I binge watched the Sopranos a few months ago—there are a lot of subtleties that are hard to get the first time around...
brilliant show with a stunning truly original ending still hotly debated on the web to this day.
Those who saw the last episode when it first aired had an epic experience.
I can continue that discussion in private (to avoid spoilers) if any are interested.
The show was so dense, with so many characters and so many intricate plot points that spilled over into various season - it was hard to keep it all straight watching it either week to week - or season to season, some of which had 18 months between seasons. (Ditto for Game of Thrones).
Much better the second time b/c we watch it in either a two or three hour block - plot flows SO much better and it’s far easier to follow. I picked up on a lot of things that I missed the first round. It just got better and better - Season 6 is my absolute favorite - and the ending was just...weird.
Saw an interview with one of the writers and he said if they’d gone another season, the character “Syl” who owned the Bada-Bing would have died in the hospital - last the series left off, he was not expected to survive. Great character and I’d love another season - thought the prequel was a huge disappointment...
Where are you watching sopranos. I bought the Morse lewis endeavour series. Thinking of buying sopranos.
