I remember that scene-I only watched the Sopranos in the last three years. My wife had never seen it either, so we binge-watched it the way we are watching Yellowstone now.

I didn’t like the Sopranos. It was just the story. Too negative for too long. And Yellowstone is like that, except it has woke stuff all mixed into it, and I hate that.

Yes, I guess there is a difference in viewer response between seeing a story in small doses and seeing it all at once. Somebody should take these long sagas and edit them into, say, a three- or four-hour sit down.

On the other hand, the Sopranos movie, The Many Saints of Newark, was one of the worst films I've seen in years. Horribly disappointing prequel written after-the-fact of a successful tv series.

I speak Italian and had lived amonst the mob before I moved to where I am now; so The Sopranos had a familiarity to me; there were a number of "asides" in Italian or the American half-Italian figures of speech, and a particular kind of absurdity and dark humor that I enjoyed. I watched it on cable well after the original broadcast, but serially.

Yellowstone looks interesting.I read they had some squabbles with Sam Elliott in the prequel, 1883, over the historically inaccurate gay stuff and woketude. Would like to catch up with the saga one of these days. Helen Mirren's wardrobe in 1923, for one thing!

The series appears to have influenced her in real life. She wore a beautiful prairie-style dress recently when she took part in the Willie Nelson 90th Birthday broadcast, which was amazing, btw. It's still available to stream over the internet on CBS.com/
