It could have something to do with Gandolfini's high whiny voice. It grated on my nerves. The stupidity and brutality of most of the characters. Two episodes in I realized it wasn't my cup of tea.
Yeah, I get it. Of course, mobsters are not noted for their Rhode Scholar ways, of course, but the acting across the board was very good. But I certainly understand your point of view. I feel the same way about Good Fellas.

Agreed. The Sopranos scripts were good, and so was the acting. But week after week, brutality won out. It was like watching a show about a successful Gestapo squad.
As you said, not my cup of tea.
