...Carmela finds Tony passed out on the floor (he's had another of his panic-attack blackouts) and he tells her the story. The way Chase handles the scene shows how this series is in a league above anything else on TV.

"Politicians have old fear of being soft on crime. It's a hangover from the drug war heyday of the 1980s." And even today, some politicians still find a willing audience for anti-drug rants, Nadelmann adds.
