Television The Sopranos

- Start date
I only just watched GoT a couple of weeks ago. Binged all seasons over 8 days.
I did'dint.
This was fantastic. Really enjoyed it.
Holy moly, that's good going!
Always a classic every time you watch it 
Documentary on sky about David chase and the sopranos. Quite interesting.
Shows clips of a people auditioning for the different roles ans makes you think how different the show would have been (presumably for the worse) with different actors.

Watched Wise Guys, the new HBO documentary about the sopranos. The stuff about Gandolfini and how much of a toll playing Tony took on him is very interesting. Might be time for yet another rewatch.
Every time i visit this thread i think - time for a rewatch.
Going to give this another try. It didn't grab me at all the last time I tried
I've been listening to Frankie Valli a lot recently. Watched a few of his gigs on YouTube from the seventies.
It dawned on me he looks like a young Mayor of Munchkinland...
How did I not know that Frankie Valli was Rusty!?

I didn't know either until he was on Talking Sopranos podcast. Came out as an uptight christian fella tbf.
Got to up there as the best pieces of dialogue ever.
Agreed. That and "F#ckin' Rasputin this guy" make it my favourite episode.
The acting on this is simply world class. Main cast down to supporting actors.
I never actually got round to watching this back when I posted this originally. I'm up to S1 E10 at the moment, and I'm liking it so far. I assume it continues to get better and better, because at the moment it's all pretty small stakes storylines, not that that's a bad thing like, I'm still enjoying it.
I'm a few episodes into season 4. First time watching it as well.
Without revealing too much, I think it has stayed pretty much in the same in terms of level of stakes involved. First and foremost, it's a character study of Tony with his two families providing the conflicts and supporting cast. There continues to be these smaller side plots and stories related to side characters.
It's not really like Breaking Bad, for example, where it just continues to rise in intensity throughout. At least not yet.
They added new writers after season 1, which is when the show really took off and never relented for the remaining 5 seasons.
It's not like that. It's not rising to a crecendo all season to a big single moment. Its an epic saga of incredible storytelling with brilliantly formulated characters.
"there's good and there's not good.
this my friend is not good"
this my friend is not good"
It gets a lot better and progressively darker after season 1.
Also, Ralph Cifaretto is literally me.
It's scenes like season 1 where you see Christopher go through paranoia, jealousy, pure joy, insecurity...
Finished season 1, but not moved into S2 yet.
It’s too good. It’ll ruin tv shows for you for a while.
It just grows and grows throughout the seasons.
TWSS
Great scene, such creepy feckers that lot.
It’s time to rewatch. I need the escape
I don’t know what that means.
I finally got round to watching it last year. It makes it into my top 5 favourite series. You can see how much influence it had over other great shows.
I don't know what they were thinking with that awful CGI with Tony's mum after the actress died, though. Such an unnecessary scene.

This is brilliant
