It's funny and smart and thought provoking, one of my all-time favorites. No brainer.

I liked it. Very different then pretty much every other show I have seen so it's tough to compare. In terms of entertainment I would put it somewhere between The Wire and Mad Men.

So true. Rare that a finale lives up to expectations for a long-running popular show, probably because expectations are unrealistic, but man do they nail it. How is it that HBO made this, the Wire, the Sopranos, the Life and Times of Tim, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sex and the City and Boardwalk Empire, when so much of the TV landscape is pure crap? They don't always hit home runs, but they have more than their share of all-time classic shows.

eta: will probably ditch The Following to fit this in our schedule.

Man, if I could replace The Following with something as good as Six Feet Under that I'd never seen before, it would be so awesome.

wow, hard to go wrong here. Depends on what you like I guess.
If you like police dramas start with The Wire
If you like westerns, start with Deadwood
If you like mafia stuff, start with Soprano's
You have have a ton of seasons worth of great TV to enjoy. Have fun!

the last four episodes are probably the most gut wrenching of any drama in TV history

I assume anyone who would bother to open the thread would tell you that it is.

Yeah, Six Feet Under is a top 5 all-time show for me. Definitely worth the watch. It's very dark, but very thought-provoking in a way that very few shows or movies manage to pull off.

We stopped watching after 2 or 3 seasons. Story line was just too boring for us. Seemed very slow for our liking.

As good as any show or film I've seen.

Interesting. I've rarely heard someone say they didn't like the show. I guess if you're looking for action/adventure it's not the show for you. I always thought they did an amazing job writing for all of the main characters in a really compelling way. Each of them goes through a lot of interesting stuff. And there are a lot of laughs.
If I could nitpick, I'd say

In what universe is Deadwood better than the Sopranos.
Oh look, it's a crusty guy using curse words constantly!!!!11!

As with many (if not most) successful HBO series, this one started great, with a great idea and good acting, but was dragged out way too long imo. The show was brutal after season 2. The famous montage ending (a long scene - several minutes at the end of the last episode), was a great scene and a truly inspired piece of cinematography, but the last season was otherwise terrible.

The Sopranos is great but I prefer Deadwood.
And using foul language as a way to diminish Deadwood while touting the Sopranos makes zero sense.

I've only seen about 10 episodes of The Sopranos and just didn't have any interest in seeing more.Not a very informed opinion, but I liked Deadwood much more from the little bit I saw.

If you don't want to see any more, that's your right.
I saw every episode of Deadwood. Good show, but supremely overrated IMO.

I wouldn't mind watching the rest. It was a few years ago. I didn't hate it. I just didn't like it enough that I just had to keep watching, like other great shows.I always meant to get back around to it.Then video stores went out of business and Netflix split services and I just never did.

I re-watched it start to finish with my wife a couple years ago. So glad I did. My wife loved it too. Watching it with her even when I knew what would happen didn't change a thing. And Tiger is right; the final episode was incredible. Everything you didn't get from the final Sopranos - closure.

Great first season. By season three I was out.
it was good. I cheated and read Wikipedia to know who was who, but the ending is great.
