The Sopranos is the greatest TV show ever

The Wire was better.

Tell all you like. Doesn't make it right.

If only Boards.ie had some kind of Television forum to discuss such matters.

I have been saying for years that I must binge watch it because I know it's a show that I'd like but just haven't got round to it.

When i see pictures of James Gandolfini, he is not yet Tony Soprano in my mind. I think of Virgil from True Romance.

Soproanos was not even the best thing on HBO.

Truth told I'm not a nexflixer/ Boxsetter. But yes The Sopranos is defo the best bar none. (except maybe Frasier, says him who's about to watch sky-plussed The Wire)..

You're wrong OP.

Season 2 of The Hardy Bucks is

I just finished watching seasons 4,5,6.. and it's very very good.. but, the kids and Carmella are just too ****ing whiny, it really becomes a pain to have to watch their scenes which don't even go anywhere

Also Janice. She's great at making herself hated, but because she never really gets a comeuppance she just becomes annoying.

I'm conflicted between Sopranos and Breaking Bad as to which one is my own favourite.

stateofflux

it pales in comparison to the character depth and complex overarching narratives of Red Rock.

I haven't seen any of the shows mentioned so far bar Breaking Bad.
I'm on season 2 of that.

I find generally the shows that people tend to harp on about are overrated.

Enjoying Breaking Bad so far but not the masterpiece that people claim it to be.

The Larry Sanders show is one of the greatest of all time

How can you say it's not a masterpiece and you haven't finished watching it all yet?

IMO from season 3 it really takes off.

Reserve your judgement till you have finished and see do you change your mind. 😉

The Backwards Man

If I was a mafia kingpin with millions in illicit cash to hide away, the fcuking paperboy would come up my fcuking drive with the fcuking paper!
Killed the show for me.

I can have an opinion on what I've seen so far.
It might change as time goes on but I can still have one.

The high horse brigade

The Sopranos was great but it also killed two other great shows that should have been given their third and final seasons, Deadwood and Carnivale. HBO robbed the budget for the other shows to pump into The Sopranos

the Soprano's is brilliant but I think The Wire and The Shield were better.

The Shield is massively underrated , Michael Chiklis performance is brilliant and the season with Forrest Whittaker is one of the great duels in television history.

Season 2 of The Wire is the greatest season in the history of television.

Unearthly

It was way ahead of anything else at its time. I'd probably hold The Wire ahead of it. That didn't get dragged down with family drama for the most part

Going through it all again for the god knows how many time. On season 2 at the minute. The simmering beef between these two in that season is brilliant

Dirty Dingus McGee

Carmela Soprano really is one of the most unlikeable despicable characters in television history.

Noddyholder

Yea for me the wire was better, though I did like the sopranos, wasn't to much gone on breaking bad, maybe my expectations went to high.

I love that show. If you haven't watched Justified yet, do. Walton Goggins is even better in that than in The Shield.

Conchir

The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Band of Brothers.

I don't put too much thought into which of them I preferred, they were all fantastic. Choosing a favourite doesn't matter really.

Must give Justified a watch.It's based on an Elmore Leonard book and I love Elmore Leonard so, I'll put it on my list.

Goggins was brilliant in the Shield.Just such a complete asshole.
