I waited until the show was over to join the discussion here.

- I never liked Torturro's casting. I don't even like him as an actor. I hate recasts, because they ruin continuity.

Mark Strong's Falcone is so much better. I just wish they'd made that casting from the get go.

- I also have a question. How the **** did Maroni escape a maximum security prison? On an island? With a severe wound on top of that?

That was really silly.

100% agreed on the Falcone casting

Turturro doesn’t give the menacing vibe that Mark Strong does and which is vital for the character

I felt the difference between the two really emphasized Falcone becoming a weak old man. The Flashback Falcone was something to be feared but after 10 or so years he grew old and maybe a bit soft. That really helped sell the vulnerability of the family after he died and their scramble to replace him.

To some extent yes, but a man who’s killed dozens of women and been responsible for the murders of probably hundreds more should come across as menacing, regardless of his age
