The new docuseries from HBO, Wise Guy, is out now. In it, David Chase, creator of The Sopranos, speaks about the creation of the show that changed television history.

The end of the show was am ambiguous so that you could imagine what went down.

In my mind, Tony got popped...never even knew it happened.

AJ never would end up a prison bitch because he would screw up trying to take revenge....and Meadow would become a mob lawyer.
Carmela would probably go to Italy to find Furio and marry him.

It was a pretty good show, but ‘best of all time’? Not hardly

I still think Breaking Bad was better.
