Seriously tho what an overrated show.

Seriously tho you're fucking high.

Fuck you Feech it's fucking parking.
being overrated and also one of the best shows ever i don't think is mutually exclusive in this case
it had it's low points, but the sopranos were as good as the best of them when they brought their a-game
and i was confused when i first read the thread because i thought it was about the wire because of the remastered marathon that just ended so i'm gonna try to tie this thing into a nice little bow by seguing into this
mcnulty=the sopranos

You guys have to remember when you the sopranos came out there was not a series on cable like that before..a weekly series that was gritty. After that then came game of thrones , ray Donovan, nurse jakie, falling skies, it spawned a A WHOLE NEW CALIBER OF WEEKLY SERIES..with better stars and writing. Ever since then broadcast t.v is trying to catch up.
season 4 sopranos teeters on the verge of being the greatest thing ever then tips over with that final fight
Sopranos was A+ amazing
Your right about oz..I dont Evan watch broadcast t.v..the writing and acting,production values and story lines blow away everything else..its actually the only thing keeping people paying..the suits were ahead of the curve for once.
JK Simmons as Vern Shillinger is GOD.
Any show that gets jizzed over as much as Sopranos is overrated. I think you needed the family interaction with Tony, but Sonatine is right about Carmela and the kids. That shit slowed the show down a lot when they followed the family without Tony around. But, it was still pretty great.
I didn't like Mad Men too much. It's great to look at, for sure, and it's well acted. It's just a beautiful soap opera to me. Advertising just isn't as compelling as meth cook, mafioso or urban drug scene.
And I think Justified is better than Boardwalk and Homeland. Homeland is garbage after season 2. I tried and gave up on season 3. I have a tough time with Boardwalk, so many great players and great sets, and it always comes up short.
The Wire has some dead air but its overall a great show. Solid acting, very good writing. Why would I shit on it?
The Sopranos top dogs, on the other hand, realized quickly that it was going to be a juggernaught so they started a well documented terror campaign against the writers where anyone who refused to water down the plot lines and stretch the show out to a point where it just barely retained mass appeal was terminated, and total hack flunkies were brought in to replace them.
ISNT THAT RIGHT, CARMELLA IN ITALY?
