The story's a good one, all right, and beautifully related--but there's a lot more going on in "The Sopranos" than good storytelling. This is one of the most unpretentiously profound and troubling dramas in the history of American television. [16 Jan 2000]

Jul 19, 2013

Anyone who doesn't think this is the best drama on television should have his head examined. [16 Jan 2000]

As unpredictably thrilling as ever. [15 Jan 2000]

Jul 19, 2013

"The Sopranos" remains a showcase for ferociously distinctive writing, inventive direction and brilliant portrayals of surprisingly, even disturbingly, sympathetic multilayered characters by a perfectly cast group of actors who hold back nothing. [14 Jan 2000]

Jul 19, 2013

The new episodes are brilliant, proving the first season wasn't a fantastic fluke. [14 Jan 2000]

Jun 13, 2013

Miraculous ... One of the myriad greatnesses of The Sopranos is that, to paraphrase the Godfather paraphrase that Steven Van Zandt's Silvio frequently quotes, it keeps pulling you back in — back in on yourself, appealing to your basest instincts, to your fundamental urge to hear a bloody story well told.

Jul 19, 2013

I'll grant you the Soprano family story is vividly told and colorfully acted, but the mob intrigue can be grim, disturbing and tiresome. [16 Jan 2000]

"Es una exploración de la condición del mal " en el ser humano y como nos vemos facinados aún queriendo refugiarnos en sitios nobles como la (religión,familia, lealtad )etc por ella ,en palabras de psicólogos reales la mejor representación en ficción audiovisual No es una serie de respuestas fáciles ni endiosamientos, obliga a que prestes atención y a que seas tu quien intérpreta y saques tus propias conclusiones, mientras te reta a ti a examinarte a ti mismo y tú propia percepción del mundo que crees que conoces. Ninguna serie de esta década le llega a los talones a los Soprano, six Feet Under o The Wire por la simple razón de que TODAS tienen una narración especulativa con cliffhangers , todo está en función del final , en las 3 que mencioné esto no sucede Incluso breaking Bad ( una de las mejores series de la historia ) ya Posse una narrativa especulativa , termina la serie y chau . Nadie dice " volvamos a ver un capítulo de la segunda temporada , en cambio uno puede volver a ver cuálquier episodio de six Feet Under o los Soprano. , los Soprano se estudiara en la universidades como se estudia Hamlet. Las sesiones de terapia entre Tony Soprano y la doctora melfi , duraron 6 temporadas Más de 4.300 minutos que sirvieron para desarrollar la psicólogia de decenas de personajes que , más que personajes , fueron personas

Hay que admitirlo. La ambigüedad de esta serie, la profundidad y la cantidad de interpretaciones que se pueden darle la hace una de las mas si no es que la más compleja de las series. Es interesante como para algunos la falta de respuestas claras es un insulto, y para otros es una muestra de respeto a la inteligencia de su audiencia. Con respecto al final, me gusta la interpretación de Chase "Tony era un tipo muy infeliz, pero cuando por fin vamos a verlo compartir un buen momento con sus seres queridos no sabemos cuál es el resultado de eso". La mejor serie de toda la historia, no hay más.

Oct 2, 2018

This season is just as strong and compelling as ever. They include a new character, Richie Aprile, who is a marvel of writing and acting.

Feb 17, 2017

Bir içim su. Dizinin en iyi sezonu olmasıdır. Diziyi sezonlara bölmek hakaret olsa da hayatımda yeri büyükdür. Bu kadar dolu bir yapım kolay kolay gelmeyecektir. R.i.p James Gondolfini
