Not only is this show a gripping crime and family drama, but it's also very funny and full of movie/TV references. It's got everything.

Mary watching Sopranos? You know, Quasimodo predicted all this.

I was living in New Jersey when this series was filmed. They really captured the culture in a lot of ways. The mob stuff was outside of my experience, but the language, food and people are spot on. Plus, it’s always fun when you see places you know on television.

I'm 47 and never watch this series. Now on season 3. Just a great series so far :)

My favorite detail of this episode is the maitre d when Tony goes to the restaurant. He brings his girlfriend and the guy says “Mr. Soprano, good to see you.” Then Tony brings Carmela the next night and the guy greets him with “Mr. Soprano, months we don’t see you!”

ready to watch another 86 (including this one) reactions from someone diving into my favorite show of all time

One of my all time favorite series! I hope you enjoy your Sopranos journey!

I really like that you sometimes do software zooms on areas of the screen where things of interest are happening. I know it's extra steps, extra work, but it really adds to the experience. It's like you're saying "Yes, I did notice".

Welcome to The Sopranos. I’ve watched this series at least 10 times, gets better every time!

Some series are over-hyped. But, some live up to it. I believe The Sopranos lives up to the hype and I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I hope you do too. Have a great day, Mary!

Greatest series and especially character study in TV history.... you're in for a hell of a ride, Mary!

So good to see you starting on the Greatest series of all time and is 99% No.1 in most people's Top 5 series of all time. Series 1 is great as it builds a lot of the characters.I haven't watched this in about 10 years.I have the box sets on Dvd,blueray and now on Apple TV bought for convenience.You wont be disappointed and the acting ability of James Galdofini as Tony Soprano is spectacular and the co-star are all 10 out of 10 as well.❤ My top 5 series of all time. 1.The Sopranos 2.The Wire 3.The Good Wife 4.The Shield. 5.House

This is probably redundant to say, but this is such a good show. James Gandolfini deserves all the accolades for his role as Tony Soprano, but Lorraine Bracco is just as great in the role of Dr. Jennifer Melfi.

Ah, I'm so happy to see you diving into The Sopranos! You're one of a handful of reactors I really enjoy watching, and Sopranos is my all-time favorite series. Looking forward to your take on one of, if not _the_ best series, ever. 🦆🦆

Woo hoo hoo hoo! I am SO stoked here in the Pacific Northwest. You surely loved reacting to this. I’ve been watching for a long time and this old lady wishes you the best with your little boy…lucky Mama. Take care! ❤😊🎉

So excited you're doing Sopranos!! (One of the best reactors + one of the greatest shows)

Thank you for finally watching The Sopranos!!

Welcome to the family, Mary

I'm glad that you've started this series! Please continue with it! You won't be disappointed!

You are going to love this series, Mary! It is incredible. Personally, talking about the Sunday episode each week is what introduced me to my future wife.

Didn't watch it back in the day, but I remember the hype (which is probably why I avoided it) BUT, I binge watched the lot during 2020 the Covid year. Bloody love this show!

"Without Tony Soprano, there is no Walter White" - Brian Cranston

I'll certainly follow on this journey It is sometimes preferable to follow one or two shows at a time rather than an entire movie

Great choice, Mary. You are in for a wild ride with this one, and I'm totally here for it.

WOW! So excited to watch you react to The Sopranos, the greatest tv series of all time! If you are ever not feeling any of these early episodes, don't worry! The first season is the only season that I think is a little lackluster, but all the other seasons are INCREDIBLE!!! I'm SUBSCRIBED!

Thrilled you’re getting to this 👏

Never had the makings of a Varsity Athlete

Anthony Soprano, the first Anti Hero on TV. Started the trend of AH's that gave us more great shows.

Yes! Six seasons of great tv

Holy shit. YASSSSS!!!

16:41 possibly greatest out of context Mary quote if all time

The reference to the Godfather is about when the movies were released. With the Godfather movies, movie theatres were reporting that at every show in some theatres, the front rows would be packed with mobsters. Released in 1972, the first movie especially, came at a time when mob structure and traditions were fading or already gone. It’s said that mobsters took the movie as almost an instructional show and started adopting some ideas for the movie as far as behaviour, dressing, talking and operating. I don’t think it’s completely known whether they actually adopted real traditions, or adopted 'traditions' that had been invented in the book/movie Some of the cast in the Sopranos are ex-mobsters and criminals, and during the time that it was being made, there was no shortage of 'people, stepping forward to let the cast and crew know how things would be handled or how people would react to various situations

This show starts off a little different but it's so good! Looking forward to more!

Finally The Soprano rabbit hole! ❤

You’re in a new world now 😎

Not joking Mary this is probably the best tv show of all time, this is the show that spawned The Wire and Breaking Bad. Zoloft (Sertraline) and Prozac (Fluoxetine) are both used in Europe, I'm not sure if you call them by their "brand" name over there.

I’m excited for you to start this journey of The Sopranos

Soooo happy that you are getting to the Sopranos I've rewatched this show alot and it always delivers on so many levels

One of my favorite shows of all time. So many interesting characters, not just Tony. You're in for a heck of a ride.

Yeah, one of the truly great series of all time right there. You'll enjoy it for sure. Cheers Mary 🍺

wow this is a welcome surprise, one of my absolute favorite series all timed. Thank you so much for this.

Omg I am stunned to see you're watching this, my favorite show of all time. I am severely tempted to wait til you've watched more so I can binge, but I'm also tempted to sub to your patreon now to watch along even though I've seen it probably 15 times

Ohhhh my God. Yes. You've made the best decision of your channel. You're about to watch the greatest narrative ever told on television and a masterpiece in comedy and drama.

This is my number one favorite show of all time I have watched the entire show from season to season countless times throughout my 33 years of life, Enjoy.

SUPER happy you're doing this series!

This is one of the top 3 TV shows ever made. I haven't watched since it aired. Brings back good memories. Enjoy the ride!

4:17 I chocked while drinking water 💀

I did not have HBO, but my friends did and they taped it for me. I'd get a VHS tape with three or four episodes on it and catch up.

I think you will like this. I loved it so much my heart would beat faster whenever the theme music came on lol

At the time the show originally aired I considered this one of the best shows ever. But I don't think I have watched it since the finale. We did pass James Gandolfini on the New Jersey parkway heading to Easter dinner around halfway between the show ending and his death. There was no mistaking that smile.

I’m so happy 😁

Oh shit. 🤌

This is the best tv series ever made. I hope you watch every episode on your channel it’s a hell of journey. I envy those who get to see this for the first time enjoy.

James Gandolfini was a genius actor.

oh my god, i forgot how much i loved this show, i need to give it a full rewatch

I’ve waited for this day! Thanks, Mary! Just remember, the sopranos has 86 episodes. It’s like watching 86 movies. Can’t wait for the wild and funny ride!

My favorite reactor watching my favorite TV show! Thank you so much!

Crime thriller you will absolutely love!!! “Cape Fear” (1991) Crime thriller with a legal twist that will be right up your alley!

Buckle up Mary! You're in for a real treat!

This show is gold! It is so good it is rewatchable and i love the fact that no character is completely likeable...Silvio goes close but every now and then the show reminds you that these people are not good people. Enjoy the show Mary!

my favourite show... thanks for doing reaction of this

Till this day this is a series with one of the best acting and writing.

This show gets so much better... It's wild to me how many references to Goodfellas and The Godfather are in this episode when some of these people were in those movies!

I heard they are doing a print remaster in 4k. Wonder the status on that.

NO WAY!! THIS IS HUGE DAMN, I'M SO THRILLED❤

The first season was the best one. Outside of Tony, his wife, and his kids, my favorite character is Paulie Walnuts. I loved the tag line for the first season: If one family doesn't kill him, the other one will. I'm glad that you enjoyed this pilot.

The actor that plays the nephew Christopher has a very serious KZfaq channel where he teaches Buddhist meditation. Hundreds of hour long lessons and guided meditations. Can't post a link, but it's called " Meditation with Michael Imperioli". I've never heard him talk about it. Just popped up in my recommends after watching Sopranos stuff. Really illustrates what a great actor he is when you see his irl demeanor and how much energy he puts into spiritual things.

Oh I will tune in weekly now that this series is on. Hehe boi

OMG! I am so here for this. What a classic. Let's go!!!!

Jersey in da house! Wow. Haven’t watched yet but I’m down witcha Mary. Didn’t expect this one.

Possibly the funniest show ever made, but definitely the greatest show. You're gonna enjoy this one.

Gets better every season. True masterpiece.

Love your reaction

You're gonna LOVE this show!

You're gonna LOVE this show.

Yeaaaah!

Welcome to this masterpiece!... Wish I was like you, watching for the first time hehe. ENJOY!

"Sopranos" also makes references to: "Casino" "Scarface" "Donnie Brasco" "Serpico" "The French Connection" and "Bullitt"

Thank you Mary for reacting to The Sopranos.

24:41 I'm not ashamed to admit it, but my estimation of Tony Soprano as a man just fuckin' plummeted

Yesss super pumped for this reaction

I love this new editor you've got ❤ Never really liked the Sopranos, but the combo of your commentary and the way it's edited makes me want to give it another try.

A mob boss going to a therapist as a framing device was brilliant.

how perfect..i just started to watch this again as well haha

YAYYYYYY...... Here we go. I have been waiting for this ever since you mentioned you were going to watch it. Thank you Mary....i wish it was possible for me to join your patreon so i could support your channel better but i do try to watch watch, like, and comment on all your youtube videos. This show will shock you sometimes, just like Game of Thrones did, but i think its story holds up very well considering it started 25 years ago....last century/millenium...😊

Ooo! VERY excited for rhis!!!

Oh MAry.... you are in for a good one ... probably the best one ever.

I predict you'll also love the Wire, it's so unique... fav.charecters, bubbles, Omar, and bunk.... also the detective who builds tiny furniture in his spare time, I forget his name.....

holy fucking jesus, i love this show. thanks for starting this shit. amazing stuff.

Wish I could have seen bcs, but this is very exciting. After the first season it gets really really really really really good so just hang in there

Best series ever. Dope reaction.

“How do ducks do it?” Well you see Mary, when a mommy duck and daddy duck love each other very much they show it by ducking the cluck out of each other all night long and that makes a baby duck and as long as daddy duck has plenty of money and is good at ducking they all live happily ever after. Well at least until duck season, or until a bobcat comes along, or a French person, or a car, or a alligator, or a big catfish. (you should watch videos of how big catfish get here in America it’s insane)

YESSSSS!

18:40 A fellow Pomplamoose fan! I did not expect that!

Oh god I gotta watch this whole series again OK😆👍

21:15 "It's like you think I was Hannibal LECTURE before or something."

Buckle in for a long journey with Tony.

Arguably the best show ever made.

😊😊

OMG do I have to subscribe now??
