I've never been a fan of the Carmela/Furio subplot. It came out of nowhere at the beginning of this season and it clearly just existed to give Carmela something to do. Of course you have a bit of that every season, new characters or story arcs that are introduced, often to be wrapped up in the same season, that's just how TV production works. And Furio had been shamefully underutilized in previous seasons after he seemed to get hyped up by the narrative so much when he was first introduced. So I get it from a functional point of view. But still, the whole forbidden romance arc just didn't hit the tone of the show at all for me, so it stood out more. Way too much of a melodramatic soap opera vibe to it. All the stolen glances and pregnant silences between them, it just didn't work for me. They were way too head-over-heels for each other for the small amount they actually talked. Plus, the little we had seen of Furio previously, we had no reason to expect him to be this sensitive heart throb, all we saw from him previously was as a loyal, ruthless enforcer. (spoilers ahead for people watching this for the first time) And in the end, the whole arc didn't really go anywhere. None of them actually made a move in the end, Furio is just gone and that's that. I guess the one thing it did was make Carmela more aware of how insensitive Tony was, leading to the climax in the season finale and their separation arc in season 5. But they already dialed up Tony's insensitivity in this season just to make the contrast even clearer, so at that point, the dalliance with Furio wasn't even really necessary for it to make sense for Carmela to want to leave. I don't know, maybe something more drastic did need to happen for Carmela to make that step, but I just didn't enjoy the option they went with. Honestly, in my opinion, the two-episode arc she had with that other guy, Davey's brother-in-law, was more interesting and achieved more than this whole drawn-out Furio plotline. It made the same point, that while Tony sleeps around a lot, Carmela is not allowed even a fraction of that, and that it's dangerous for the guys that try. But we didn't need a season-long soap opera arc for that point to be made.
