The older I get, I realize there will never be another show such as this one. This "best moments" made me realize what a masterpiece this series was. The actors were brilliantly cast, and the writers....god bless them! We can only dream that something will again be written so well, and portrayed on the screen like this series.
i don't get how this show can be both a masterclass of drama and suspense but also be so FUNNY. paulie and silvio in particular are practically cartoon characters and still somehow completely sell it when theyre deadly serious. truly one of a kind
The part in season 1 where Paulie is more bothered by poison oak causing him to itch than the chase him and Christopher just ensued. He was so annoyed rather than just shooting rusty once he just unloads his entire clip into him 😂
@@Erestanfeo stupid question but i can't remember. why did he give him the fish like what happened that had chris so on edge thinking paulie was going to make a move on him but he instead gives him the fish
Having just finished the show, it's crazy seeing season 1 scenes where Tony is a little more light hearted and less stressed out and Junior is there-all-the-way and actually feels like a guy in charge with power. Livia is the best antagonist too btw.
@@tonylovesducks2501 looking back in retrospect, I do actually. It's the art of film/tv making. Little subtleties. As Tony's life gets more and more stressful and dangerous, his world gets darker
@@jacklempke7779 I was actually disappointed when she died because she was such a great antagonist. Yeah she was just an old lady but her power was in her ability to manipulate people and put on an act that she was helpless and couldn't be a threat to anyone. She was supposedly supposed to testify against Tony in season 3 and while s3's plotlines were great, I would've LOVED a slow burn plot over multiple seasons where Livia is the puppet master manipulating the events of the show over time. For example, instead of Paulie, she could've somehow been the one to get the word to Johnny Sack about the joke about his wife. She would've been a great asset to the Lupertazzi family had she lived until s6 and Tony somehow won the case in which she would've testified against him. The show was incredible the way it was, but had the actress for Livia never died, I wonder what we wouldve gotten. Probably the greatest TV antagonist of all time
@@theelightbearer4254 I think the fact that we each have such strong opinions about her performance is a testament to the actress and how well she played the role. Well said!
Its a comforting idea that the last we see of Paulie, he's sat outside Satriale's, accompanied by the cat he suspected as being a reincarnated Christopher. No matter how many times those two bickered and hurt each other, they could never escape the dynamic they both had with one another
As a fellow fat dude I appreciated when tony went back for it. The food waste inthis show, the food fights, pies in the face, carm throwing out the pasta for the priest, the ziti from Bobby's late wife,(that one I understand), Tony dumping aj's cereal. The list goes on. But again tony grabbing the pizza is such a fat guy move, respect
5:20 there’s really nothing better than those spontaneous moments of bonding/just hanging out with your dad. Genuinely making you feel like a real person that he wants to be around and not just his little kid ❤️

I never get tired of watching and always pickup something new. Its very very deep and I'm sure if you're here you know what I mean. With the way the ending of the series was there was always a remote slim chance they'd be back but after James G passed in real life it can't happen but I don't think I'll ever tire of it. I can't believe its been 15 years since it ended. Thanks again.
Sopranos was amazing Gandolfini was brilliant as Tony .Seeing Tony Soprano gradually become darker and unable to stop the dark and darker decent down the road of all the mobster before him was captivating and realistic for me its ranked very high on one of the best TV shows of all time. Watching it again reminds me how great everyone was on Sopranos!
Completely. I am in my 40’s (English) still watch this show through every year or so. Think I know most episodes off by heart - best show ever made by miles.
@@dawnguard6472 I agree mate 👍I am 40 it's captivating and realistic what I really enjoyed about the program is that Gandolfini and the cast made so realistic sometimes ,it would feel as if you just were witnessing true events that's to say it could been real .
@@stanleydubois7117 yes. Sure on the ‘Talking Sopranos’ podcast they mentioned that the real mob thought they were under surveillance and tipped off the writers as it was so realistic. Great listen if you’ve not - the last episode with David Chase is a must watch.
Just the fact that people still comment and show love to the sopranos only speaks to the impact this show had. I’m only 23, my dad said to watch it and oh boy I finally know why this is such a classic.
That first therapist Melfi went to with her family was hilarious. Always love seeing that guy on a rewatch. Wish he appeared more throughout the series.
I was about 15 when the last episode aired. I didn't watch the show until a few years later, but I can remember my parents watching it every week. And I'll never forget the ending of the last episode. I heard the Journey song playing through the speakers as I walked by the living room, so I stopped in to watch for a minute. I wasn't familiar with the story. I had seen a few funny scenes here and there, and I had heard a little about the story throughout the years; so the significance of the events happening in relation to the story was lost on me but the tension of the scene was universal. I was glued to the screen, and then when it cut to black, all three of us said "Hey!" in unison. My parents thought the direct tv(or whatever service it was) had gone out. My pops stood up to get the remote and see if it could be fixed and then it happened. The credits started rolling. My Mom said she wasn't sure how she felt about it. I said something about cliffhangers or next season and she said "Nope, that's the end. Maybe they are going to make a movie." And my Pops, who had been standing in silence looked at my Mom amd just said "Cancel HBO." Hahahahaha, good laughs any time I think about it. R.I.P. Pop. He actually was the Gary Cooper strong and silent type. Grew up on a farm in a life as far from NY/NJ as possible. My Mom is from Brooklyn. Got the best of both worlds. All ya'll folks out there, keep it classy, and stay frosty. Keep your hips loose and your head on a swivel.
This is by far the most wholesome and well written comment I’ve probably ever read thank you so much for sharing that for some reason or another it gave me a lot of nostalgia I was 13 when the last episode aired and my parents watched it as well …they had me in their teens but now that I think back to it they were indeed very mature and advanced mentally for their age…I miss the early 2000s what a time.
Back in it's day, this was known as "The Greatest Show On Television" and James Gandolfini was known as "The Godfather Of Television." What in unbelievably incredible series, my favorite show to ever exist.
I actually preferred "The Sopranos" to Coppola's "Godfather" movie series. Tony's crew had more heart, and a sense of humor. There's a reason that show has the fan following that it does today, even after it finished. All the ducks were in a row. Script writing, directing, casting, acting, all top notch. Not one bad episode in the entire run. How many TV series can boast having not one crap or "filler" episode? Never has there been a TV series like this one... and I'd say that the odds aren't good for ever seeing one like this again. "Sopranos" set the standard, for rough, gritty, yet at times side splittingly hilarious Italian-American 'family' relations! When it was rough, it was like a horseshoe rasp... but when it was time to bust balls? My god, those guys made me laugh!
@@curtisboswell2619 I completely agree with everything you said. Now that I think of it, I don't ever remember watching a crappy "filler" episode. Everything was always within the progression of the storyline and there was never a dull moment. Everything that happened in each episode was completely necessary and impeccable to the story. Pure brilliance and execution.
@@FreedomOnALeash1776 there were plenty of dull moments and fillers in Sopranos, like the family related stuff, especialy about Meadow and AJ. Only good scenes were Mafia stuff and Melfi scenes, and Occasionaly family stcenes - very rarely though
@@PolishGod1234 I wouldn't call them dull filler moments, they were there to show the ironic depth of love and humanity that a mob boss is capable of feeling, especially toward his family, along with his level of vulnerability regarding his mental health. Those were some of the main aspects of the show that set The Saprono's apart from every other mob show and movie. It brought into account that mobsters had actual lives to live and families to tend to outside of the mafia. It disected the notion that even ruthless mobsters have feelings, because they do indeed feel emotions like any other human being, no matter how heinous their actions may be. They may lack empathy, but at their human core, they still experience emotions nonetheless. It brought a very real and unique feeling to the show. I believe every moment that most people would consider "filler moments" were simply part of a bigger picture that most people weren't ready to acknowledge regarding the world of the mob. It painted a bigger picture, or rather shined some light on a larger idea, that most if not all other pieces of mobster entertainment failed to address. That's not to say that any of the other mob shows or movies weren't absolute masterpieces, but frankly, they were pretty much always the same idea with the same depth of thinking. The Saprono's set itself apart with plenty of these necessary moments that most people would call "filler" moments. It told a bigger story and I found it to be very interesting and unique to the world of the mafia. You truly have to have a healthy level of empathy in order to feel sympathy for a mobster, and The Soprano's does a great job at taking into consideration, that even people who are in the mafia, just like people who are trapped in the gang life, aren't always evil at their core. As hard as that may be to accept and understand. There's always a bigger picture, and The Saprono's does a great job at shedding light on it. If you're watching this show in hopes of getting that same classic mafia fix that you get from watching The Godfather or Goodfellas, you're in the wrong place. The Saprono's tells a bigger story, and if you didn't get the memo from the first season alone, then I don't know what to tell you. For God's sake, the very first scene in the very first episide, he's sitting in a shrinks office. This obviously isn't your classic shoot em up mobster movie, and it you found any of the family moments pointless, then this show is not for you. There's nothing wrong with the show, you're just expecting something different than what it's meant to offer. Plain and simple. People who bash this show fail to understand it completely.
Whats amazing is every single episode was flawless. Imagine growing up at the time this was coming out weekly? Jheeze, those must have been the golden days
When I was younger I really didn't have the right mentality to appreciate this show, but now...😙🤌One of THE best shows ever made. Amazing writing and acting.
Exactly it came out whole I was in high school but it wasn't until the later seasons that I went back and truly enjoyed the earlier seasons to watch in order
“I had a semester and a half of college, so I understand Freud and the concept of therapy” absolutely hilarious and perfectly encapsulates people who think higher education is so trivial
@@bryanadkins2944 well not everyone has to get such a targeted degree. Look at how divided our country has become over topics such as public health, media literacy, critical thinking, history, conspiracy theories, etc. We clearly have an education problem.
Any man who calmly walks away after just planting a bomb but still be a law abiding citizen to stop at the crosswalk and look both ways before crossing the street is a great man
A fearless leader with extremely loyal fearless friends... is a helluva thing, isn't it? I'm 60... The Sopranos is the best Mafia series ever made. Period.
Sopranos was the first, and then there was a better wave with the likes of Breaking Bad and Vikings. 2022 smashes the shows that were better than Sopranos. It was the first, but certainly not the best.
@@stardaggerrihannsu2363 The Sopranos have opened the way for the other series you mentioned, especially Breaking Bad. Even Brian Cranston stated it : "Without Tony Soprano there would never have been Walter White."
The Sopranos ,The Wire & Bordwalk Empire and Mad Men , they were the best ones HBO made, The Sopranos and The Wire were the most realistic, still to be beat.
I've watched this show so much, all the way through and also clips on youtube and only now did it truly sink in, how good the fighting choreography is. It all looks hella real. No stunt doubles either, (as far as i can tell). Tony vs Ralphie and Tony vs Bobby Bacala was super intense and believable.
It's not as bad as you think, I was drunk one night and tried to spray some ants and the can was pointed at my face, my eyes were swollen for a couple of days but nothing too bad!!! And no I wasn't wearing socks!!!
It's because Sopranos is character study show. Breaking Bad is about the story. Still think BrBa is better crafted show - directing, writing, cinematography, action, pacing, ideas, musicetc. But both are my favourite shows
@@PolishGod1234 i think cinematography in brba is way better, especially in the later seasons, but i have to agree with the other guy that the sopranos is overall better, the characters, for me, have much more depth and are more iconic in my opinion. it also has wittier writing if that makes sense. both are really good series.
@@joacoseoane imo Sopranos is better for re-watching, as its far more episodic, while BrBa follows the story in every episode. However BrBa is better for me as it feels like it has constantly new ideas, each season feels diffrent and introduces stuff that were not seen before, each new action sequence is fresh, it has no unnecesary filler and seasons proggresively get better while innSopranos seasons 1 and 3 were the peak of the series - season 1 had the best story and dynamic (Livia + Junior) while season 3 has the best episodes. Sopranos is my second favourite show, but what drags it down is that it reuses plotlines like FBI informant, goomars, new villains getting out of prison just to keep the story going, unnecesary sex scenes that don't really add anything etc. Both great shows though, but I think BrBa has more artistic vision
@Séverine Rosalia M. So? Everyone uses this reasoning to imply Sopranos is better than BrBa. Just because it came out first and influenced it doesn't make it better quality-wise
@@PolishGod1234I like how they handled season transitions in Sopranos better than Breaking Bad. The transition from S4 to S5, particularly, I felt was very weak in Breaking Bad, and if we are talking about filler, that episode where they use magnets to destroy the police evidence was just that. In my opinion, Walt should have been portrayed as much more malicious and manipulative and violent at the beginning of S5, threatening Jessie to continue to work for him. Instead, they all just sort of continued working together, and then broke up, which just seemed like the opposite sort of arc they’d been working on the previous 4 seasons. Walt was supposed to turn from innocent noobie, to experienced cook, to power hungry madman, and once he finally dethroned Gus, Jessie was supposed to try and quit the life, like they just escaped it all, and Walt was supposed to go insane, and forcibly keep Jessie in and claim his seat on the throne. The only Sopranos arc that I didn’t particularly like was Blundetto, mostly because I didn’t like Steve Buscemi’s acting. The rest was amazing.
Jesus... the whole show in over an hour! Love it! Thank you for making and posting this... a lot of effort went into making this. I really appreciate it! Thanks again! Excellent!
@@raymondsims7042 the wire was fantastic. It’s a matter of opinion. For my money it’s the Sopranos. The single most iconic figure ever is Tony. The rest is subjective. Wire was great.
@@michaelcavallacci2945 even what you’re saying about tony soprano is subjective. But I respect the opinion I just think the wire has a more profound message and more to say about the world, better plot lines, world building, characters, story arcs etc… I don’t think a show (and I’ve seen a lot) is close to the wire.The sopranos is certainly a masterpiece and I respect your opinion
This is one of the bes shows ever. I remember watching it with my family and friends. Every Sunday night we would all set together and eat popcorn watching Sopranos. The actors in this show were amazingly talented, and the writers were just as good. One of the beat episodes for me was when Chris and Paulie got lost in the woods with the Russian dude. It was defiantly the funniest episode in the series.
I'm 29 and just thinking about being very little, half seeing bright frames and upbeat music from the first season in the other room when I was too young to watch, to the dark blue almost black glow that the last episodes radiated (on like my 4th or 5th rewatch) made me deeply sad. Really really good series
It was funny, but the scene itself as a whole was heartbreaking. The only time we see Junior being genuinely happy was when he was with her, and after this it was all downhill.
It’s wild how insecure dudes were about going down on a woman. I remember this being a very real thing that if a guy gave his girl head, he was considered gay. Nowadays, those same dudes who would admonish giving head are now proud to eat ass. Lol
One of the best shows of all time, James Gandolfini is phenomenal. People also hate the finale, but I think it's absolutely perfect... you know damn well what happens, you see it from Tony's perspective, and like a light switch, cut to black. RIP
Yeah, and his deadpan "She gave me my first hand-job..." "Oh, wait, what am I saying at this woman's wake...?" Ah, fond remembrances... A man never forgets his first!
Apparently the guy who played Bobby walked into the room holding a giant black dildo because they needed James to really crack up. And it worked as we saw
The older I get, I realize there will never be another show such as this one. This "best moments" made me realize what a masterpiece this series was. The actors were brilliantly cast, and the writers....god bless them! We can only dream that something will again be written so well, and portrayed on the screen like this series.

@@notsocrates9529 See - you can watch it over and over and always find something new that you missed.
9:41 is a genuinely funny and heartwarming moment. Pity there are too few.
Sounds like James tossed in that second euphemism and it took Edie by surprise, but she played off it really well. Both of their laughs were genuine.
there are many

There will NEVER be another show like The Sopranos
Sopranos was amazing Gandolfini was brilliant as Tony .Seeing Tony Soprano gradually become darker and unable to stop the dark and darker decent down the road of all the mobster before him was captivating and realistic for me its ranked very high on one of the best TV shows of all time. Watching it again reminds me how great everyone was on Sopranos!
Somebody called me a Frankenstein today.
Completely. I am in my 40’s (English) still watch this show through every year or so. Think I know most episodes off by heart - best show ever made by miles.
@@dawnguard6472 I agree mate 👍I am 40 it's captivating and realistic what I really enjoyed about the program is that Gandolfini and the cast made so realistic sometimes ,it would feel as if you just were witnessing true events that's to say it could been real .
@@stanleydubois7117 yes. Sure on the ‘Talking Sopranos’ podcast they mentioned that the real mob thought they were under surveillance and tipped off the writers as it was so realistic. Great listen if you’ve not - the last episode with David Chase is a must watch.

Ha I like chris

Paulie is the unsung hero. The way he repeats jokes, the medium scene and when he calls David Chase a cocksucker LOL
Just the fact that people still comment and show love to the sopranos only speaks to the impact this show had. I’m only 23, my dad said to watch it and oh boy I finally know why this is such a classic.
They were
13:43 That's the funniest part. Paulie is so pleased with himself
he repeats the joke as if they aren’t sitting at the same table lmao
1:01:14 beautiful transition
They could never even try to replicate this show. What a genius David Chase is and a fantastic actor James Gandolfini (sadly) was.
That first therapist Melfi went to with her family was hilarious. Always love seeing that guy on a rewatch. Wish he appeared more throughout the series.
30:26 the subplot of the cellphones not working always made me laugh. Pine barrens was the best episode by far.
The Sopranos is both the best drama and best comedy show to ever air on television
I was about 15 when the last episode aired. I didn't watch the show until a few years later, but I can remember my parents watching it every week. And I'll never forget the ending of the last episode. I heard the Journey song playing through the speakers as I walked by the living room, so I stopped in to watch for a minute. I wasn't familiar with the story. I had seen a few funny scenes here and there, and I had heard a little about the story throughout the years; so the significance of the events happening in relation to the story was lost on me but the tension of the scene was universal. I was glued to the screen, and then when it cut to black, all three of us said "Hey!" in unison. My parents thought the direct tv(or whatever service it was) had gone out. My pops stood up to get the remote and see if it could be fixed and then it happened. The credits started rolling. My Mom said she wasn't sure how she felt about it. I said something about cliffhangers or next season and she said "Nope, that's the end. Maybe they are going to make a movie." And my Pops, who had been standing in silence looked at my Mom amd just said "Cancel HBO." Hahahahaha, good laughs any time I think about it. R.I.P. Pop. He actually was the Gary Cooper strong and silent type. Grew up on a farm in a life as far from NY/NJ as possible. My Mom is from Brooklyn. Got the best of both worlds. All ya'll folks out there, keep it classy, and stay frosty. Keep your hips loose and your head on a swivel.
This is by far the most wholesome and well written comment I’ve probably ever read thank you so much for sharing that for some reason or another it gave me a lot of nostalgia I was 13 when the last episode aired and my parents watched it as well …they had me in their teens but now that I think back to it they were indeed very mature and advanced mentally for their age…I miss the early 2000s what a time.

27:25 is truly one of the funniest moments in the sopranos. Seeing junior mess up using a blender then what he says after is just hilarious 😂
"Ya sisters c..." lmao gets me everytime
Paulie's line at 26:56 always gets me. "Before and way before"😂😂
I still think about it randomly and laugh from time to time 😂
Probably the funniest joke in the whole show.

Back in it's day, this was known as "The Greatest Show On Television" and James Gandolfini was known as "The Godfather Of Television." What in unbelievably incredible series, my favorite show to ever exist.
I actually preferred "The Sopranos" to Coppola's "Godfather" movie series. Tony's crew had more heart, and a sense of humor. There's a reason that show has the fan following that it does today, even after it finished. All the ducks were in a row. Script writing, directing, casting, acting, all top notch. Not one bad episode in the entire run. How many TV series can boast having not one crap or "filler" episode? Never has there been a TV series like this one... and I'd say that the odds aren't good for ever seeing one like this again. "Sopranos" set the standard, for rough, gritty, yet at times side splittingly hilarious Italian-American 'family' relations! When it was rough, it was like a horseshoe rasp... but when it was time to bust balls? My god, those guys made me laugh!
@@curtisboswell2619 I completely agree with everything you said. Now that I think of it, I don't ever remember watching a crappy "filler" episode. Everything was always within the progression of the storyline and there was never a dull moment. Everything that happened in each episode was completely necessary and impeccable to the story. Pure brilliance and execution.
@@curtisboswell2619 not one bad episode? Idk, the episode a "Hit is a Hit" and that episode about Jew not afraid of death kinda sucked
@@FreedomOnALeash1776 there were plenty of dull moments and fillers in Sopranos, like the family related stuff, especialy about Meadow and AJ. Only good scenes were Mafia stuff and Melfi scenes, and Occasionaly family stcenes - very rarely though
@@PolishGod1234 I wouldn't call them dull filler moments, they were there to show the ironic depth of love and humanity that a mob boss is capable of feeling, especially toward his family, along with his level of vulnerability regarding his mental health. Those were some of the main aspects of the show that set The Saprono's apart from every other mob show and movie. It brought into account that mobsters had actual lives to live and families to tend to outside of the mafia. It disected the notion that even ruthless mobsters have feelings, because they do indeed feel emotions like any other human being, no matter how heinous their actions may be. They may lack empathy, but at their human core, they still experience emotions nonetheless. It brought a very real and unique feeling to the show. I believe every moment that most people would consider "filler moments" were simply part of a bigger picture that most people weren't ready to acknowledge regarding the world of the mob. It painted a bigger picture, or rather shined some light on a larger idea, that most if not all other pieces of mobster entertainment failed to address. That's not to say that any of the other mob shows or movies weren't absolute masterpieces, but frankly, they were pretty much always the same idea with the same depth of thinking. The Saprono's set itself apart with plenty of these necessary moments that most people would call "filler" moments. It told a bigger story and I found it to be very interesting and unique to the world of the mafia. You truly have to have a healthy level of empathy in order to feel sympathy for a mobster, and The Soprano's does a great job at taking into consideration, that even people who are in the mafia, just like people who are trapped in the gang life, aren't always evil at their core. As hard as that may be to accept and understand. There's always a bigger picture, and The Saprono's does a great job at shedding light on it. If you're watching this show in hopes of getting that same classic mafia fix that you get from watching The Godfather or Goodfellas, you're in the wrong place. The Saprono's tells a bigger story, and if you didn't get the memo from the first season alone, then I don't know what to tell you. For God's sake, the very first scene in the very first episide, he's sitting in a shrinks office. This obviously isn't your classic shoot em up mobster movie, and it you found any of the family moments pointless, then this show is not for you. There's nothing wrong with the show, you're just expecting something different than what it's meant to offer. Plain and simple. People who bash this show fail to understand it completely.
10:52 one of the greatest lines ever 😂😂😂

This compilation is as well-edited as the show. Thank you

Thats literally the point
I’m currently watching this show right now and I just can’t get enough of it. This is definitely in my top 3 favorite shows of all time.
What are your other two? I finally watched this recently and it instantly jumped to my favorite
I love the scenes where tony is just being a father to his kids shows hes not just a one-note monster i love shows that does that
When I was younger I really didn't have the right mentality to appreciate this show, but now...😙🤌One of THE best shows ever made. Amazing writing and acting.
Exactly it came out whole I was in high school but it wasn't until the later seasons that I went back and truly enjoyed the earlier seasons to watch in order
AYYYY🤌🤌

I am 65 years old and this was the best television series I ever saw. Outstanding.
Since then, nothing has come close to it IMO
Loved the Sapronos, there will never be another series like it. RIP Tony. Great actor in many different roles.
Tany Sapronos, nice to meet you
Sopranos was the first, and then there was a better wave with the likes of Breaking Bad and Vikings. 2022 smashes the shows that were better than Sopranos. It was the first, but certainly not the best.
@@stardaggerrihannsu2363 The Sopranos have opened the way for the other series you mentioned, especially Breaking Bad. Even Brian Cranston stated it : "Without Tony Soprano there would never have been Walter White."
@@stardaggerrihannsu2363 your nuts if you think Breaking Bad or any show comes close to the sopranos, u must love meth
The Sopranos ,The Wire & Bordwalk Empire and Mad Men , they were the best ones HBO made, The Sopranos and The Wire were the most realistic, still to be beat.
The GOAT. There will never be another one like it. Thanks for posting this.
I've watched this show so much, all the way through and also clips on youtube and only now did it truly sink in, how good the fighting choreography is. It all looks hella real. No stunt doubles either, (as far as i can tell). Tony vs Ralphie and Tony vs Bobby Bacala was super intense and believable.
"John I'm here at the federal courthouse where reputed mob boss Corrado Soprano just fell 9..no..7 steps." lol
"God what am I saying at this poor woman's wake?" Best line in the series 😂😂😂

When tony sees the uncle bens in his cabinet and passes out is beyond funny to me
For the sheer number of iconic characters alone, The Sopranos reigns supreme over Breaking Bad (which is an unbelievably good show in its own right).
It's because Sopranos is character study show. Breaking Bad is about the story. Still think BrBa is better crafted show - directing, writing, cinematography, action, pacing, ideas, musicetc.
But both are my favourite shows
@@PolishGod1234 i think cinematography in brba is way better, especially in the later seasons, but i have to agree with the other guy that the sopranos is overall better, the characters, for me, have much more depth and are more iconic in my opinion. it also has wittier writing if that makes sense. both are really good series.
@@joacoseoane imo Sopranos is better for re-watching, as its far more episodic, while BrBa follows the story in every episode. However BrBa is better for me as it feels like it has constantly new ideas, each season feels diffrent and introduces stuff that were not seen before, each new action sequence is fresh, it has no unnecesary filler and seasons proggresively get better while innSopranos seasons 1 and 3 were the peak of the series - season 1 had the best story and dynamic (Livia + Junior) while season 3 has the best episodes.
Sopranos is my second favourite show, but what drags it down is that it reuses plotlines like FBI informant, goomars, new villains getting out of prison just to keep the story going, unnecesary sex scenes that don't really add anything etc. Both great shows though, but I think BrBa has more artistic vision
@Séverine Rosalia M. So? Everyone uses this reasoning to imply Sopranos is better than BrBa. Just because it came out first and influenced it doesn't make it better quality-wise
@@PolishGod1234I like how they handled season transitions in Sopranos better than Breaking Bad. The transition from S4 to S5, particularly, I felt was very weak in Breaking Bad, and if we are talking about filler, that episode where they use magnets to destroy the police evidence was just that. In my opinion, Walt should have been portrayed as much more malicious and manipulative and violent at the beginning of S5, threatening Jessie to continue to work for him. Instead, they all just sort of continued working together, and then broke up, which just seemed like the opposite sort of arc they’d been working on the previous 4 seasons. Walt was supposed to turn from innocent noobie, to experienced cook, to power hungry madman, and once he finally dethroned Gus, Jessie was supposed to try and quit the life, like they just escaped it all, and Walt was supposed to go insane, and forcibly keep Jessie in and claim his seat on the throne. The only Sopranos arc that I didn’t particularly like was Blundetto, mostly because I didn’t like Steve Buscemi’s acting. The rest was amazing.
Jesus... the whole show in over an hour! Love it! Thank you for making and posting this... a lot of effort went into making this. I really appreciate it! Thanks again! Excellent!
I’m only a few years younger than JG was in the first season and he still looks like my elder. Something about him exudes instant respect.

@@michaelcavallacci2945 even what you’re saying about tony soprano is subjective.

I should watch this anytime I want to amp myself up for the day
58:47 love how the next clip switches to him shooting the rabbit outta anger
This is one of the bes shows ever. I remember watching it with my family and friends. Every Sunday night we would all set together and eat popcorn watching Sopranos. The actors in this show were amazingly talented, and the writers were just as good. One of the beat episodes for me was when Chris and Paulie got lost in the woods with the Russian dude. It was defiantly the funniest episode in the series.
What a trip down memory lane, thanks for the recap 25 years later
I'm 29 and just thinking about being very little, half seeing bright frames and upbeat music from the first season in the other room when I was too young to watch, to the dark blue almost black glow that the last episodes radiated (on like my 4th or 5th rewatch) made me deeply sad. Really really good series

It was funny, but the scene itself as a whole was heartbreaking. The only time we see Junior being genuinely happy was when he was with her, and after this it was all downhill.
