THE SOPRANOS - Season 1.12 - ISABELLA

Tony becomes smitten by an Italian beauty named Isabella who's staying at his neighbor's house.  She offers a glimpse into a peaceful world that he longs for.  An uncomplicated life.  She's a woman that still dries her freshly washed clothes the old-fashion way - outdoors on a line. 

This illusion though is quickly shatters at Junior's hit on Tony goes down.  Tony thwarts the two assassins however and for the first time in awhile, feels alive.  It's here that we realize, Tony may long for a simpler life but he was born to live this one.  He actually enjoys the assassination attempt, laughing as he narrowly escapes the hit.  He gets his juices flowing.  This is a man that embraces violence.

David Chase has created a detailed series full of complex characters.  Even the Priest is a schemer, out for his own gains. 

Tony's mother is manipulative to her core.  She now fakes senility, always knowing how to play another card.

Highly entertaining.
