Topic	Is The Sopranos a comedy?

They get away with murder easier, but RICO is an enormous threat and has all but annihilated the mafia in ways they didn't have to worry about in the 60s. Like, in the 60s the made men could waltz into high end restaurants and clubs. In Sopranos, you get free slices of pizza at a friendly parlor. IRL, the mob barely murders anyone anymore since they can't survive any more FBI scrutiny. Sopranos is a little more kill happy, but they're usually good in how they get away with it Right. That's why I put sort of. The mob in the show seems to have more influence along to the mob in their prime too and can get away with more stuff. They still did their fair share of fine dining. Still, you'd figure with some of the murders the feds wouldn't be waiting for a RICO level case. If I remember right the last known mob hit was 2010-2012-ish. I've heard in some of the smaller non-NYC cities some of the OC departments have been shut down. I wonder though that now that the FBI are focusing on other groups that the mob could bounce back a bit. They'll never reach the heights they used to be of course, but I still wouldn't count them completely out. --- Fix your hearts or die.
