Season three picks up with Tony still pissed off and wondering why he should keep living. His maturation and eventual acceptance that life is worth living brings a tear to the eye and still slips in jokes and observations that make viewing well worth your time.

They should taste the bitterness of betrayal, the sweetness of love, the tang of the sea salt air. This immersive experience hinges on several...
