I recently started watching The Sopranos™. I'm on season 2. I can't tell if it's good or not. Some parts I really enjoy and some parts are literally the worst thing that's ever happened to me. how do you feel about The Sopranos ™?

does it get better?

does it get worse?

did you enjoy watching it?

I thought it was good. Watched it when it was new and this was a vibrant forum with game day threads too which might skewer my perception.

It's actually probably the best show ever made. I mean it's not star trek sir goon, but it is good.

I love sopranos, but then theres so many scenes that are dumb as gently caress

like all the caracters that arent part of tonys fam are pretty much paper thin stereotypes of black ppl/intelectuals/whatevs

The gay stuff series 4 or whenever was the most stupid, ridiculous stuff ever.

Apart from that, my second favourite show after the wire.

Sopranos is basically a love letter to Martin Scorsese and other mob movies, and it suffers for it. I rewatched it with my girlfriend a few months ago (she ended up losing interest around the homosexual sub plot and we stopped) and it is amazing how bad many scenes in the first season are, especially the first few episodes.

Tony interacting with his family is the only redeeming part of this show.

Sopranos fans are pretty bad too, notable in the Sopranos Wiki where they have a Kill Count for each episode.

theres some bad stuff in the first couple seasons. the episode where they insert livia via cgi is dumb. it's really good though. keep watching.

i think it does get better with time. the characters change, especially the kids getting older. story arcs become very big with events in early seasons spanning their effects across the entire show

it's def one of the best shows, hope you enjoy it op

watching a lot of daily show clips from the last 20 years this month has reminded me with surprise how big of a scary deal homosexuality was in the early 2000's.

it was the hottest, scariest social issue, and was the issue that galvanized voters in 2004 and made them re-elect a retarded war criminal monkey after everyone figured out the war was a sham

Yeah that one season where he spent it in a coma was utter poo poo

The first season kinda sucked and it wasn't until maybe the fourth season where the show really hit its stride

i really liked the dream sequences, the surreal quality and heavy symbolism just made it feel like it really was oozing out of someone's subconscious

What was that whole subplot of him waiting to kill that bear? They spent so much time on it. Made it seem like it had some relevance and then they did nothing with it.

The ending was actually pretty good in that they're saying being in the mob sucks and isn't glamorous. They were showing you that he has to live in constant fear, even when doing something as mundane as going out for dinner with his family.

I like the Sopranos up until maybe the fourth season and then it plateaued like crazy and got super boring. I really don't understand why people still go apeshit over it.

I'm about where you are OP and while I want to keep watching I find Christopher boring as day-old paint and the show is already leaning way too hard on his bullshit.
