An interesting episode about sons and chafing at the lives their father figures have thrust them into. Chris finds out that being a made man is tougher than he expected and seems to have reluctance about it despite his initial excitement once he sees the black bird. Jackie Aprille Jr. is trying to live up to his father and uncle's role and chafing at Tony and his organization.
And then Tony himself connects his fainting issues to seeing how his father made a living, and it's a big bundle of the meat, the violence, and sexualization. And then when AJ feels like he's being groomed for the same kind of life as his father, and gets leadership through violence while he's cheered on by his dad, he faints too. There's a lot of interesting parallels in the episode and it works well as a sort of sequel to Season 1's "Down Neck" that plays in the same theme of generational neglect and inherited problems.
Watched on Max. I found it a little bit ridiculous, but also it talks a lot about the racism among Italian Americans, and how the new generation (millennials) become brainwashed by the leftist college indoctrination of anti-racism, feminism and hedonism. Very well deserved to Tony for sending her daughter to college.
Meadow is truly an ungrateful fuck!
