Worst poster here Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Just about done the Sopranos now, a few episodes into the final season. It holds up well and has aged nicely, but not the fastest or most surprising storyline. Spoiler A lot of parallels to a more realistic version of Breaking Bad. Antiheroes who become more dislikable over the course of it - although Tony was always a terrible person from the get go. Both involved collapses of their marriages as a result.

Patient #48273 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I finished season 2 of The White Lotus last night. I liked it, but I think it was a bit overhyped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cum Back Tom Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Sopranos just sounds boring to me. I want to watch it, it's always regarded highly. Just kind of looks predictable, mob stuff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invaluable Nonbinosaur Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Anyone watched Wednesday? I watched one episode and thought it was lame. Everyone seems to have wet themselves over it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kind of looks predictable, mob stuff? Watch it for the characters and less for the storyline. They flesh them out a lot and they’re all pretty 3 dimensional. Just watch the pilot; it’s one of the best pilots I’ve seen and should hook you, and if it doesn’t, the show isn’t for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the show, but season 4 was fairly slow. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s just something I noticed. And it’s definitely fairly predictable in the later season Spoiler Ralphy getting killed was predictable, albeit not at Tony’s hands. Same with Tony making a move on his psychologist. I’m pretty sure Adriana and, to a lesser extent, Christopher, are going to get killed. Adriana for being a snitch and getting caught, Christopher because he’s a careless idiot. I think Tony gets killed as well, he’s on a downward slope and seems to be making more enemies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Spoiler all of the butterfly effect bullshit that happened could have been avoided if Ralph simply didn't tell that fat joke about Ginny at dinner that one night haha I'm not commenting on all the predictions, but it's definitely getting more grim, the first 3 seasons are almost light hearted compared to the rest of the show, but let me know how you'll feel about the next seasons! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Bagel Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 It's the greatest character study ever. Not just a character study, though. It has the most poignant things to say about mental health, family, life's meaning... Best use of music in TV, ever. Every episode makes me hungry as well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just so meticulous in everything it does. Everything is important, even the comedy holds a lot of significance. The perfect character study and it's not just a character study of Tony, it's basically a character study of almost all the people we see. This show just stays with you.

I appreciate you not spoiling anything! Spoiler As for the butterfly effect - it also would have been avoided if they had visited Paulie more often when he was in prison. 13 minutes ago, _Bagel said: It's the greatest character study ever.

And every episode makes me want a cigar haha literally every 5-10 mins someone smokes one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole show is coke, orange juice and alcohol haha I also read on Reddit that there is a huge Facebook group of Sopranos fans called Members Only where most of the people skip the Melfi scenes because they love the show just for the mafia stuff, but those scenes are one of the foundational elements of the show. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol that’s a good point about water. I noticed pretty quickly that the show has tons of product placement, doesn’t bother me but it definitely is noticeable. That’s insane about Members Only! Those scenes are some of my favourite of the show. If anyone is going for a rewatch, I’ve heard the actors who play Christopher and Bobby do a podcast together where they watch episodes and provide commentary about their experiences on the show. Might be fun to try listening to it while you have the show on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott. Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Did anyone finish 1899? I’ve seen it’s been cancelled and I have 3 eps left. Is it worth finishing? Does it give some sort of ending or completely wide open for another season before it obviously got cancelled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
