That is actually part of what made the Sopranos a groundbreaking show. It was one of the first times where the "hero" of the show was actually a bad guy.
If the Sopranos suffers one major issue it is that t was a victim of its own success. David Chase had intended for the show to have a specific arc, but when it became a huge hit HBO talked him into dragging it out for a few more seasons. As a result there are things that were added that likely wouldn't have been there otherwise and they can sometimes cause the show to lose some focus. Still, I think it was a brilliant show and it paved the way for shows like Boardwalk Empire and Breaking Bad.
