From seasons 1 till the end it was a great show. I am not really a TV , Movies or Series guy but this generally got me hooked and i loved every second of it.

Yeah after 20 years of not watching it I’d say it’s pretty great. Gabagool gabagool.

This is easily a contender for the best tv series ever made, alongside series like Breaking Bad. It's a must see.

Goodfellas, The Godfather, Scarface, Heat, and Reservoir Dogs meets Analyze This . . . The Soprano family is my family and I'm still waiting to know if that ending is pay back for "so what, no f***ing ziti?!"

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.

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.

So, the Sopranos series The Sopranos is an undeniably iconic American crime drama series that has become a benchmark for high-quality television since its release (and this is 1999 for a moment). Created by David Chase, the series tells the story of Tony Soprano, the boss of an Italian-American mafia family from New Jersey, who tries to combine violent criminal activities with family life and personal psychological problems.I like that almost all the characters don't look like waffles, each character causes me mixed feelings - from disgust to sympathy."The Sopranos" marked the beginning of the era of the "golden age of television", setting a high bar for the quality of the script, direction and acting. The series abandoned the traditional episodic format in favor of a long, somewhat tedious narrative that requires patience and engagement from the **** is important to note that the Sopranos is not just a story about the mafia, but the silhouette of a man who found himself at the top of the criminal world, but paid a huge personal price for it.Tony Soprano (the main character) is a charismatic and intelligent leader who outwardly seems strong and successful, but inside suffers from panic attacks, depression and internal conflict between the roles of mafia, father, husband and son. His power is based on cruelty, betrayal and constant threat, which leads to estrangement from his family and the inability to build real trusting relationships (not only between his wife and children, among others).I like that the series shows that the mafia is not a romance. The only things not shown here were luxury living, shoes just bought from their expensive boutique in Italy and many other things. They don't romanticize the mafia here, but show how harsh reality is, where there is no place for ideals and friendship: everyone is for himself, and any connections are more business than personal. Even Tony's family becomes not a source of support, but a place for new conflicts.Tony's internal conflict is an attempt to combine the incompatible - to be a good son, father and husband, but at the same time remain a ruthless mafia boss. With his mother, he has problems, his mother is not capable of love and **** Soprano family is seemingly ordinary, but in fact deeply dysfunctional. (Carmela's wife suffers infidelity for the sake of material well-being, the children suffer from a lack of attention and support, and Tony's mother is the source of his psychological trauma) The price of Tony's power and wealth is loneliness, mental disorders, and broken relationships with loved ones. The series honestly shows that the path to the top in the world of crime inevitably leads to inner emptiness, dehumanization and the inability to be truly happy.I remember very well the moment where Tony says, "Our mothers, they're like bus drivers. No, they're the buses themselves. They bring us here, drop us off, and drive on. They continue on their way. And the problem is that we're trying to get back on the bus instead of letting it go." is a very interesting phrase. The phrase, of course, embodies a metaphorical reflection on the role of the mother in human life and the difficulties of emotional liberation from parental **** mother here is a symbol of the path, destiny and life route. She "brings" me, her child, to a certain stage of life, provides a start, support, upbringing and personality formation. But then she "moves on" - continues on her own path, making us independent. It's scary to realize at a young age that this is the inevitable separation of the child from the mother, the transition to adulthood and responsibility for oneself. The main problem, which Tony emphasizes, is that we often cannot let go of this "bus" - that is, we cannot free ourselves from the influence and control of the mother (and not only dad, grandma, grandpa), from emotional dependence, from attempts to return to the old, childish relationship, where the mother was the center and a support.I think "The Sopranos" is deservedly considered a masterpiece.

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.

So so good, what a series, it took me some time to finish but imhardly a finisher when it comes to television series. I know that will watch it again. Loved the characters and loved/hated that fat son of a *****

Simply the greatest acting, directing, storytelling, writing and genius I have ever seen in my life

Greatest TV show of all time.Really helped to open my mind cinema wise and have a more neutral vision. Each characters of it make you understand that there is no black or white and to shade your vision of the world.Dont have the words to describe how it save my life at a certain point..Rest in Peace James Gandolfini the great

Decent story with good characters the story just goes on too long and that ending..

One of the best shows I have ever watched. Great acting, believable storylines, good pacing. I loved it

My favorite TV show of all time. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Кращий кримінальний серіал свого часу. Потужно і якісно.всімпоціновувачам жанру рекомендую

Watched all episodes until S5 E8. I tried to stick it out, buy couldn’t take it anymore. This is the most overrated, annoying show I’ve ever seen.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Cette série mal faite, chiante et pas drôle est un « Affranchis » de chez Tati complètement bancal qui cherche sans cesse sa voie entre la comédie et le polar et qui finit simplement dans le trou. Pour voir quelque chose de réussi (et aussi un chef-d’oeuvre dans le genre), il faut regarder… les Affranchis de Scorsese !). Dommage évidemment pour James Gandolfini qui a assuré avec talent de nombreux seconds rôles au cinéma mais il ne suffit pas à lui seul à sauver ici cette série pourrie qui accumule les bavardages sans fin et les poncifs foireux dont on se fout totalement. Ce quotidien imbécile de cette famille mafieuse à la godille tourne dans le vide et la nullité à dormir debout !

Se puede resumir en que es la mejor serie de la historia, junto a The Wire.

Unforgettable and undeniably fun, even if sometimes surprisingly unfocused.

Uma série que vai muito além da máfia com personagens complexos e com um grau de conexão muito forte entre si.

The series became a classic during his lifetime, it's just incredible. An action comedy satire with a epic story.

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.

Best TV-show ever! Good story, perfect cast! Really drags you into the screen and plays on your emotion.

Got almost nothing to say here. The Sopranos is simultaneously one of the greatest dramas ever produced but also one of the greatest comedies ever produced.

Quite simply the finest TV show I have ever watched. How I slept on this show for 20+ years (it started in 1999) is beyond me. However, in some ways, I am glad I did. In an age of immediate abundance and confusion of what to watch/binge, what an absolute triumph of casting, writing, and acting, it really doesn't get any better than this. Having finished the entire 7 seasons in a month, I will miss this show like there is a hole in my life. Goldolphini, Falco, and crew I doth my cap.

Obra prima da televisão

For me second best show of all time. But if "Sopranos" never existed, there wouldn't made "Breaking Bad" and "Game of Thrones". BEST protogonist in TV and one of the most tragic deuteragonist ever made and peak conclusion.

The greatest drama series. The greatest comedy series. The best writing. The best acting. Such an amazing show and one I never get tired of on rewatches.

To describe HBO's The Sopranos as a simple television series would be an understatement of grand proportions. It is a narrative triumph that revolutionized television drama and took it into a dimension unexplored before its inception. The magic it unfurls is akin to capturing lightning in a bottle, a phenomenon that is not merely a show, but a reflection of life itself. As someone who initially wasn't invested in the crime genre, the series was nothing more than a matter of curiosity at first. I found myself watching episodes out of order, intrigued by the hype and acclaim surrounding it. Little did I know then, I was embarking on a journey that would reshape my perception of television and leave indelible imprints on my mind. One of the show's strongest points lies in its characters - fully realized, flawed, and intensely human. James Gandolfini's portrayal of Tony Soprano is nothing short of masterful, earning him a rightful place in the pantheon of unforgettable television characters. The dynamics between him and his wife, Carmela Soprano, played exquisitely by Edie Falco, are both heart-wrenching and electrifying. The complexity of their relationship offers an unparalleled examination of marital struggles, power dynamics, and existential crises. Similarly, supporting characters like the manipulative Livia Soprano, the grumpy yet amusing Junior, the troubled Christopher Moltisanti, the eccentric Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri, and the tragic but complex Salvatore Bonpensiero all add unique hues to this intricately woven narrative. This isn't just a story about the mafia. This is about the American Dream in all its dappled, sometimes ugly, reality. It's about the complexities of human existence, about family, loyalty, ambition, guilt, and redemption. In many ways, The Sopranos is a modern retelling of the epic stories that have captivated humanity for centuries - it is our generation's answer to the likes of the Bible, the Iliad of Homer, and Shakespearean tragedies. In terms of storyline, The Sopranos stands as a paragon of narrative excellence. The intricate plot, coupled with rich character development, keeps you on the edge of your seat, while the thematic depth implores you to think, to question, and to introspect. The earlier seasons (1-4) are particularly powerful, although seasons 5 and 6 also have standout episodes that are truly unforgettable. One cannot discuss The Sopranos without acknowledging its brilliant musical choices. The soundtrack is a character in itself, perfectly encapsulating the show's mood, its cultural backdrop, and the characters' emotional arcs. The way the music and visuals synergize to tell the story is truly remarkable. The Sopranos is not just a viewing experience; it's a phenomenon that demands to be felt, understood, and treasured. The bar it set during its time is so high that even its contemporary, Breaking Bad, while extraordinary in its own right, does not quite match it. The Sopranos, with its unrivaled chemistry, spectacular performances, and profound storytelling, remains a titan in the world of television. In conclusion, words can only do so much justice to the artistic brilliance that is The Sopranos. It is something that must be experienced first-hand in its full glory, a masterpiece that redefines the possibilities of the medium and leaves a lasting impact long after the final credits roll. It is a testament to the power of television storytelling that continues to resonate and inspire. Truly, The Sopranos is an enduring classic, a phenomenon that remains unmatched.

From my point of view, The Sopranos is one of the greatest TV series in history. I have already re-watched it for 4 times, and every time it gets better. The plot, the characters, it's all perfect. You cannot forget any of The Sopranos characters, they are too true, you can love some of them or hate them, they are so well-developed and the authors paid attention to all small details, so there are no good or bad characters, you can only choose them by yourself. The characters were so true, so I started to find similarities between them and people whom I know IRL. Everyone in this show has his personality, his problems, and even some characters that pop up only once on the screen. It's fascinating. If you still haven't watched The Sopranos, you should immediately do this .

The greatest tv series. There is something about The sopranos that is able to make it gripping. Is it the acting? The writing? The directing? The crimes? Well it is all of it. No episode is boring. 10/10 show

The best series of all time. Incredible acting, great work of writers and director.

Probably my favorite TV series of all time. Rewatching this in 2023, I'm not sure anything has surpassed the quality and consistency since, after more than 20 years. The plotlines are interesting, acting amazing, comedy can be hilarious. I always believed too much focus was on the ending and not enough on... everything else.

It is one of the best if you haven't seen and yes there is a good amount of issues with the show and any other media .

By far the strongest and overall best series I've watched is 'The Sopranos'. In my opinion, this series is even more admirable than series like 'Breaking Bad' and 'Game of Thrones'. I can't say anything more about 'The Sopranos' other than praise. Just be sure to watch this series till the end with patience.

Basically, the greatest show, or piece of media ever made. They'll study this show 2000 years from now, like we study the Odyssey. I say this as objectively as I can, this show is to TV as, say, the Mona Lisa is to painting. This cannot really be argued unless you have some kind of personal vendetta against the concept. There's no way this deserves any less than a 9.8, unless you consider that there's deliberate downvoting by people who don't like some of the vulgarity and crudeness of the concept. This show isn't really even about the mafia. It's about life, and family, itself. The mafia is the stage on which this concept is presented. Nothing has ever or will ever come close. The only people who criticize it probably don't like the toxicity of the main characters, but I think that's the point, the show how bad that mentality is. But given our current culture of sterilization, this is receiving unfair low ratings.

One of the best shows ever great humour intrigue violence it has it all interesting well acted characters that you become extremely vested in I dont think you will see a show of this calibre ever again

La Mejor serie que me vi en mi puta vida los personajes secundarios son tan importantes como los principales te encariñas con ellos y te identificas

Being a mix of Crime Drama, family sitcom and psychoanalysis The Sopranos is truly an experience of its own boasting a decent run time and not being afraid to bow when its curtain is called. This is true a unique experience in cinema as the writers of the show manager to make you simultaneously hate and love the antics of the sopranos cast. It rare that a show can make you sympathize the with woes of character in one breath before making you disgusted by their actions in the next. It truly masterful how the team behind the sopranos was able to invest so much emotion in characters who are considerably horrible people. It was a joy to watch even though my only gripe is that show seems to run on a little long in the 5th season. If you haven't seen I would recommend you do so soon, the hbo max subscription is well worth it.

¿La Complejidad humana de Tony Soprano. ¿Puede Tony Soprano ser curado? Breaking Bad es muy divertido y, honestamente, tal vez esté más tramado, pero para mí es un thriller realmente bien hecho, mientras que Soprano es una exploración profunda de la psicología y ( vomita incontrolablemente ) la condición humana. Los Soprano es mucho más experimental y de formas más interesantes. Es más ambiguo temáticamente y más difícil de precisar en general. Todo esto lo hace mejor al volver a mirar. Breaking Bad no tiene el mismo tipo de intensidad eléctrica después de que lo terminas por primera vez, pero casi amo más a Los Soprano cada vez que veo una parte. No estás necesariamente equivocado si consideras que Breaking Bad es mejor, pero si lo haces, se basa en criterios muy diferentes al mío. Esperar una nueva mirada es la marca número uno de un gran espectáculo en mis ojos, y Wire / Sopranos / Mad Men son fenomenales en ese sentido. Los personajes definitivamente también están a favor de los Soprano. Tan interesante como es el viaje de Walt, y en menor medida el de Jesse, etc., Tony Soprano es el personaje mejor escrito (sin mencionar el actuado) que he visto en un programa de televisión. Nunca comprendes realmente el funcionamiento interno de la mente y el estilo de vida de Walt de la misma manera que lo haces con Tony: todos sus traumas infantiles, hábitos extraños, problemas familiares, enfermedades mentales, los nueve metros completos. Con Walt, básicamente se sugiere su experiencia. Hay mucho menos sentido de que él sea una persona viva y que respira antes del Episodio 1 de la Temporada 1. Tal vez simplemente no sea relevante, y obtenemos una cantidad inusual de información sobre Tony debido al dispositivo de la trama de la terapia, pero hace una gran diferencia en la calidad general en mi opinión. En cuanto a los personajes secundarios, Skyler es prácticamente una Carmela menos desarrollada. Jesse es bastante similar a Christopher en muchos aspectos. Personajes como Silvio, Paulie o el tío Junior, solo por nombrar un par, son mejores que cualquiera de los personajes de tercera cadena de Breaking Bad. Walt Jr. es mucho menos interesante que cualquiera de los hijos de Tony, por mucho que odien a veces. Gandolfini en este papel debería estar a la altura de personajes como el Joker de Heath Ledger. Aporta mucho más encanto y capacidad para provocar empatía de lo que el personaje tenía que tener. Tony es lo que debería haber sido Cersei, completamente irredimible moralmente y aún capaz de provocar nuestra empatía porque tiene momentos de vulnerabilidad emocional y un cuidado genuino por sus hijos. Lo mejor de Los Soprano es que NADIE conoce las verdaderas intenciones de Tony... NI SIQUIERA TONY. Es una de las mejores historias jamás contadas sobre la lucha entre el Bien y el Mal dentro de la psique de un individuo. En esencia, Tony es un sociópata, incluso un psicópata que ha sido condicionado por su educación y las personas que lo rodean que también eran narcisistas, sociópatas y psicópatas. Pero Tony tiene un lado moral diferente a muchos a su alrededor, una bondad en su corazón que desesperadamente quiere sacar a la superficie. Sin embargo, su vida fue básicamente elegida para él, se siente atrapado en el cuerpo de ser un jefe de la mafia haciendo estas cosas horrendas. Es por eso que sufre de PTSD, Estrés, Ansiedad, Depresión. En su corazón, el lado bueno de él, quiere una vida sencilla, quiere ser una mejor persona sin tener que ser un Mob Boss. Sin embargo, ya ha perdido esta batalla consigo mismo porque, de hecho, es un socio/psicópata narcisista. Está tratando de convencerse a sí mismo de que es bueno y puede ser bueno, pero la lucha por sacar a la superficie esa bondad dentro de él es esencialmente poco realista porque ya está demasiado perdido y lo que trata de hacer es aferrarse a la bondad dentro de él mientras lentamente. se escapa a lo largo del programa hasta que al final se hace evidente que el narcisismo de Tony lo ha consumido casi por completo. Esencialmente, su propia maldad, sociopatía y narcisismo lo estaban engañando a él y a todos los demás todo el tiempo para consumirlo por completo. Al final del espectáculo, podemos ver que la bondad ha desaparecido, podemos ver que ahora está consumido por los engaños que evoca para justificar sus propios males. Pierde la batalla por su propia alma y esa bondad que estaba presente al comienzo del espectáculo ahora se ha ido por completo. Es una de las historias psicológicas e incluso espirituales más brillantes jamás escritas sobre una persona que lucha contra su propio bien y mal dentro de sí misma. Los 5 mejores espectáculos de todos los tiempos, seguro.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

si elimino la importancia que además tiene Los Soprano. The Sopranos es un estudio de personajes mucho más detallado y profundo que Breaking Bad. Mucho más maduro y conectado a tierra, por lo que no es para todos. Toca tantos temas que es una locura, y el personaje de Tony gracias al especto de la terapia se exploró tanto que se convirtió posiblemente en el personaje mas humano, Complejo y detallado de toda la televisión. Hay muchos videos que analizan a Tony en profundidad. Breaking Bad tenía una historia mucho más emocionante y accesible. Que probablemente sea más agradable para el espectador promedio, pero The Sopranos sigue siendo una obra de arte más importante. Breaking Bad fue mi programa favorito, lo he visto 7 veces y recientemente ví Los Soprano por primera vez, he afectado profundamente la forma en que veo mi propia vida, mi familia y mi psicólogia. De hecho, me ha hecho pensar en muchas cosas, mucho más personales.

"Si todavía no la has visto, si por alguna extraña razón sentís prejuicios, creedme: vais a reír, llorar y a conocer algunos de los más grandes personajes de la televisión. Preparaos para un viaje excepcional que, sin duda, dejará una huella indeleble en vuestra retina." vi este articulo de filmafinfinity de una critica experta , los soprano te marca la vida hay un antes y un despues cuando salio los soprano , es la mejor serie de la historia y al que diga lo contrario no sabe de cinematografia , es una obra de arte te muestra la vida misma , he visto muchas peliculas y series e incluso estudio cine y hasta el momento lo mejor que he visto

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

genialny, rewelacyjny, hbo tym serialem wtedy wygrało wszystko... kapitalny james gandolfini... z chęcia oglądałem drugi raz

Greatest show of all time , HANDS DOWN ! , SIMPLY THE BEST .................

Los Soprano es un libro en la televisión, está llena de matices profundidad Hasta salieron libros hablando de su final, es una serie tan perfecta Narrativa mente que por eso es la serie del antiheroe antonomacia Los Soprano no es como todas las series muchas veces su climax y mejores momentos dramaticos pueden ocurrir durante los 10 primeros minutos o la mitad del capítulo, a diferencia de las series de hoy en día que todo es al final y terminan con un cliffhanger Breaking Bad Game of Thrones the walking dead todas tienen Narrativa convencional "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

Chase tuvo unos huevos del tamaño de los un toro para hacer este final. The Sopranos es El Quijote de la televisión. De ahí se han inspirado TODAS las series dramáticas del siglo XXI. Y por Tony Soprano es que existen los antihéroes como Don Drapper, Eliot Alderson, Walter White, Dexter y los demás que van a surgir en tiempos futuros que probablemente ni alcanzaremos a ver. Personalmente, la comparación con Breaking Bad por momentos me ofende. Sí, Breaking Bad es una gran serie pero The Sopranos está por encima de Breaking pero de lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos. Todos dicen que Breaking Bad es la mejor por pasar de episodios sumamente dramáticos como Ozzymandias a otros más "analíticos" como Fly ignorando que en The Sopranos existe un episodio llamado The Test Dream que es un sueño donde se estudia los miedos, traumas, miedos y deseos de tony todo a través de lenguaje cinematográfico y narrativa visual y otro como White Caps donde literalmente se analiza el mundo y la realidad de las trabajadoras para adultos y su vida como un ciclo que se repite siempre. Cada personaje está sumamente bien escrito. Para ejemplos el arco narrativo de AJ que es literal, un sube y baja. Para mí es uno de los personajes más infravalorado de la serie. El soundtrack está en su punto y cada situación cotidiana y la cinematografía da un salto de calidad considerable a partir de la 4ta temporada. Toda la serie es un psicoanálisis de principio a fin y entre más mayor te vuelves, más la disfrutas y sientes que quien está en terapia con Melfi eres tú mismo y no Tony Soprano.
