To be honest, Sopranos wasn't anything complex.
For the time it told a relatively interesting story
it was really well written though, and the characters were deep and complex and resembled actual people. At least in the first seasons.. Most series (in the past and nowadays) are written like garbage to appeal to the most common denominator as quick and cheap as possible
I feel most shows have been pretty good, severance, the bear, for all mankind, chernobyl, sharp objects, at least with HBO and apple shows
I absolutely hated the ending.
I didn't like the ending upon first watch, but found myself thinking about it afterwards and contemplating what may have happened after the screen went black. Had they wrapped it up cleanly it would have been more satisfying at the time but I would not have given it much thought after.
don't stop.
I tried to get into it because of all the praise it has received and was confused about why it received said praise. It tells a story of a bunch of sleaze bags, with king sleaze bag emotionally wounded because of all his sleaze bag actions. Okay... That was already done a dozen times before The Sopranos came along. What's the big deal?
Youre missing the point if that's what you got from it
It's a metaphor about the decline of America. The mob stuff is just window dressing used to tell that story. Just as how the tortoise and the hare isn't actually a story about two animals
I quit watching after about 4 episodes, so I guess I did miss all of that. How long does it take for that to become apparent?
Dude. It's the consensus best show ever for a reason. 4 episodes is ridiculous.
