I think we get the same levels of hero worshipping by some of the same people who do that with say, Walter White. Some people will only ever absorb the white male power fantasy and not see the full picture of what the show's intent is.

But I think The Sopranos overall doesn't really go for the "narratively neutral" approach where there could be a level of plausible denial that the audience is supposed to take Tony's side because here are the excuses he uses on himself to claim he is still the "good guy" or the "antihero".

The show goes in firm and clear: "Tony does bad things and blames it on everything else to not hold himself accountable and because this is the life he chose, his life will not end well. He won't even see it coming because he doesn't ever know when he might get whacked."

Very sharp for the last scene to be at a family dinner to remind you that Tony's claim of doing what he does for his family yet he and his family are never truly safe.

And I think most audiences can agree that by show's end we know Tony deserved what will come to him.
