I remember at the time people were like "what happened? We don't know!". It's really obvious what happens. People just didn't want to admit it.

I can’t understand people being disappointed. It’s terrific right through. Like Terrific seaside rock.

I get what you're saying but it finished 12 years ago.

Like a fine Carbonara with all the elements balanced perfectly
who is the cream, and who is the bacon, tho? that is the eternal question at the heart of it really

While Sopranos is never less than great I think there are some dips over it's run.
My main problem with series 4 is there's a Livia shaped hole in the story. Livia Soprano is my favourite character in all TV and her relationship with Tony is a big part of the first three series. I don't think they found anything to replace that element of the story in that series and it felt like something was lacking.
Then in some of the episodes in series 6 I found there were some clunky plot contrivances to make the stories that the show's creaters wanted to tell work, especially around emphasising the negative aspects of Tony's character.
Like the episode where Tony's gambling problem runs out of control revealing him to be a massive hypocrite and a bigger cunt to Hersh. But.. wait... gambling problem??? Where did that come from? Sure, he liked cards and hanging out at casinos, but it had never been hinted he had a gambling problem before and after the episode finished it was never referred to again.
Or when he goes to Las Vegas, revealing himself to be a selfish prick and hypocrite after he killed Chris. He goes to tell Chris' improbably beautiful ex, who'd been really close to Chris, about him dying and... wait a second... where did she come from? How come she'd never been mentioned in the previous 6 years if she was so close to Chris? When was she close to him? Of course, being improbably beautiful she falls straight into bed with Tony, who happlily takes drugs with her, which he'd always wanted to, even though that had never been suggested before.
Things like that were the kind of thing that the show hadn't done before. None of which takes away from the overall awesomeness of the show. And that ending was perfect.

I loved watching the ending with the fella. I didn't move a muscle for a good minute after it finished, didn't look at him, nowt. He was in shock
I had to let him understand it was actually over So glad you enjoyed it Mr.Bishie
I'd give it a few months before watching it again. But deffo do that, cos there WILL be stuff you missed first time around, and tbh, it's just so fucking well written, it's an absolute joy to watch again.

I've started rewatching it and just finished the first series. It's brilliant but the only thing that grates is Dr Melfi. She is such a bad fucking therapist.
True, but... she is so far removed in both character and intellect from Tony's friends and acquaintances that she is believable in that he doesn't know any better and takes her at face value.
On second watch, yes she is the weak link.
Do not diss Dr Melfi!! I have a longstanding huuuuuge crush on herI've started rewatching it and just finished the first series. It's brilliant but the only thing that grates is Dr Melfi. She is such a bad fucking therapist.

Maybe hint that you're going to have loads of people killed and that you're a mob boss.Do not diss Dr Melfi!! I have a longstanding huuuuuge crush on her
Don't worry, her patient doctor confidentiality means she can't tell anybody despite her telling him in the first episode that is exactly what she would have to do.
I seem to remember she discusses this with her supervisor later on so maybe I just haven't got to that bit yet.

I’ve only recently managed to start watching The Sopranos, after being fully aware fo ages of its cult following but never having managed to before. NowTV does have its uses 
Midway through S2 at the moment. Not going to read the thread in full until I finish it, as I wouldn’t expect people to still use spoiler tags two decades after its inception. But just coming to say it’s very good indeed. Wouldn’t necessarily say yet it’s the GOAT, but certainly one of the all-time greats for me already.
Mama Soprano is perfectly odious isn’t she?
