Gee I wonder why.

This is THE show that set the benchmark for the modern renaissance of TV. I think I've watched through 3 times, yeah there's parts of the last two seasons that drag a little but the first couple of seasons are absolutely brilliant. The characters are fantastic. I find it's really a show about depression/mental illness with the mob boss character just an interesting canvas for this.
Edie Falco still looking good.
It's been a few years now so I really want to watch this show again, which would be for something like the 11-12th time, who can keep count, but who has the time these days. There's Deadwood to binge through again before the movie comes out, half way through OA so got to finish that, ditto The Vikings. & it's footy season...
I actually enjoyed the final season more than any other. Maybe because it had a more linked plot at least for the first arc after the incident in the previous season's finale.
Christ I can't believe people compared Game of Thrones/The Wire/Breaking Bad to this. Not that those shows are awesome in their own right but this show was on a different tier.
Tony and Carmela's arguments didn't feel like acting at all. So intense.
Yeah agree with this. GoT and BB were essential viewing and excellent television at their best, but only The Wire is deserving of being compared to The Sopranos.Disrespectful to put The Wire alongside GoT and BB IMO. I'm not going to argue on the exact ranking of Sopranos vs Wire but most people and critics have them in the same rung at least. A lot have The Wire above Sopranos in a true ranking. I doubt any critic or many serious TV viewers would have GoT/BB above either The Wire or Sopranos.
The wire is definitely better than Sopranos.
Each to their own though but there were just far more memorable characters for me in the Wire.Constantly have this argument with someone else. His point on The Wire being better is based on the fact it covers all sides of American life and culture through the slow death of a major East coast city. It does cover crime, eudcation, politics, press etc.
The depth of The Sopranos trumps this in my opinion though. One example is the final scene in Holstens that ramps up the tension without really doing anything. Just the bell every time the door opens, the shots of all the different people around. Then there's the dream episodes, the coma and Kevin Finnerty. It's layer upon layer of brilliance.
Could never warm to Breaking Bad and feel bad for it but it just never hit the mark.
