quote imdb.com
North Jersey mob boss, Tony Soprano, self-described "waste management consultant," reluctantly seeks a psychiatrist's help after blacking out. Lest he appear weak, he must keep his therapy a secret from the rest of the Mob. He's stressed: his teenage daughter is giving his wife fits; his mean-spirited mother refuses to move to a retirement community; his aging Uncle Junior, jealous of Tony's rise to the top, won't stay in line and engineers a plot to kill Tony; and the feds, armed with RICO, are circling. In therapy, Tony must come to terms with his father's example, his mother's manipulations, and his own fears of death and loss of family.

After 16 *bleep*ing months they finally got off their asses and got the new season going. I can't wait till tonight. I have been waiting a lifetime to see what happens with Chris and Paulie and that Russian guy in the forest. This is my favorite show. It beat out the The Simpsons. Thats pretty tough to do. Anyone else watch this show?

Yeah if you go back to page 13 or any of the real time fan reactions people were PISSED, first because what the hell is wrong with my TV, and then because what the hell that's it?

I've watched the last scene like 5 times now and I must concur with the above.

I've calmed down a little and think the ending was quite apt - I can't believe I checked like 3 sources afterwards to see if my download was missing an episode

All I can say is WHAT THE *bleep* HAPPENED???!
Haha. I had the fortune to not catch up until a year or so after the end so most of the momentum was gone. I do like the finale though and think it's aged decently. That's what death is, and Tony sure as hell is dead.

Toby I'm not exaggerating, as far as any other war story goes it's unparalleled. It's only a mini series so I can't really compare it to The Wire or anything, not just because of the genre but because there's only 10 episodes not 60. However after your one episode in on this it gets extremely good, the characters are all amazing and the struggles and friendships portrayed are brilliant, the story as a whole is enthralling trust me! Ups, downs and plenty of action, harrowing in parts but intensely gripping throughout. Recommended.

Toby, I'll take you up on watching Damages. If you can go through The Wire & this show and still praise that, there must be something to it.
Good man! ...and so it begins

Interesting ratings; I'm excited for Season 5 (I thought it was 4 that Buscemi comes into it but I'm on e11 and nothing so far) as Season 4 has been a bit harder to get through compared to others but undoubtedly had some fine, fine (and shocking) moments. Ralph getting *bleep*ed anally by Janice (I'll come back to her) was just wrong, haha. I was not expecting that at all, little bit of shock value doesn't hurt. The whole Ralph killing was awesome. Think it was probably the first time we had seen him murder someone, clean it up, get disposed of and then wash up without any interruption. Must have gone on for at least 15-20 minutes. Epic scene(s). Oh, and LOL - Tony just slammed the one-legged Russian chick, Svetlana. The idea had been musing around in my head for a few seasons now and I was in hysterics when he made the move, "You should see yourself now; in the shadows there, with the smoke all around you. You're beautiful..." Hahaha, Tony you smooth talker. I've always liked her character though and had been curious as to whether she would see some action.

Going back to Janice, I hate this manipulative, using, fake, two-faced bitch. That is all.

judaspriest I love the settings/context of Boardwalk and it made for a decent first season watch. Will probably eventually get round to continuing at some point but pfft. Deadwood with only 3 seasons to it's name is definitely getting watched in the foreseeable future. Always seen the thread floating around but never peeked in.

Oh and Band of Brothers - I feel that I've got an unfair judgement on it as I think I watched an episode of it somewhere and felt so disinterested it was unreal but in hindsight, I don't think I made it past half hour and I was probably baked out my face so in no position to give it a fair judgement. I realise this but it's going to take an effort for it to get back on my list of things to watch. Not heard a bad thing about the show but is it really that good?

Yeah Boardwalk Empire does kinda get boring however I still find it enjoyable to watch, strange. The settings and characters are great even if the plots do get a bit tedious.

Deadwood is fantastic, such a shame it only did 3 seasons however shit just goes down constantly and the era represented is very intriguing. Took me a while to get round to watching it but I'm glad I did.

Have you seen Band of Brothers? That's proably the best thing I've ever seen on TV, ever...

I busted out a season ranking of The Wire the other day. Haven't done one for The Sopranos in a while because it's been so long since those early seasons.

1 > 6-2 > 2 > 5 > 3 > 4 > 6-1

I like 5 a lot more than most other people. It is indeed the Buscemi season and although it's just biding time til the end and in some ways running in circles, the episode quality average is way high. And the ending stretch is one of my favorites ever, kudos for managing to stay in the dark after five years.

Toby, I'll take you up on watching Damages. If you can go through The Wire & this show and still praise that, there must be something to it.

Deadwood sounds intriguging; not something that jumps out at me but that's always the way forward. I can't have myself sitting here in a month's time bitching that I've got nothing to watch Be good to see a fair bit more of Olyphant as well, I think he's a decent actor from what I've seen in movies. It'll go on the list of things to watch - damn I need to catch up with Fringe too; don't even know where the *bleep* I am with that. May just give up, it was getting drawn out.

The Shape - the show is still climbing? Damn, I would have been content for it to stay at this level! The effort I've gone to, to not hear the ending around so many friends it's ridiculous. I'm on S4 now and this is the season where Buscemi comes into it right? I'm excited

I still implore all you *bleep*ers to find the time to watch Damages - that shit will break you.

Ah Toby, I remember around season four I would have furiously denied Sopranos being better than the wire, but by the end I was convinced
