Not just because he was a revolutionary benchmark that opened the floodgates for some of the medium’s most complex characters, but I would contend he remains the greatest and boldest due to a particular element of his character that the show fearlessly displays, that no other show, even those conceived years after the The Sopranos’ debut, dared to tread. That element is... repugnancy
