I usually put off watching The Sopranos as there’s a lot of it to get thru but after many suggestions from buddies I chose to commit to it and buy the box set over Xmas as it had been reduced down to £60! After the 1st episode I was hooked. It gets off to a little bit of a slow start but it is a perfect intro to the characters and sets the tone for the remainder of the show.
I was ready to breeze thru series one – five over the Xmas period and start of the year because there was a hell of lots of snow where I live and I was snowed out of work for 2 weeks! I watched such a lot that at night I’d dream that I was Tony Soprano or in any particular situation I’d always think how one of the Sopranos would handle it!
After watching the entire thing in just below a month, after it finished I felt cold and empty that I did not have any more to observe! It’s the most immersive and pressing Television show I’ve ever studied. The dialogue is gritty and practical, you sympathise with many of the characters yet you may be totally troubled by their behaviour infrequently and the soundtrack is ideal! If you are keen on wise guy films and even if you are not I would like to suggest this Television series to you as it does not just handle the lives and petty crimes of mobsters from North Jersey.
It covers their family lives, their inclusion with gigantic business, construction and waste product control as well as the ever developing interpersonal relations as the characters become increasingly complicated.
I would really recommend buying the first series, see how you feel about it and I’m sure you’ll end up with the whole collection.
