NONE of the main charters deserved any sympathy - or even to be liked at all.

I just accepted that, and let Quentin take me on a ride.

But only the stagecoach driver, or the staff of Minnie's in flashbacks were characters that had any redeeming qualities - ALL of the others were wholly "bad."

I've heard this criticism of the Sopranos too - and I feel the same way - all the main characters were "bad."
