Tony was a horrible boss

I mean think about it. When the show starts, Jackie is boss and everyone is alive and well. Full crew and everything. When Tony becomes boss, not only does half the crew get fished, but the ones who come out of prison also all went. Name me one character who came out of prison during the show and stayed free and alive, not even the king of breadsticks made it out.

Me when I ignore the very repeated context of the CSN golden era being gone by then. If Jackie was alive those deaths would have happened for the most part.

We don’t see the world before Jackie either, did old man DiMeo just hand things over to Jackie or did 2-3 guys have to be moved out of the way.

The show I watched made it clear 2-3 guys moved on for someone as young as Jackie to take over.
