Never watched it, won’t miss it.
They will all die or go to jail in the end.
The Sopranos changed television, and not just HBO. Complex, adult dramas like Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Rome and The Wire could not have existed without it. It did more than that, though.The Sopranos showed that television drama could be dark, complex and coloured with emotional shades of grey, the mirror opposite of the popular TV programs of the day: Friends, Touched by an Angel and the prime-time game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? It shared its serialized story format with popular prime-time soaps like Dallas and Dynasty but its sensibility was closer to the big-screen realism of Martin Scorsese and Robert Altman.
A fitting eulogy for an incredible series.
I’m praying that the writers get back on track for this final season but I’m not holding my breath.
“The quintessentially American family epic” is about gangsters? Doesn’t make me sorry I pulled the plug on the tv years ago.
The writers must have been channeling Spider Robinson ("Tony Donuts").
My wife and I have started watching Sopranos reruns on A&E. I have no idea where we are in the series.
We are enjoying the show. It’s a must see for us.
Worst show on TV. I have tried numerous times to get into it and just find it totally boring. I have the first season and have watched the first episode so many times in an attempt to try and find what people find it this absolutely boring show.
Really funny recap of the entire series to date. Funny, but accurate.
Great series.........I'm hooked.
Very sorry to hear it's ending, but at least I have many unseen episodes to keep me going for a long time.
There is an...'altercation' with a surprise outcome, which I believe will set the tone for the whole season. If the rest of the episodes are as good as the first, it will be a fitting ending for what was once the best show on TV.

You must be Canadian. Americans in NJ who post something about the Sopranos get thrown into the smokey backroom or general/chat.
The Sopranos had great acting and great writing. After you watch the Sopranos, you wonder how anyone could spend much time watching the latest Sandra Bullock, Brad Pitt, or Angelina Jolie fare. I never saw Mr and Mrs Smith but I heard it had enough of an audience to make money.
No actor ever inhabited a role more fully than James Gandolfini does Tony Soprano.
It's very depressing that it's ending, but it was glorious.
The show has been weak the last season or two but I’ll be watching
Deadwood and Rome were both better than last season's Sopranos.
I am proud to say that I have never seen a single episode and am not suffering from withdrawal.
It would be funny if Christopher (A complete idiot in the series) scores with his movie “Cleaver” and becomes a successful hollywood filmmaker while the rest of the crew ends up in jail or dead. Christopher actually mugged Lauren Bacall in a very funny episode.
