Will there ever be a show as good as The Sopranos?
No.
yeah it was called Breaking Bad and it was so sublime it made DUDE MAFIA LMAO completely irrelevant
>>68018196
>he likes nothing happens:the show
say whatever you want to make yourself feel better, but sopranos is seriously boring compared to breaking bad.
People just say its the best because they wanna appear smart for being able to watch all that shit, as soon as somebody irl tells me they like the sopranos I automatically know they are dipshits.
At least breaking bad does stuff to keep the viewer excited
>>68018196
Sopranos is not a showIt's an anime
>>68018273
>>68018560
white people waited along time for their chance to be gangsters, and now they won't shut up about it. all that aside, for a show that borrowed so much from the sopranos, it wound up coming nowhere near it.
>>68018589
BAKA TONY!
>>68018196
Six Feet Under comes extremely close.
>>68018910
You have to go back
>>68018196
>The Wire
>Mad Men
>Deadwood
>Six Feet Under
>Seinfeld
>Friends
>NYPD Blue
>Lost
>>68018196
The Wire was close, but no, nothing ever will. It kind of makes me depressed, knowing I'll never experience something like watching The Sopranos for the first time again.
>>68018989
Maybe for like the first 2 or 3 seasons then it goes full retard.
>>68019052
>friends
>>68018196
You mean since "Lost"?
>>68019082
>That episode of Friends when Monica wouldn't shut the door
>>68018196
no more butchie
no more-a this
>>68018196
Only Mad Men, it's spiritual and thematic successor. Otherwise, no.
>>68018196
Whats the word for TV equivalent of Kino? Cuz sopranos is it
>>68019253
This. Cmon OP. Mad Men is better IMO but barely.
>>68019253
I keep hearing this, but from the little I've seen of Mad Men, it seems more focused on style than substance.
>>68019304
>makes a comment about Mad Men
>hasn't seen Mad Men
Maybe watch past the pilot goyim
>>68019331
Sorry, I don't take advice from kikes.
>>68019361
>not taking advice from Jews about television
Its like you like being retarded
>>68019293
Agreed. Tighter, Weiner exerted far more creative control than Chase, writing the vast majority of episodes. Sopranos is GOAT but Mad Men may be a hair GOATer.
>>68019304
You're admittedly naive bro. Again, the themes are essentially the same. Give it a try if you'd like.
>>68019304
Mad Mens biggest merit is the writing, so no.
>>68018560
Holy shit you nailed it. I went into the sopranos expecting gangster things to happen, yet what I got was AJ fucking up at school, Meadow fucking up at college, and Carmela complaining about Tony doing mob boss things even though he's a fucking mob boss.
>>68019466
>bro
Opinion discarded.
>>68019489
>I went into the sopranos expecting gangster things to happen
You went expecting a gangster movie. That was never what The Sopranos was about.
>>68019190
BLOODY COPS ARE BLOODY KEEN

>>68019489
You idiots thinking its boring and needing constant action just shows how pleb and young you are. Get an attention span.
>>68019489
You seem to have missed the point of the show
>>68019489
yeah lmao where were the fuckin explosions n shit that's what I come to see not some fuckin talkin n shit lmao XD
>>68019518
>Opinion discarded.
>Opinion discarded.
>>68019489
I'm good at writing anti-sopranos bait
If you can't recognize the writing in this show as God tier your opinion should be discarded.
>>68019489
good bait
>>68019583
>Opinion discarded.
>Opinion discarded.
Opinion discarded.
>>68019628
thanks it reeled in a few didn't it
>>68018989
just a glorified soap after the first couple of seasons. it could have ended at basically any point and made all of its easily-manipulated fans cry.
>>68019527
>>68019561
Explain why the kids storylines were important to the series. I made it through to Season 6 and they were never anything but a pain in the ass for Tony. You could take those stories out, tweak them a little and put them right into some shitty daytime soap.
>>68019069
watching the Sopranos for the second time is much better than watching it for the first time.
>>68019725
the show was largely about dysfunctional families and the ironic similarities between the mafia 'family' and his own actual family.
>>68019725
throughout the show the kids are being subtly fucked up by Tony and Carmela's mixed messages. Meadow's 4 boyfriends are a study in how her personality slowly deteriorates.
unfortunately, a lot of the fans interpreted dating Noah and yelling at Tony that Italian culture is bullshit in the opposite way that the show intended.
>>68019725
To show the contrast between Tony's criminal life and family life and the effect his actions as a mob boss had on his children and their upbringing. Pretty fucking simple.
>>68019892
>expecting Breaking Babbies to understand anything
kek
>>68019052
>Friends
Haha, oh wow.
>>68020035
I guess no one told you life was gonna be this way
CAZZATA MALANGA
>>68019069
Watch OZ. You'll get the same feeling in the end.
>its a ditsoon episode
>What is The Wire?
>What is The Americans?
The brba fags itt are hilarious.
There will be literally no other show like it
>>68020160
I watched Oz before The Sopranos. Oz was great, but in many ways it feels amateurish when compared to The Sopranos, if only because Oz was the first show to do TV like that.
>>68019796
>>68019860
>>68019892
Hmm ok. I don't know if I like the show any better, but since I made it through most of the show I'll give it another shot.
Cheers Anons for the proper discussion
>>68019796
>>68019860
>>68019892
Yeah, but do we really need to know these things?
>>68019534
TO BLOODY KEEP IT BLOODY CLEAN
>>68020296
The show is about Tony and his family
>>68020296
Parallelism in a narrative serves to reinforce the themes.

show me a scene in BrBa that comes close to the above
>>68019466
>mad men
yeah no
>its a FBI surveillance detail has its upsides episode
lol why is television so inferior to film
>>68020574
I would but the entire BrBa series isn't on youtube
>>68018196
The wire is equal in my opinion but its focused mostly on story and there arent psychological sequences which deepens the character like in sopranos. Mad men comes close and also deadwood.
Rectify you plebs
>>68020936
BrBa would have to use "crazy" mexican druglords or Walt sperging out in the crawlspace of his house
Meanwhile the above scene accomplishes many things in a simple family dinner setting.
>It's a Christopher and Paulie get stranded in the wilderness after fucking up a body disposal episode
>no crazy goomah to have wacky adventures with
;_;
James Ellroy:
'I think Deadwood and Mad Men were intermittently quite wonderful, but often shoddy and veered into incoherence. I saw one or two episodes of The Wire and thought it was bullsh*t. Bad writing. And I have no sympathy for the underclass.'
>>68021201
>people liking this nutjob
Any show is as good as the sopranos. Its shit.
>She was a WHOOO-AAAH!
>all the next level bait ITT
This thread is chummed to the max
