The Sopranos 2x4 “Commendatori” | First Time Reaction

Patreon for Watch Alongs and Early Access:   / diegesistv   Arianna and Maple continue Season 2 of The Sopranos with “Commendatori,” a standout episode that takes Tony, Paulie, and Christopher to Italy in search of business opportunities — only to confront culture shock, myth vs. reality, and their own disconnection from the roots they romanticize. Tony’s attempt to build international ties exposes tensions in the crew and cracks in his own leadership. Paulie’s wide-eyed enthusiasm crashes against harsh truth, and Christopher spirals deeper into withdrawal and frustration. Meanwhile, Carmela’s emotional conflict intensifies at home, reminding us that absence doesn’t erase the problems festering in the Soprano family. Quiet, funny, and deeply introspective, “Commendatori” explores identity, power, culture, and the uncomfortable gap between who these men think they are and what the world actually sees — and Arianna and Maple are experiencing every beat of it for the first time.
