One of the episodes he wrote was the one in which Carmella went to see a shrink on her own. The shrink, instead of taking the neutral line, tells her she's not merely an enabler, but is complicit in Tony's crimes, and she should take the kids & leave right away. Of course she goes right back to Tony. Some of the critics read this as addressed to the audience - you too are complicit by watching. The creators of the show didn't mean it that way, but apparently a lot of people took it that way.

Uh oh.........It sounds so......familiar............
