Ugh, and Tonys mom.  I can't believe I forgot about her.   If I ever get that unbearable I hope my kids just put me out of my misery.

She was based on David Chase's own mother.

I liked the ending.  Really the only way it could end, given who the writer was.

One of the Strippers at the Bing was a tranny, Chase said he got a kick out of the thought that dudes at home are googling over the stripper scenes and they'd never know they just checked out a tranny.

Best scene was when

My wife and I switch off picking TV series to watch together.  Nothing on TV interests me anymore, so I tried getting away with AvE.

After describing him as "the Australian guy that talks about his dick" she shut it down.  So still being my turn I picked The Sopranos because I like mafia movies and I've never seen any of it before.

So far it's good (we're around episode 7 of season 1).  I like the AK Tonys wife keeps stashed for home invaders.  The psychologist annoys me a lot for some reason.  I am genuinely interested in learning more about the Mafia's decline.  Did they really just start rolling over on each other?  Tougher laws?

So far that's true.  It didn't show up when they boxed up all their guns for storage at Tonys moms either.

I didn't even know about the series because I'd dumped cable for all the leftist garbage.  Guys at work were talking about it and I like mafia movies. One if the guts had some box sets. Ended up watching the whole series over a span of a few years.

Actually, some of favorite parts were where the crew was just hanging out, playing cards, reenacting old Godfather scenes and busting each other.  I often wondered what real mob guys thought of mafia movies. :) Guess I still don't know.

I thought she looked kinda skanky.  There were dozens of women on the show I thought were more attractive.

I started watching the Sopranos back when the shows were live so I didn't see how the show started but I liked it and watched up until the horrible ending... which was so horrible I vowed never to watch another episode ever again... and I've kept that vow.

My suggestion is to skip the final episode.

OP, keep in mind. The show was never just a crime drama. It was really a dark comedy. The gangster's worldview. The stupid decisions. The rationales. And it really makes fun of the typical NJ Italians idea of style and taste. Tony shopping at Fountain's of Wayne was great. Paulie explaining snakes. All of their relationships with their mothers.......

It's also just a slice of life here and their from their world. Unlike a lot of series where they telegraph stuff ages out, sometimes something will happen or they will introduce a new character that you might think will pay off later and never be mentioned again. Some things continue episode after episode and others come and go.

And the ending is great and if you pay attention pays off.  It's the only ending the series could have.

Also, there's an HBO movie called Gotti that is like a dry run for the Sopranos. Features a ton of the same actors (different roles of course). Seeing Junior tell John Gotti he's fucking it all up is worth the price of admission alone.

I always felt that “The Sopranos “ was a show that was less than the sum of its parts.

Some good writing and fantastic acting, but waaayyy too many episodes where nothing happens.

More than once, they’d say, “Stayed tuned for scenes from next week’s season finale...” and I’d think to myself,

The season’s over? But nothing happened!

I go back and watch episodes here and there, but I’d never sit and watch the entire run again.

Exactly. I loved the show when they actually did mob stuff but the ton of pointless episodes got kinda old. Never finished it and got to like season 7. I usually had it playing in the background when I was doing other stuff

Well, at some point in the show - few seasons deep - Tony's shrink Dr. Melfi actually explains what a Cuck is or to cuckold.
That might be a help to quite a few here in GD.

OP enjoy the show.  There are some characters that you'll literally want to reach through the TV and strangle.  And like any long running series there are story arcs that suck.  (The whole Johnny Cakes thing is f'n stupid, imo. )  But overall, it's a fantastic series and well worth the entertainment value.

when got is done, the writers should do aberchrombie's shattered seas series, one book per season, it would be a slam dunk.. its perfect for the hbo format.

eta .. 'the night of' was also a good short series.
