Pussy getting whacked in season 2 was huge, but totally expected, we just didn't know how. Jackie Jr. getting whacked in season 3 was no big deal. He wasn't a major character and was offered the least amount of risk. Season 4, the Soprano family gets whacked. Very major. The biggest thing, outside of Tony getting whacked, that could happen.

The show is called The Sopranos.

I've never experienced a divorce personally but have been close to two of them and they captured the mood and feeling perfectly.
