‘Sopranos’ Alum Blasts Trigger Warnings

For Edie Falco, who won three Emmys playing mob wife Carmela Soprano, the show forced audiences to process some uncomfortable truths about human nature.

That’s why it became a TV classic, a series that transformed HBO into a content powerhouse.

Now, in an age of woke storytelling and “trigger warnings,” the show’s seedy side might not be possible. The main characters could be charming, funny and sweet. They also killed without mercy, giving rise to pop culture’s anti-hero movement.

Sugar coating their immoral behavior would be a mistake, Falco and fellow “Sopranos” members say. Deploying trigger warnings before the show would be even worse, the actress added.
