Another IA here. I love The Godfather I & II but I could never get into The Sopranoes . I tried two times but I was bored and annoyed at the same time.

Mad Men and Six Feet Under were better.

Actually, far beyond what the series supposedly said about Italian-Americans, it was far more brilliant in exposing Jerseyites in all their foibles. I never saw a show that depicted New Jersey more knowledgeably than this - with great wit.

Perhaps if you didn't live there, the show would be a big bore. I watched about 3 episodes the other night. I was surprised - considering how Gandolfini died - at how many references there were to his overeating. I wonder if the writers were aware of HIS foibles.

I quit Mad Men when they dumped trash everywhere after their picnic

A hipster PC look back on an era the writers knew nothing about personally

Never watched the Sopranos. I recently binged Six Feet Under. Darn good show!
