Comment on Era of complex and ambitious TV is over, says Sopranos creator
Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 months agoI tried to get into it because of all the praise it has received and was confused about why it received said praise. It tells a story of a bunch of sleaze bags, with king sleaze bag emotionally wounded because of all his sleaze bag actions. Okay… That was already done a dozen times before The Sopranos came along. What’s the big deal?

Youre missing the point if that’s what you got from it
It’s a metaphor about the decline of America. The mob stuff is just window dressing used to tell that story. Just as how the tortoise and the hare isn’t actually a story about two animals

I quit watching after about 4 episodes, so I guess I did miss all of that. How long does it take for that to become apparent?

Dude. It’s the consensus best show ever for a reason. 4 episodes is ridiculous.
