The Sopranos is a U.S. made television drama series about the criminal and day to day lives of modern day mostly Italian American Mafia members. It is a work of fiction but said to be broadly based on reality. It is set in Nuu Joyzee (That's New Jersey to you and me). The programme ran for 6 series and 86 episodes all of which I have ...  Read the complete review

It's awful. I can't eat, can't sleep. I find myself unable to hold meaningful conversations with any of my friends or family (except for my mate Voylie when we slip into our faux-mafia routine. You! Paisan! Whadya talking about! Am I here to amuse you? etc.). I've got Sopranos on the brain. When I close my eyes all I can see is Satriali's ...  Read the complete review

WHAT IS IT ABOUT: The Sopranos follows the Italian mafia in modern day American, through Tony Soprano and his crew in New Jersey. The show is divided between Tony's gangster life in all its bloody violence, and his complex home-life with his wife and two children. The show ran six seasons. IS IT ANY GOOD: As regular readers of ...  Read the complete review

The Sopranos is one of my all-time favourite tv shows. I was aware of it for many years before deciding to invest in the series one dvd box-set. I wasn't that impressed by the first few episodes but I'm glad I stuck with it because I then became so engrossed with the characters and storylines that I've watched all seven series within a few ...  Read the complete review

I suspect The Sopranos is my all time favourite TV series. Dark and deeply disturbing at times, hilarious at others, starkly violent, but sometimes gentle it had so many facets. I've watched the entire series twice now and there are always bits you missed the first time around and I doubt I'd be able to resist a third showing! The ...  Read the complete review

Sopranos was one of those shows where I knew it was around but didn't really think about watching it until it had ended and there was a lot of hype surrounding it. This was a good thing in my eyes though as I had the entire six series that I could sit there and work through. I will review the series separately but this is a general review on why ...  Read the complete review

For some bizarre reason, many people have a strange fascination with crime, especially organised crime, namely the mafia. Francis Ford Coppola particularly popularised it with his epic Godfather trilogy, and Martin Scorsese followed suit with gritty, street-level pictures such as Mean Streets, Goodfellas and Casino. There's something about this ...  Read the complete review

The Sopranos first aired on HBO in 1999. It’s a compelling saga of mafia shenanigans set in New Jersey, and is currently widely acclaimed as the greatest TV drama of all time. (Which isn’t quite true – Deadwood was better, and HBO cancelling it means that they deserve bankruptcy and death). The final ever episode of Sopranos airs tomorrow night. ...  Read the complete review

Background ********** You only have to look at the success of films like the Godfather Trilogy, Goodfellas and Casino to name but a few and you have to admit the undeniable attraction of the Mafia. These films allow us inside the violent and gritty world of the mob and open our eyes to how organised crime functions. Many ...  Read the complete review

Hope you got yourself a gun. Give me a crown for this review because I got myself a gun. The Sopranos has totally dominated the mainstream of TV since the day that it was released over a year ago, but in all this time, the Sopranos as a show has kept the ingredients that made it a hit so long ago. No only have they retained the classic ...  Read the complete review

The multi award winning series from HBO telly is back on Channel Four after two successful series worldwide. If you ...  Read the complete review

I have never seen a program as engrossing and captivating as the Sopranos. Simple as that. It combines brilliant writing and superb acting from every member of the cast with just enough violence to make it dark and realistic. The Sopranos looks at the Soprano family, and how they integrate their lives with one another on both a personal and ...  Read the complete review

The Sopranos, writer-producer-director David Chase's extraordinary television series, is nominally an urban gangster drama, but its true impact strikes closer to home: Like 1999's other screen touchstone, American Beauty, the HBO series chronicles a dysfunctional, suburban American family in bold relief. And for protagonist Tony Soprano, ...  Read the complete review

Ahhh The Sopranos. I've been waiting absolutely ages to see the "new" series of this masterpiece of television, and it's now finally here - errr, on E4, so I'll have to content myself with the recently started re-runs on Channel 4 for now... Anyway, for those who've never watched: The Sopranos follows ...  Read the complete review

When I first saw the adverts for The Soprano's two years ago I thought 'this is my sort of programme'. Here was a drama (with a touch of parade and comedy) that contained everything. Violence, sex, and, best of all, the Mafia. When I watched the first episode it exceeded all my expectations. It was filled with dialogue, loads ...  Read the complete review

goodfellas....casino....and so on,If your a wanna be wiseguy like me these films press all the right buttons but alas once watched thats it no more. But the Sopranos goes on and on...the 3rd series is just about to start on E4 (bskyb).For you poor souls out there who have no clue to the supreme greatness of this tasty meatball of a drama let me ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit that when The Sopranos first hit our screens I didn't watch. I heard people raving about it but still didn't watch until the last few episodes of the second series. From the moment the opening titles hit I was hooked and bought the first Season on R1 dvd to catch up and I'm not catching on the second season on E4. ...  Read the complete review

The best TV ever. In fact - Better than any of the so called Mafia films. (except maybe Goodfellas) - Advantages: Engorssing, Original, Funny - Disadvantages: Only 2 series
