The series is full of surprises ... And as Tony, Gandolfini gives a magnificently shrewd, wary performance. If, like me, you thought you never wanted to watch another Mob story, be sure to check this out.

By getting the details so right on something so peculiar and particular as this, The Sopranos actually opens a clear window onto modern incarnations of family and mortality and ambition. [9 Jan 1999, p.E05]

Esta es la historia de Tony Soprano un gangster que tiene la típica crisis de los 40 , un gangster que tiene que lidiar con los problemas que conlleva ser uno de los jefes de la mafia de New jersey y sobretodo un gangster que tiene hijos y una familia que alimentar. Todo esto hace que te entre la curiosidad de ver que le pasará a este singular personaje, la serie en general se desenvuelve muy bien teniendo así momentos para reír y para llorar esto último hace que al principio empatices con el personaje y digo al principio porque a medida que avanza la serie el personaje evoluciona y la serie pasa de tener un tono mas desenfadado a un tono mas depresivo y mas crudo de lo que es ser un mafioso, y con esto Tony toma decisiones que harán que estés en desacuerdo con su modus operandi , esto de la empatía con el personaje y las diferencias entre el espectador y Tony hacen algo que ni el mejor libro haría. No solo empatizas con Tony y ves su lado más humano también con los demás personajes de la serie que al igual que Tony son una pieza fumdamental de la serie. Personajes como Silvio, Paulie, Christopher, Carmela , **** , Meadow , Bobby Baccala y Junior Soprano establecen un lazo con el espectador que hace la relación con este algo especial , en mi caso me veía la serie cada cierto tiempo para ¨ahorrarla¨ por así decirlo y que no se me acabara tan rápido , al volver a verla sentías como si volvieses a ver a tus amigos de toda la vida , llegabas a conocer tan bien a los personajes que sabías como les iban a sentar algunas decisiones que Tony tomaba. Sin entrar en spoilers el final de la serie es raro si lo ves por primera vez pero después de analizarlo y comprenderlo ves que es un buen final que te deja con ganas de más. Esta crítica es personal , admito que al principio fué objetivo pero me es imposible aguantarme las ganas de expresar lo que para mi es ,fué y será una de las mejores si no la mejor serie de la historia. Para aquellos que aman el cine de gangster como la trilogía del Padrino, Goodfellas , Malas Calles , Casino y demás esta serie es imprescindible de ver . En los tiempos que corren donde existe la sempiterna lucha entre que es mejor las series o las pelis , en este caso el punto es para las series.

This is sophisticated television that assumes there is an intelligent audience for well-written, off-center, ambitious entertainment. David Chase has created a contemporary mob masterpiece. The Sopranos, make no mistake, is the first truly great TV show of 1999. [8 Jan 1999, p.1D]

No, The Sopranos is not the equal of Scorsese's masterpiece ["Goodfellas"], but it manages to bring a new spin to the words "dysfunctional" and "family," and it deserves its place alongside other HBO gems like "The Larry Sanders Show" and "Sex and the City." [9 Jan 1999, p.C1]

While refraining from slapping the comedy on too thick, creator David Chase has made Soprano's inward search surprisingly affecting.

It is every bit as smart as you would expect something from Chase to be. It's built more on the limited-run model of British television than standard network fare. [9 Jan 1999, p.1E]

The series has some potent black humor and good acting, especially from Nancy Marchand as the mobster's mom and Edie Falco as his wife...But a gangster's midlife crisis is a weak, unpalatable premise for a series. The Sopranos makes an offer you can refuse. [10 Jan 1999, p.F1]

Definitely one of the best shows, if not the best show ever made! It is much more than just some mafia show it is also a good family drama, filled with people that u just start caring about. If u have not yet watched sopranos, u should go and watch it now!

Even right out of the gate this show is phenomenal. Some of the greatest characters of all time are on this show.

The Sopranos is one of the foundations of The Golden Age of Television. Gandolfini and company are superb.

What made this series is so appealing was the smartly self-exploration script and fantastic casting, but, what kept dragging everything down was unfortunately narration and cinematography that frankly effected tiresomeness.

A ok story with a great actor that doesn't seem to fill the role ****, he looks like the guy that would get slapped around in middle school and have no luck with the ladies but did a fantastic job at his role. The story is quite a bore with nothing going on but drama, there is hardly any action and the lead character is nothing but a QQ drama queen, who cares only of himself which is the opposite of a family. The show doesn't have any good depth on their business model except show up to a store collect money. They have more conflict with each other than they do with anyone else it's a huge disappointment for a gangster film.
