"""I came late to
The Sopranos, never watched the
series on HBO, dipped into a few of the first
episodes last year, but initially wasn't very taken with them. Then in the UK last summer I mentioned watching
The Sopranos to some friends and they told me to try again, that the
series was an enjoyable, layered and serious appraisal of the
society we find ourselves in - or rather, the one we've made for ourselves - a frank
assessment of the moral dilemma we've created.
Once back in this
country, I started to watch seriously, working my way with growing
eagerness through five of the
seasons until a friend's birthday loomed and I decided to share the
pleasure with him (I had watched a few
episodes with him and he was similarly enthralled) and decided to fork over the money to buy the complete
series - two of them, one for him and one for me. I haven't been this absorbed in something so engaging and thought-provoking that was made for
television for decades.
It's gruesome and violent in
places, and for those who have trouble with bad
language this ain't going to be to your
taste, but the cast of
characters, their
relationships with each other, and the
situations they find themselves in really ensnare you, and there's loads of humor. As the
series progresses and the
pressures start to tell on Tony
Soprano and the rest, it feels unrelenting in its lack of
goodwill toward men but it is never boring or unrewarding. This is the best thing since color
television.""
