The Sopranos: Camo & Friends
 
Yeah, i'd love to discuss this with Christine and Tacitus so just so they know i wasn't kidding :p. So anyone talk about The Sopranos in here and if you haven't seen it yet i may be able to convince Tacitus to ban you on trumped up charges.

It's better than The Shield. Hopefully you persuade the missus ;)

I wish they were able to do one more episode or movie before Gandolfini died. There simply will never be any replacing him.

In all honesty, I prefer Tony Soprano over any other mobster performance done by anyone ever. Not even Joe Pescis Tommy from Goodfellas could compare, or any DeNiro mobster performance. Gandolfini was able to intimidate you and amuse you all at the same time. Think Sonny Corleone with a splash of Henry Hill, an everyman.

Maybe if I give this series a chance of 20 episodes I will actually like it by then. It seems so popular everywhere, but what I saw was never worth my time except one of two episodes.

I don't think you'll ever like it MM mate. That's fine, just don't think you should watch it more, unless you actually want to **** on it.

It seems like a show I'd like though tbh. Gondolfini is great in it. But from what I've seen it comes off as a cheap and sometimes satirical rip-off of better mob dramas. I haven't seen nearly enough to sh*ttalk it in detail or with complete confidence, but that's just my observation...

I'm still willing to give it another shot some time in the future.

It does get better after season 1 and continue that pattern but if you didnt like it what you saw, its just not gonna be your cup of tea. :shrug:

MMs not the first to say it, and Ive spoke to people that dont like ANY mobster/mafia themed films/series at all. Can you believe that? Prejudiced against italians. ;)

One of the best shows I've ever seen. It's a masterpiece.

Real Sopranos start with season 2. It has 4 great seasons. Then it goes a bit downhill by season 6.

season 6 I remember mainly being a bunch of stand-alone episodes, very disjointed. Thats probably why they stopped it because they simply didnt have another large story-arc to tell.

Is this an attempt to get more people to vote for The Sopranos in the TV Tournament? haha

Sopranos was a game changer for TV drama. Before that it was basically Miami Vice and Knott's Landing.

WARNING: "The Sopranos" spoilers below
And the good British stuff like I Claudius, Edge of Darkness, Tutti Frutti, Triangle and GBH

If this is your impression you need to give it another chance. Where does that even come from?

Rip off of what better mod-dramas? Think me, c, and t agree that they usually do that thing better than us,

The news here is pretty underrated though
