I finally got around to the Sopranos. It was good. Definitely worth the time if you haven’t seen it.
The show definitely changed the game. Think Model T changed the game. But like the T it eventually got outrun. The newer great shows that get after it are a lot tighter. There were a lot of hours of film that really didn’t mean anything other than a look into the life of a gangster. Compare that with Perry Mason for instance where every detail in ever scene means something.
Gandolfini of course killed. Virtually everyone they got to be italian really did a great job of not making it hokey. Because there is a lot of hokey shit they do but pull it off because Italy. They do a real nice job showing the Contrast between the life Carmella lives and how that life is financed.
Of course some of the technology didn’t age well but whatever.
Last they did a great job with the food. There wasn’t a dish on there that I wouldn’t have loved to have.
