Too bad I did not watch TV back then, sounds like it was a good show; if you like east coast city based stuff.
Yeah, if you like murderers and the people who enable them, you’d love it.

It can be watched today on YouTube for free or potentially several other venues.
What made the Sopranos so good was the different characters around Tony. They were all very flawed sociopaths. Guys that could seem like your friend one minute and not think twice about killing you a few minutes later.
Some of the episodes were so crazy that they were instant classics. They also took on subjects that were not allowed to be spoken about anywhere else on television at the time. Which are now commonplace. You do have to have a tolerance for swearing and occasional nudity(Tony owned a strip bar),
It was a great show, with great characters and great writing. I would strongly suggest you give it a try. It is much better than anything on cable/streaming TV today.
