Meadow is like all those spoiled rich girls who make fun of how their parents are attached to money and then enjoy that same money. Everything she had, she got it thanks to her father's money, even if over the series she posed as a rebel she never tried to earn something on her own, so you're right she's more hypocritical than her mother, who at least spends Tony's money and endures his betrayals.

You right furio

I mean I'm not surprised she went to defend them.

While she may be spoiled and lived from Tony's money, people seem to forget that when you take everything away, she's still his daughter. Obviously, she's aware of what he does and who's around him, but in that scene, Finn says that they acted like animals, and by extension, he thinks the same of Tony.

If anyone told me the same about my dad I'd lose my shit, and I'm pretty sure 99% of you guys would as well. And it's not without a reason!

Meadow was actually a great character. She had one of the better story arcs which was both relatable for and believable. Her character was one of the most objective and self-aware; she picked up on Tony's involvement in the mob early, was not naive to her place in the pecking order given that AJ was "the son" etc. She was an insufferable teen and woke young adult but seemed to get over that. She even handled her knowledge of Vito's indiscretion with a quiet respectful confidence that would be unusual for her age. Her revelation only came about when two much older women including here mother were engaging in gossip that she herself had stayed out of until she negotiated her own terms to enter the conversation. Meadow was smart (and yes, by seasons 4-6 she was a fucking fox too)

That she was protective/defensive of her family is also laudable; even if she disagreed herself with her family, she did it behind closed doors. Very old school.

She'd have been better suited to the DeMeo Family than AJ, that's for sure. He was a total embarrassment. As a story, he was a great symbol of what the mob has become; that's the future of the mob right there. A chubby, whiny, entitled little bitch.

If I were Tony I'd have let him stay at the bottom of the pool.
