So I Just Finished The Sopranos

[Day2]

He definitely does.

But he also is an artist that doesn’t miss a detail, everything is by design, and every single morsel of the show has meaning.

The clues to the answers are all there.

Works both ways.

 

[NateW]

Works both ways.

I know all the clues about why he’s dead. (Which I could go through but I’ll assume you know them as well.).

What are the clues that he’s alive.

Loved Sopranos but if you want another show this involves mob/mafia where expect the unexpected and keeps you wondering what will actually happen is Gomorrah. They are working on season 5 now, season 4 was just put on HBO Max today. They are working in a movie as well. This series is well worth binging. Also do yourself a favor and watch with subtitles and not the dubbed versions. Check it out.

Aside from the fact you don’t see (or hear) him get killed? It’s more meta.

Series finales are difficult to execute (no pun intended) successfully. I don’t remember all of the dialogue, but there’s an exchange between Tony and AJ that essentially translates to, “This show isn’t about the ending. Just remember the good times.” You know, what made the series great.

Then there’s the choice of song. Look at the lyrics. “Oh, the movie never ends. It goes on and on, and on, and on.” And what do you hear right before the cut to black? “Don’t stop.” Don’t end the show (but they had to).

To take it a step further, everything Bobby and the other characters said about dying can still work within the context of the finale... only we’re the ones getting whacked.

the thing that always got me is that even though Bobby says “you never see it coming” if Tonybdies at the end shouldn’t you see it from his pint of view?

Would the fact that Tony could’ve/should’ve died several other times in the show and didn’t be considered a clue?

A clue that he lives or dies?

I took the ending to let us feel Tony's paranoia at the idea that he'll never see it coming--except that he ALWAYS sees it coming--causing him to live in an eternal state of dread.

And now the rest of television is ruined forever. I don’t think I’ve watched a show that comes close to the masterpiece I just watched.

(Yes I’m aware I’m 15 years late but I wasn’t even in preschool when it started and never thought to watch until HBO Max)

take Boardwalk Empire for stroll.

I saw somewhere that Cillian Murphy is being considered as Craig’s replacement as James Bond.

It is funny. My wife had never watched Peaky Blinders and recently just started. She was mad at me for not telling her about it sooner. LOL

Richard Harrow is one of my favorite characters ever

Don't watch the episode that flashes back to when Jimmy's mom visits him at college.

Just don't.

Just don't.

Her actions are objectively abhorrent




BUT



she’s so hot

I've mentioned it before but watch Gomorrah I think it's right up there with Sopranos.

 

[Brooky03]

My wife and I have been slowly getting through Soprano’s. We’ll watch it for a few weeks, then leave it for a bit and come back.

It’s good, but we’ve both had the sense that it’s a show you needed to watch in the moment. There’s a noticeable dip in the production value vs good shows now, which is understandable.

Spoiler: the first attempted murder of Tony was laughably choreographed/executed.

I rewatch the show often and I never feel like it is dated. How action sequences are choreographed is of little consequence to me so it might be a blind spot. To me, the appeal of the show is the human drama and character development.
