me a surrealist slow burn gay yearning auteur dramedy or something 😭 the stakes are too damn high. I'll even settle for an emotional family drama, what happened to those!
