“The Sopranos,” Christopher
This episode feels more like an essay on the pros and cons of Columbus Day than an episode of television. While it’s noble to bring to light Native Americans’ issues with Columbus Day, the episode does so clumsily. Not only that, Native Americans aren’t depicted sympathetically, and are either depicted as fanatics or corrupt. The opinions the regular characters of “The Sopranos” have on Columbus Day seemed forced and not true to their characters at all. No one comes out well.
