    One of the most terrifying villains in dramatic TV history. Because it's so real and common. Many of my friends have mothers like this. It's scary how much power they weild over these men. A really cruel mother is the worst thing for a boy. They'll never recover. Not really.

      I had a narcissistic grandmother, and an uncaring, narcissistic father. They would tag-team me and my mousy mom. The only time my grandmother would talk to people would be to sharpen her claws. She would call my mom every day about 3 PM and put my mom in such a horrible state of anguish I couldn't stand to be in the same room. Good times.

      Mine is no better. Italian and acts clueless and carung if Im struggling, or vicious and insulting when I'm doung better than her. To everyone else, a poor old woman with a mess of a daughter. Even told the family I was a drunk or drug addict. Single handedly turned everyone against me and I still am amazed at how she managed it. A true manipulative narc. I noticed these traits from her mother. My Nana was verbally vicious to me. She was no help either. It's generational. These women pass it down. Luckily my father kept me the hell way from them growing up.

    At 4:28 you can see her character break for a split second when tony tells her she brought macaroons but then she comes right back on track to being the mean, cruel mother she was. This is even confirmed in a later scene where she asks him to take the macaroons away but leave some "for the lunatics" and then eyes them the entire time while Tony is pouring them onto the tray. Amazing acting.

    2:09-2:11 is such a masterclass of acting and directing! Love how this scene feels so real as they all just stare at Tony in varying states of confusion and/or horror before reacting! Most movies/TV shows have characters instantly react when another one falls down, faints, etc. but this is like real life where it takes a few seconds to process and then move. I also love how Livia continues to try and bring the attention back to her even as Tony is laying on the floor, acting all overdramatic lol! Also, at 9:40 when she complains about Junior not knocking--"I could've been in the nude!"--I think it would have been hilarious if Junior responded, "Yeah, just like in the old days."

My 2 sisters are exactly like Tony's too.

    The scene after her funeral in Tony's house is probably the most fulfilling moment in the show for me. By the time Carmella's dad is loosing his shit and says what everyone thinks in this room is such an amazing moment bc we as the viewer feel just like them. She literally ruined their lives (and therefore our experience watching them) with her existence. Truly amazing performance!

    Liv is so PAINFULLY well written and acted. I keep finding myself forgetting she's a character and getting angry at her. I grew up with a mother and grandmother who were also extremely narcissistic, so the little things liv does resonate so hard. For example, livia makes a big huff about going to an assisted living home to the point where tony has a heart attack, and then when Janice offers to take her home, she says she likes the nursing home. CLASSIC bpd.

    Janice is often the butt of the joke in the series, but her reaction to Livia's remark at 15:43... Aida Turturro doesn't get enough credit for her acting.
    It's funny: I started watching _The Sopranos_ because I heard it was a great series about an Italian-American mobster, but the more I revisit it, the less I care about the mafia angle. This is a family drama through and through - one of the best ever committed to the screen.

      I agree with you on Janice. As irritating as she was, that shot of her looking forlorn and heartbroken stuck with me. You really feel her despair. It's sad that there are parents out there like Livia Soprano.

    @CharlieApples 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    In a show full of terrifying narcissists and psychopaths, Livia Soprano is by far the scariest one. Nearly every other character has at least _some_ warmth for someone or something in their hearts, some kind of human vulnerability or Achille’s Heel. But Livia is a stone cold manipulator with ice in her veins, and she gets what she wants…or someone else dies trying.

  • @AerYdmyg

    When Melfi turns around in Tony’s dream and it’s Livia had me rolling laughing😂
    Then the episode where Tony has his near-Death Experience, Buscemi tells him “You’re Going Home” and out of nowhere a familiar older woman’s silhouette wearing a mourning veil appears in the doorway as if she was always there, but as Tony walks forward She walks into the Funeral(Livia’s=Satan and the “Kevin Finerty Reunion”/Infinity Reunion/Final Resting Place=Hell.) By the time Tony has his near death experience in the show, the actress for Livia had passed away, so to “see her” again and again in these dream sequences is both kinda spooky but also really awesome
