Críticas
Yacowar s perspective and perceptions are very sharp, and he does an excellent job at examining each of the episodes and analyzing how they build into one another. The book is best at dissecting the hidden themes and humor of the show and commenting on how The Sopranos culture is but an extension of our own personal little worlds Readers will find Yacowar s prose captivating, as he analyzes characters and events with the keen eye of a man who knows film and how the great ones are made. Electric Review, 5/7/04 "The Sopranos on the Couch: Analyzing Television's Greatest Series is exactly what the show deserves: an immensely readable, tack-sharp episode guide, written by a rabid fan...Yacowar's structural criticism (...) doesn't miss a trick...Yacowar's book should handily convince non-believers of the show's brilliance, and give fanatics even more to chew on during mandatory re-viewings. It's a fun read" FFWD, 11/28-12/4/02 "After some intriguing background on the hit drama, Yacowar deconstructs three seasons of the show, episode-by-episode, analyzing everything from thematic connections and similarities with the classic Godfather Trilogy to structure, musical score, violence, language, and stereotyping .Yacowar deals with all the questions and complaints and, like Dr. Melfi, gives us plenty to think about?not just regarding those important production values but also about how the series reflects popular culture .Give this to those who want some substance." Booklist "comprehensive examination... diehard fans will surely want it for their collections." Publishers Weekly, 7/1/02 ."..an excellent overview of the series....an excellent guide to individual episodes, with astute commentary about key moments....will confirm your opinion that The Sopranos is clever and compelling." Globe and Mail, 9/21/02
Reseña del editor
Maurice Yacowar believes that "The Sopranos" is the greatest television series ever made. His detailed analysis of every episode in the three-year run of the hit series to date covers everything of interest - from editing and script writing to music, links to other gangster films, and the key role played by David Chase, the creator of the program. The image that emerges from this book is that of a sophisticated postmodern icon of American popular culture, that will continue to attract critical attention for decades to come. If television programming is normally considered a wasteland, then "The Sopranos" may be thought of as a jungle: richly colored, teeming with life, dark with mystery. "Sopranos on the Couch" is for all who are already caught up in the excitement, as well as for viewers who are coming to the show for the first time.
