Season 1 is just perfect. Perfect. I can't think of another word other than perfect. It's got everything you didn't know you needed from a gangster type show. It is very different from casual mafia shows/movies. The episode lengths and amount, as well as the acting and dialogue, are perfect. Also, the dynamics between everything is...perfect.
Season 2 is just as good as season one but not better. One thing it did have, though, is some really good character development.
What in the world is season 3? It's both better and worse than previous seasons. Although the storylines are so juicy, they have way too many plot holes. Jennifer Melfi is one of the most interesting characters, yet her storyline was just forgotten. I'm sure they will talk about all the forgotten plots in the upcoming seasons, but cmon. I kept waiting for them, but barely anything came.
Season 4 is a lot better than season 3 but a lot less juicy. This really is the climax of the sopranos. Both very wanted and very unwanted things happen. Ugh, I'm dreading next season. That last episode has broken me.
Season 5 is no joke, all while full of jokes. It's both hit and miss. Some episodes are boring and full of filler, and some are really interesting and eye gazingly disturbingly good. Bitter sweet is the only way to put it. I'm still mad they haven't yet expanded on Jennifer Melfis storyline. IT'S BEEN 2 SEASONS now and not a peep.
Season 6, one word for it, depression. Everything boiled down to this season, and it gave it point blank. The writers weren't feeling warm or peaceful. Took me a while to finally get through the final few episodes, like many others. I didn't want it to end, but whilst watching it all I was hoping for was for it to end. It is truly one of the only series that nearly everyone can in some way relate to.
So, as a whole, this series is both realistically unrealistic and extremely revolutionary. The relatability is insane, all because of the content we get to see, hear, and feel. This isn't a mafia or gangster show. It's a lesson on propaganda, mental health, physical well-being, racism, sexism, homophobia, sex, religion, relationships, families, war, and so on. Tackling the dirtiest things we all deal with no matter the age, size, colour, or creed. The production was immensely basic, which made it feel like home. The plots were adventurous, but there were too many holes. The acting and script were phenomenal. You could see the personal twist each character gave. I could write about this show for decades as it's on par with some of the greatest pieces of TV. Although, it's not the greatest show of all time because it's in its own league. It does and doesn't have things that this genre stereotypically has. I recommend this show to everyone who has an interest in psychology/therapy/mafia/politics/ or legendary TV.
