First Person Singular invites you to a "family style" reading of David Chase's pilot script, an episode that by itself caught the malaise of millennial America like nothing else. If you thought you were done with The Sopranos after the series' infamous final scene, we refer you to Silvio Dante's imitation of Michael Corleone, "Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in."
