Yes, it's brilliant, again.

Jun 17, 2013

No, 'The Sopranos' isn't the constant shock-of-the-new it once was; even its moments of abrupt, crazy violence are easily spotted. But there are still many scenes that are touching and devastatingly sincere.

Consistently setting the pace at this point, Sopranos is definitely living up to its reputation. Sometimes you just watch something and have to put your hands up and say "this **** is perfect". That's this season and show for me. Influential, full of great acting and plot, it is a CERTIFIED CLASSIC. Fantastic.

[Steve Buscemi's] appearance is the occasion for exposition that's not as smooth as we'd expect from this extraordinary series. Yet the season premiere has moments so compelling that you'll be irresistibly drawn back into the family business.

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.

Just as glorious as it ever was. The Tony Blundetto storyline is among my favorites of the show.

Feb 16, 2017

Lo sabía, sabía al inicio de esta temporada que se uniria a la fiesta el que faltaba, el personaje de Steve Buscemi, que interpreta al primo recién salido de prisión de Tony Soprano, un personaje interesantísimo, que unido a ciertos momentos como el capitulo de Adriana o como el final de temporada hacen de esta temporada a falta de ver la sexta, mi favorita hasta el momento. Es sobresaliente el todo actuaciones, diálogos, guión (alucinantes giros finales), madurez de ****. Una obra maestra esta temporada con la que solo puedo decir algo: ¡Larga vida a Los Soprano!

Every season of the sopranos is getting a 10 from me, along with the wire? you ask me why? because i dont have an 11 button. along with the wire, one of the shows that completely revolutionised television. there are others that can be compared, even favourably, and there are forerunners and worthy successors, but these two shows pretty much dropped the bomb on tv. the sopranos is better than the wire for me, but its an apples and oranges thing. this show is endlessly fascinating, incredibly rich, and effortlessly reflective of america itself. the wire further deconstructed the episodic shackles of television, and the idiot drive to pacify an audience, but the sopranos owned the narrative perspective, and the cynical portrait of the larger world it is set in. we got to know the city of omars baltimore real well from watching the wire. but tonys america is the world we are living in.
