Critics, per Wikipedia
The Sopranos has been hailed by many critics as the greatest and most groundbreaking television series of all time. The writing, acting, and directing have often been singled out for praise. The show has also received considerable attention from critics and journalists for its technical merit, music selections, cinematography, and willingness to deal with difficult and controversial subjects including crime, family, gender roles, mental illness, and American and Italian-American culture. The Sopranos is credited for creating a new era in the mafia genre deviating from the traditional dramatized image of the gangster in favor of a simpler, more accurate reflection of ordinary day-to-day mob…

60 of 331 · most liked firstI've been watching The Sopranos for the first time, and what can I say? If the writing is that good, I'll enjoy even a show about Italian bad guys.
positive · AI labelView post →Tony’s Macaroni (1999-2000): Little macaroni shaped like the "HBO" logo, in a box covered with images of the cast of "The Sopranos". It was released as a promotional item to the media and collectible outlets for the series premiere
neutral · AI labelView post →That's HILARIOUS. And I totally know that scene from The Sopranos. It's my favorite TV show of all-time.
positive · AI labelView post →Just a TV show to this guy and millions of others. They're enjoying season 7 of the Sopranos bsky.app/profile/elad...
neutral · AI labelView post →Damn they weren't wrong when they said Trump does everything with a nod to "Central Casting" I was never much into the show so I have to ask someone who's a fan to tell me which season of The Sopranos this guy was on I want to say the third season but someone please correct me
neutral · AI labelView post →The Stephen Miller discourse is yet more evidence that there are strangely large swaths of Trump World who claim to be fans of "The Sopranos" but somehow missed the thousand instances in the show when the history of anti-Italian discrimination in America is discussed.
neutral · AI labelView post →Mama Soprano’s Gravy (1999-2000): Jarred pasta sauce marketed as the "personal recipe" of Livia Soprano, matriarch on "The Sopranos". Released as a promotional item to media outlets and collectible shops for the series premiere
neutral · AI labelView post →Guy who’s watched 100 TV series: Succession is perhaps the finest TV drama since the Sopranos. Guy who’s watched 1,000 TV series: Cadillacs and Dinosaurs’ series finale was based on a story by Harlan Ellison and written by the defining 1987 Ninja Turtles writer David Wise,
neutral · AI labelView post →People still rag on the Vito in New Hampshire plot on The Sopranos, but for my money it's one of the best arcs in the entire series. A man sees for the first time the possibility of a normal life as his own authentic self, but his greed and laziness drive him to self-destruction.
positive · AI labelView post →I was rewatching the Sopranos and "blackness is a code that gets you undeservedly into elite schools" comes up a couple of times, and not in a way that is challenged by the show. It was a very common assumption among the US upper class in the 1990s already.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Sopranos and imagining with horror the stupid little TikTok videos that they’d have these actors do if the show was being made today. Thinkin about Paulie Walnuts doing the apple dance. Truly fucked up shit. We used to respect artists,,,
neutral · AI labelView post →after 3 months watching it for the first time... 'The Sopranos' ends here. a fantastic series. a simply astonishing ending. I cackled so loudly my partner came in to check I was okay. 10/10 series.
positive · AI labelView post →Back in 2018 I wrote about how THE SOPRANOS remains largely uncontested as the greatest show of all time in large part because it stars people who look like real human beings, allowing audiences to invest more deeply in its stories. Nothing since has really picked up that gauntlet.
positive · AI labelView post →Just heard a fully grown adult say that their parents still tease them because they had to miss the series finale of the Sopranos to be at the hospital for their birth and I was not ready to hear that
neutral · AI labelView post →<dramatic music sting, snake begins slithering across your laptop> 1976's I, CLAUDIUS is a masterpiece of historical drama, a huge influence on The Sopranos & Game of Thrones, and one of the most gleefully nasty dynastic power soaps ever aired. I'm reviewing my way through it for @popheist.com!
neutral · AI labelView post →this is one of the reasons THE SOPRANOS worked so well and feels different than other prestige tv shows by the way. The showrunners NEVER cared about the mechanics of the mafia or any of the crimes/rackets. Not what the show is actually about and so it never wasted time on it.
positive · AI labelView post →At its core, The Sopranos is really a show about gossip. Gossip and the fear of being gossipped about. Gossip on the level of life or death.
neutral · AI labelView post →Get the whole Trump family a new show like The Sopranos but call it The Subpoenas.
neutral · AI labelView post →Favorite book: Long Island Compromise (Taffy Brodesser-Akner) Favorite movie: WISE GUY: David Chase and The Sopranos Favorite TV show: Fallout Favorite podcast: Hard Fork Favorite album: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth OST lol
neutral · AI labelView post →The Sopranos was actually the funniest show of the last 25 years, don’t change my mind
positive · AI labelView post →The Sopranos is a really fantastic show from the jump but it turns into something indescribably special during the Carmela Ant Arc
positive · AI labelView post →The Vito episodes are a microcosm of why The Sopranos writing is so good. The show gives you boundless empathy for a cast of genuinely bad people while never flinching from the harm they cause or the clear, deliberate choices they make.
positive · AI labelView post →excited for my nephew to be born in October, but dreading the year i'll have to wait before i can show him The Sopranos
neutral · AI labelView post →What's beautiful about the television series Dexter is that it's like if there were a million seasons of the Sopranos and everyone in the original cast except Tony was slowly phased out or killed off over time and in every episode Tony was like "am I really... in the mafia?" as he did mafia things
neutral · AI labelView post →Friends at the Table's next full season of Media Club Plus is going to be THE SOPRANOS! I am so excited to listen and watch along with the show for the first time.
neutral · AI labelView post →anyone else up thinking about how Frankie Valli plays Rusty Millio on THE SOPRANOS but Tony makes repeated reference to the real Frankie Valli, whom characters on the show claim they've met in real life, which begs the question: what does their universe's Frankie Valli look like?

It's not perfect the way MAD MEN or THE SOPRANOS is, but it's so wildly ambitious it's hard to believe. www.polygon.com/tv/2019/6/3/...

neutral · AI labelView post →THE SOPRANOS is pretty much uncontested as the greatest show of all time in no small part because it stars WEIRDOS. it is SPECIFIC.
positive · AI labelView post →In many ways, The Sopranos was a show about the Mafia

neutral · AI labelView post →The Canadian tv series Slings & Arrows is WILDLY under-discussed. It’s an all-time great, right up there with shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, I Claudius, Better Call Saul, and The Good Place.
neutral · AI labelView post →I go back and forth between thinking THE SOPRANOS is obviously the greatest television show ever, and going even further and thinking it might be the only great television show ever.
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching the Sopranos for the first time. It’s astonishing how many lines from the show have been integrated into our cultural vocabulary. It’s like a Gabagool Hamlet.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching s1 of the Sopranos and you’re telling me this show invented not just the contemporary antihero but, in the character of Christopher, the pathology of Main Character Syndrome?
positive · AI labelView post →Because this is from Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are *Dead*, and is about acting, this is making me think about the ending of the Sopranos (which I watched yesterday). Cos it’s meta: a “character” sometimes just stops being on stage, on your TV, in a series, in a play. Exit. And that’s death.
neutral · AI labelView post →Actors from the Wire and the Sopranos are ALL over the Law & Order series. There's one episode where weebay gets caught shooting someone, but then implicates Clay Davis who hires Bunk to represent him in court

neutral · AI labelView post →The Sopranos is a show about non binary fashion (loud button ups, track suits, gay little earring)
positive · AI labelView post →I need to revisit Dark, which I think is the most psychologically sophisticated, emotionally affecting, artistically successful "mystery box" show ever. It's like The Sopranos to Lost's Oz.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Sopranos is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen and I truly feel like the media misrepresented the whole thing the show was.
positive · AI labelView post →The Sopranos. An expertly written, wonderfully acted show about a bunch of people I couldn't give a damn about.
