The Sopranos

Una serie de exploración de la depresión, la soledad, la vida y el significado de está, como se supone que debe ser un hombre y como este debe comportarse, The Sopranos es la mejor serie hecha por los arcos de cada personaje y su final tan espléndido e impactante.

I'm 4 seasons in and its a mixed bag so far. Only the core 5-6 cast regulars seem to wear plot armour and although its titled as being the first long form TV series it's mostly a "problem of the week" mixed with 2-3 episode arc storylines. Overall watching such a ruthless and cruel character as Anthony basically doing his job is quite a downer. Yes there are upsides but the reality is you are watching a bully sometimes cry about having just murdered his own friends for some reason or another. The writing and production quality is a real mixed bag here with many episodes failing to keep the show compelling to stay with. Season 1 feels like a flash in the pan into terms of qualiy the rest of the show struggles to reach.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

This show is actually pretty bad. I guess when it came out it seemed fresh or something, even though it's a made for TV, Scorcese rip off, mixed with a melodramatic, soap opera. Talk about dumb dialogue. The writing has aged the worst of all the various aspects of the show. The premise itself is built to run aground. Add to it the obvious fanaticism the writers seem to have for murderous Italian criminal organizations, and it becomes eye rollingly embarrassing. Besides Tony murdering and beating his enemies, most story lines go nowhere and reveal nothing of any interest. It's trying so hard to act like it is roasting certain sacred cows. It is childlike in it's attempt at biting satire. Ultimately, it reinforced dumb stereotypes about women, minorities, college students, even psychiatrists. Mostly, the show displays sick people acting like normal folks, thus humanizing them. It's not only boring, bland, and redundant, but it's a stupid fantasy.

Talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. Some murders. Talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. Dull series, not interesting to watch. I don't get the reason for such high score.
