Season 1 (and, for the most part, season 2, as well) would go on to be as consistently close to brilliant as possible. With the aforementioned 'College,' audiences got a glimpse of what the series would ultimately ask of them: To love and root for a character undeserving of such sentiment. Tony was a cold-blooded murderer, a man of multitudes and contradictions who was capable of truly despicable things. And yet there was genuine warmth in his character that proved difficult to ignore. Much of that is due to Gandolfini's inspired performance that would see him carousing with the likes of Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri (Tony Sirico), Silvio Dante (Steve Van Zandt), or battling it out with his uncle, the desperate-to-a-Don Corrado 'Junior' Soprano one minute, then having a family dinner with Meadow (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) and AJ (Robert Iler) the next.
