Michael, I had not seen The Sopranos until this past Thursday. I've been watching episodes back-to-back, a marathon. It's magnificent ! I completed the first season, thirteen episodes, over the last two days. It's so damned extraordinary that I can't stop watching it ! I laughed my ass off when Carmela said, "You know Tony, it's a multiple choice thing with you. I can't tell if you're old-fashioned, paranoid, or just a fucking asshole." All the best, Michael.

Call me a sadist or a schadenfreude lover but Tony's crazy, effed up marriage with Carmela was why I watched the show. It was great but at the same time, added some realism. In fact, one episode or two gathered a few Emmy nominations solely based on the Tony/Carmela conflicts.

My grandmother was "about to die" for about ten years! She managed to never be sent to a "retirement community" and passed away in her own bed. I sat beside her all through her last night, when she was unconscious. The last time we spoke was a week before that, when she called me on the phone and gave it to me "for not calling my father" more often! Livia and Junior remind me a lot of my grandparents. My grandad was not bitter and mean like Junior, he was always laughing and playing with us kids, but he wore the same glasses and bald head as Junior.

I think the idea of Tony seeing a psychiatrist was a mechanic that added to the tension and was compelling because we are all watching wondering how he is going to avoid telling anything that could be too revealing to that life. And then that became a big deal later with Braco’s character defending doctor-client privilege and how she was caught over her own loyalty to these two different groups. Also how these well educated psychiatrists and family were then seen to be arrogant and saw Tony’s case as an amusement to them, and we are left feeling more sympathy for Tony, or at least questioning: who are the good guys? Are we all just as bad,as flawed as each other or just the same, really?

I agree that the psychiatrist's presence was unrealistic, but her role in the story is a window into Tony's character. She is necessary as a literary device. If it were a book, instead of a TV series, she would likely not be in the story. In a book, you can read about a character's innermost thoughts (first person, omniscient, or 3rd person limited). In a movie, you can only develop a character by what he says, what he does, and what others say about him. Since it is television, we only know the thoughts he talks about, and he would only discuss his insecurities and vulnerabilities with a psychiatrist. He would not discuss any such thing with his fellow mobsters, or even his own family.

Even more so, if the show was narrated instead of him seeing someone to let the thoughts out, it would pull from the character of Tony. Chase could’ve written the show with the exclusion of Melfi in the regard that he was just narrating to an audience, but that is so unlike his character that it would seem unnatural. I don’t think Chase strived for it to be the most accurate depiction of a mafioso family, but with the inclusion of a psychiatrist, it helped ground Tony’s issues to where instead of speaking to the psychiatrist, you kind of feel like he’s talking to you about his issues, especially within the first season of the show.

Melfi represented the audience and the therapy sessions was Tony talking about his life directly to the audience, giving us insight on how he thinks during the scenes.

Her therapy sessions represents the creator talking to the audience about how we perceive Tony and how we wanna glorify and see him succeed even tho he is so evil.

Just got through binge-watching all six series. Not got a favourite line exactly, but love the scene with Phil Leotardo ruminating and the John Cooper Clarke "Chickentown" playing over this scene and the credits. Just after it went out on TV in England, I saw him (JCC) getting out of a car and going into our town hall in Bakewell, Derbyshire before doing a gig there, and I shouted "welcome to Chickentown" and he nodded and gave me a thumbs up! Great man!

Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri: Mom started going downhill after the World Trade Center. You know Quasimodo predicted all this. Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Who did what?

Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri: Oh right. Notre Damus. Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Nostradamus, and Notre Dame. Two different things completely. Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri: It's interesting though, they'd be so similar, isn't it?" And I always thought okay, Hunchback of Notre Dame. You also got your quarterback and halfback of Notre Dame. Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: One's a f***ing cathedral. Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri: Obviously. I know, I'm just saying. It's interesting, the coincidence.

What i love about Michael is he is straight as an arrow with his answer. Even though he couldn't get into the show properly after season 2 still realises it was a great show and gives the show a lot of credit. Also he done amazing going straight and getting out of the criminal underworld. I know a few old petty criminals and even with little crimes it's hard to go to an honest 9-5 life style. I never committed a crime but I see how friends struggle to leave there old ways. As its the only survival skills they know. So take my hat of to Michael he is a top man.

I'd say "The Wire", but these things are personal. When Prime had them a few years ago I thought I'd watch them both through the way I did when they first ran, but I couldn't watch "The Sopranos" again. I watched a couple episodes, like Chris's seeing hell, but it was just too depressing. I watched "The Wire" again and enjoyed it as much, but couldn't do Tony and the crew again.

Personally, I've never seen characters that seemed so real. All of them played their parts amazingly well. So well that when I see any of them talking in real life I expect them to be their counterpart. Particularly Tony's ma, that woman absolutely knocked it outta park and into the lot next door. Also, Tony's dream sequences were on point as far as the ethereal quality of them.

I started watching The Sopranos at the age of 10 with my older sister. We loved that show because Tony had similar traits to our father. Our father wasn’t a gangster nor a killer but my sister and I often joked how much better our lives would be if our father was more like Tony because his temper was nothing compared to our father
