      That's because the writing was so fucking incredible it felt real. Just the tiny things like being able to read facial expressions made you feel like this was something real, not just a show.

      Chad Kroeger my dad let me join him in watching the show when I turned 10. The Mafia fascinated me from a very young age. My dad never had problems letting me watch a violent crime show/movie, but violent video games were taboo to him. He still hates that I play GTA games. We always watch The Sopranos together though. One of the few times he cried in his life was when James Gandolfini died. He called him “the greatest treasure in entertainment”

      0nePiece98 It's a genuinely good show. The writing quality dipped a bit after S4 but it's still a very good show. It's definitely not the "fast food of US series". Saying that just makes you sound like one of those people that call anything currently popular bad and overrated.

      Asmah Noordin Walter White is an awfully written character and so is Don Draper from season 3 until the end. He's not the one who started it all, he didn't start anything. Chris Carter, Mulder and Scully started "it", they started to make television gold and then television died in 2008, once and for all.

    Jake Black, who has died aged 59, co-founded Alabama 3, the British band known for The Sopranos theme, Woke Up This Morning, which became indelibly linked with the mould-breaking television series about a New Jersey crime family.
    It was by chance, according to most accounts, that David Chase, the creator of The Sopranos, first heard the little-known Brixton-based band on his car radio. He bought their 1997 debut LP Exile on Coldharbour Lane and was immediately taken (“The feel of it was really great”) by the third track, Woke Up This Morning, written by Black and Rob Spragg.

  • @Apollo-tc6sy
    @Apollo-tc6sy 4 роки тому +99

    As everyone else has pointed out, the intro is amazing in it's cinematography. But not only is it fantastic for that reason. but it performs an amazing job at introducing us to the setting of the show. Nearly every single new shot is introducing new information about the context of the show.
    All of the shots at the beginning tell us information about where the show is set. NYC skyline. We know it's in or near NYC. N.J Turkpike. Twin towers in the mirror. Tony. Cigar. Gold chains. Someone of status. The way he takes the ticket. General hostility towards the world. Close up on the cigar. Trucks. Industrial area. Closeup on chains. Cigar smoke in face intro. Working class Neighborhood. Italian shops. Surburbs. Nice House.
    With all this information, from the intro, without ever watching the show we can figure out the show is about a mob boss, working in New Jersey. All without any words.
    It truly is a work of art.

      Not just in the Sopranos. They did it sadly in every movie or tv-show set in New York City. Take for example Sex and the City and Friends. Glad they restored them a few years after, but still disappointing to see not for the remainder. Would have done so much more justice.
