Only one word can describe this series. Fantastic. A very gripping story that grips you from the begining and doesn't let go. A simply brilliant performance from the cast and fantastic script writing make this one of the best TV shows ever made.

Without any exaggeration the best American Tv show I've ever watched. I'm not a cinema expert but I guess every elements of this show are work of quality. I enjoyed every season of this tv show which tells a story of a world and it's people that I didn't have so much idea.
What does make a tv show is one of the best? Well, The Sopranos are full of them.

I just started watching The Sopranos a few days ago and I gotta say I am very impressed. I dont know what it is about the show but it has that effect that just sucks you in. The storylines are great, The acting is wonderful, Every part of the show is just great. I really enjoyed this season, Cant wait for season 2.

This is the best debut season of any show ever created. The way it slowly shows us the world of Tony Soprano and how it's not really all about being a mobster, but about trying to keep a family together.

It is rare to watch a show that is written, directed and acted so well that you can't believe it's not real. The Sopranos takes the Italian mafia, a group that have come to be portrayed as almost mythical in classic films, and presents it in a more human and more believable way. James Gandolfini's portrayal of Tony Soprano is an acting masterclass. This show is seriously difficult to fault.

Arguably the best television drama ever filmed, with Breaking Bad now nipping at its heels. What works is that all the characters in the show are realistic and relatable, especially the show's antihero, Tony Soprano. Despite being a powerful mob boss, he is an everyman. You want to cheer for him, turning a blind eye to his nefarious secret life. The acting is great and the show's writing is sharp and brimming with dark humour and the viewer vacillates between laughter and cringing at the show's uncompromising violence. As stories unfold and characters develop The Sopranos just gets better with each episode.… Expand

Truly outstanding, the entire cast were spot on, and with such a cutting edge story it is hard to come by. I feel upset for the people who have yet to watch the godsend which is The Sopranos

What else to say except that this is likely the best, most compelling show in the history of television? The acting and the writing are superb. Like a brilliant 60-hour movie.

This review contains spoilers. I just finished the last episode after 3 months of watching the whole 6 seasons... What can I say? How is it possible to love a character that kills/ or tries to / or orders the kill (even members from his own family), cheat his wife episode after episode, extort, sells protection, sells drugs, steals and sells the loot and the list goes on? Yet again, I loved him... and the end? Even with the spoiler tag will not go into further details.

Gorgeous from the start to end... Way to go Tony...… Collapse

I enjoyed the series very much.

Bada Bing! Still watch early episodes that kicked off this hit...Everything blends from opening to characters. It may have stereotyped some Italians which mobs were forgotten about decades ago only to remind again.

Hands down the best television series of all time. It is second-to-none and does not even contain an average episode in the whole series, let alone a "bad" episode. And yes, this is coming from someone who has seen The Wire (it's No. 2, but it should never be ranked ahead of the Sopranos on any list).

The show deserves 11 but metacritic limit at 10. I bet James shows up on the street and people start calling him Tony Soprano. The script, the acting all top notch second to none. A must-watch for all TV zealots.

Best TV show of all time. Loved this! such good twists. Every season gets better and better as it progresses. Loved it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¬!!!!!!!!!!!
