Just Finished The Sopranos...

[bevo_daddy]

I had never watched an episode until I started on the Season 1 DVD about 4 or 5 months ago. Just finished the last episode. What can I say. Excellent series, maybe one of the best. Writing, casting, directing, and acting simply amazing.

My ONLY problem with the series was A.J. I don't like that kid and thought he was useless in the series other than presenting some of the problems that teenagers go through.

As far as the final episode, I knew what happened at the very end because who DIDNT hear about it but still wasn't expecting it when it happened. I like the way it ended...i think... I don't think they could have created an ending that made everyone happy. Maybe a movie down the road?

All in all, hats off to David Chase. Brilliant.

Chase forced AJ on us so that we could have Meadow. I'll take it

I loved the scene in (I think) the last season, when AJs being an *******, and Tony smashes the windshield of his car and them makes him drive it to work like that.

My wife and I are watching from the beginning. I have seen them all but she hasnt. We are starting Season 3 this week and from what I remember its a great one.

Also, I would add The Shield and end the discussion.

I would recommend Dexter. Also while technically not a series definitely watch Generation Kill.

I have seen every episode of the Sopranos as well.

I think Season 1 & 2 are greatness. It was just ok after that. I thought his mom provided the best/most drama and conflict. When she died (in real life), the show took a big nose dive. I believe that was even after Season 3. But that said even if she was in Season 3, Seasons 1 & 2 are easily the best and it wasn't worth watching after that IMHO.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Season 2 of The Sopranos is as close to "art" as TV has ever gotten. An amazing achievement.

I preferred Season One mysefl, followed closely by Two and Five.

Watching all of them at once like that, didn't you feel the Russian mafia storyline just got dropped. I kept expecting him to wrap that up some way.

First 2 seasons were good. The rest always seemed like the actors took over the show and every one demanded some sort of major storyline.
