The two characters on the most hated characters list from the Sopranos are absolutely supposed to be disliked though. Skylar isn’t supposed to be disliked.
I love their characters though, but they’re so realistic that I can’t help but hating them lmao.

Yes this is very accurate, culture war bullshit really ramped up over the years. That's not to say that women didn't get treated like crap in the mid 2000s but there were less rabid incels online that made hating women their entire personality.

When Tony says he'll catch a bullet in the back of the head if anyone finds out he's in therapy, it has nothing to do with it being the 90's or psychiatry being taboo, it's the business he's in. The whole thing about the mafia is keeping your mouth shut, having someone talk about the stuff they do to a therapist isn't something that anyone in that world will take lightly, no matter the year.

100%. you could probably do a whole video essay about how the culture actually got worse after Sopranos, like the slow rise of right wing anti-progressive media commentary folks that boosted the Skyler hate train during peak BB

If you had voted for Barry, you wouldn't have to adjust the framerate for the full reaction every time :D

For Sync Issues:
Just like with The Wire, for the people having sync issues due to the differences between US and Europe frame rates, here's a solution:
1. Open their video in vimeo instead of playing it directly on Patreon (just click the video title)
2. In Chrome, press F12 to open the Dev tools
3. Click the Console tab
4. Paste the following command and press Enter:
document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 0.9591;
5. You'll know this worked if the console then displays 0.9591. This will make LM's video speed match the episode. You can close the Dev Tools panel, you don't need to keep it open. You'll have to run that command for every video.
(Thanks to ODIS for posting this in the other thread)

Adore Carmela and Meadow!! There is absolutely misogyny in the fandom but it’s nowehere near Breaking Bad levels (Skylar’s actress Anna Gunn received death threats SMFH)
That Reddit list was gross, there are characters in Sopranos substantially worse than the two women featured on it
Excited, The Wire discussions were really thoughtful

Thanks. I knew I wrote this but couldn't remember on which video.

Copy and pasted from @Damien Fenton from The Wire "For the people having sync issues due to the differences between US and Europe frame rates, I found an easy solution:

6. In theory this should work with other browsers but I haven't tested it."

You gotta download the reaction & play it at a slightly slower speed like .97. Easy to do if you use VLC as the speed option is visible in the lower right side I think.

The worst part of the wire reactions was syncing that up.

I haven't watched this show since its initial airing and I've been meaning to rewatch it for years. This is the perfect opportunity. Thanks LM. Looking forward to rediscovering this series along with your reactions.

So this appears to be like The Wire where it plays at 24 fps or whatever the eu standard is compared to na, so their copy might run slightly faster than yours at home. No problem for me as my copy is like theirs, but I think people in the old wire reactions had a hack that someone might want to mention to help others sync up properly
