finally watching this show. i waited forever thinking it'd be too heavy to enjoy during the last year, but no one told me it's very funny and most of the characters are just every person my grandparents ever knew. just started season 3.

It gets funnier. IMO The running gags like the malaprops just keep getting better. Ralphie, Phil, AJ(in spit of himself). I think it's kind of the perfect show for the last year but I won't get into my dark opinions on why.
As to family there's no show that I've related to more and I'm pretty damn far from New Jersey or really more than a handful of Italian Americans. I've tried to talk my mom into watching it because aside from trying to have a family member murdered Livia Soprano is soooo much like my grandmother. I don't mean that in a mean way. I think anyone with a close family member with severe mental illness can relate.

We finished a rewatch a few weeks ago, and this was one of the things we specifically talked about loving so much about it. They just throw them out so perfectly so many times.

livia was unbelievably frustrating to watch, because she was so much like my meem in the last couple years of her life.
jr shooting tony was such a funny scene that just turned hard sad, but the image of him doing it was so good. at the episode he's first in the hospital
I just finished my 2nd rewatch (3rd time overall) on Sunday. My partner reacted appropriately to the finale, and then spent an hour reading about the history of the show and its effect on TV onwards.
Man! What did they do to the kids’ characters in S6? Meadow contributed almost nothing and AJ required WAY more focus than he got. Kind of a weird non-ending which was fine. Tbh I don’t really get what all the hype with this show was.
Watching for the first time - just watched Pine Barrens. Have not ready any spoilers, so going in completely blind to everything. Absolutely incredible show. I see why it's consistently hailed as the best/one of the best shows of all time.
man early inforoo HATED it, but I really liked the ending. the whole episode was someone pulling back a bow and then the last second pulls back harder and then black. so much potential energy. Bobby tho.
Bobby was my favorite. the most everyman of all the made men. felt like he got a lot of short ends, his wife, Janice, Jr, Tony.
I really liked Chris, and then I didn't, them I really didn't, then I felt bad for him again, and then wowsers. very well written, wish he was in more things, was cool to see him in one night in miami.
idk if I hated paulie or Janice more. phil close.
I thought John was a really incredible character, full arc.
I hated AJs facial hair more than his development, which all made a ton of sense to me.
I feel like more than anything this show took a lot of angles of parenthood in a way that most mob movies never do. the way it presents sociopathic behavior as nature v nurture is really pretty groundbreaking, in a way that's not really touched on in other anti hero shows like the wire or breaking bad.
idk if it cracks my breaking bad/leftovers tier, I didn't like it as much as dark, it doesn't leave me pining for the world like twin peaks, but I was gripped the whole time and I can see it just outside of my top 5 w the above and Lost
Most perfect endings ever are Breaking Bad, The Americans, and Boardwalk Empire, at least of tv dramas I've seen.
Lost got so much shit when it aired, but on a rewatch I quite enjoyed the ending.
haven't seen the other two but have heard good things (also loved Buschemi in this)
I thought the lost ending was perfectly fine. leftovers was perfect. I do really think this was perfect too. seems like a lot of early speculation was more episodes or a movie but it ended so well imo.

It probably matters when you watched this stuff, right? I didn't watch The Sops contemporaneously until the last season - I was in grad school, was poor, had a blockbuster unlimited DVDs thing, so I went and got all the earlier seasons of it and watched them, then watched Season 6b in real time.
I didn't watch Breaking Bad until it was off the air for like 2-3 years. I didn't watch The Wire until it was off air for like 5 years, maybe more.
I rank Sops/Wire as 1-2 all time (constantly switching) and think Breaking Bad was nowhere near either, mostly because BB was one plot that was fed by side characters, whereas the other two (especially The Wire) was more broad.
