IDK why I waited so long to rewatch this. It holds up probably better than any other TV show I can think of. And CHRIST is it funny. The varsity athlete stuff with Uncle Junior had me howling today.

I watched a Christopher mashup on youtube and holy poo poo I forgot how many times and how often he beats Adrianna

The 2 things that REALLY stick out that wouldn't be shown on TV today is the level of violence against women that is depicted and how racist everyone is.

Depiction isn't condoning. TV today shows plenty of violence towards women.

Watchmen was only a couple years ago and everybody was extremely racist.


Watchmen was about the KKK. it's completely different from the casual throwaway racism that is in the Sopranos. (It's actually much closer to how people like that would actually talk though)

I completely forgot about the episode where Christopher and Little Carmine bother Ben Kingsley to make their dumb gangster slasher movie lol. And for some reason Lauren Bacall is in it?

Another thing I completely forgot was when Christopher just executes his friend the writer out of nowhere. I remember feeling bad when Christopher died and I really shouldn't have... He's much worse of piece of poo poo watching it now than I remember him being in my first watchthrough.

It's funny when you go back to season one for a rewatch and the show is almost cartoonishly light in comparison.

Is this your first watch through? Not really a spoiler, but it's only getting meaner from here on

A friend of mine says that Season 1 of the Sopranos is like a USA show. It's so light compared to the rest of the show.
