It doesn't do wow or twists and turns, it does relatively real life machinations in a Jersey mob sub-family and very real life relationships in an actual family whose father is in "Waste Management".
Brilliantly written, shot and acted. A masterpiece, but a serious piece of work.
Dexter and Prison Break and totally different kinds of drama and far more light, not that that's a bad thing, just different.
Watch the whole thing from start to finish, preferably on DVD in high quality and you may have done yourself a huge favour. If it's not your bag then you've only wasted a few days...
I think it IS the best thing I've seen on US TV, I Claudius is still without peer for me on UK TV. The Wire, Deadwood and Oz are all favourites of mine too.
Thank fuq, however, that we all have differing tastes.
Oh, and there's no apostrophe in Sopranos, it's a plural. Sorry...
