You are in for a treat. Wish I could be starting it again for the first time.1 minute 21 seconds into the pilot episode. Pretty good but not great so far

Matthew is a sixteen-year-old living in Jackson Heights, Queens, in 1976. After he loses his two most important male role models, his father and grandfather, his mother uses her inheritance to uproot Matthew and herself to a posh apartment building in Manhattan. Although only three miles away from his boyhood home, “the city” is a completely new and strange world to Matthew.
Matthew soon befriends (and becomes a factotum of sorts to) Lou Reed, who lives with his transgender girlfriend Rachel in the same building. The artistic-shamanic rocker eventually becomes an unorthodox father figure to Matthew, who finds himself head over heels for the mysterious Veronica, a wise-beyond-her-years girl he meets at his new school.
Written from the point of view of Matthew at age eighteen, two years after the story begins, the novel concludes with an epilogue in the year 2013, three days after Lou Reed’s death, with Matthew in his fifties.
He's a hot house flower, that one.Just be forewarned that even though Tony may act like a tough guy, he never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
I could watch that scene over and over. Tony's rage was in prime form.jdoggydogg said:He's a hot house flower, that one.

Obsessively watched this all week and am now re-watching ones I missed on PrimeFunny, it's been on HBO a lot and I basically managed to watch most of the last two seasons (I think) including the final episode last night.
I still am not sure how I feel about it. I go back and forth.
It doesnt hold up as good as I remember. Some horrible storylines late in the series.Funny, it's been on HBO a lot and I basically managed to watch most of the last two seasons (I think) including the final episode last night.

I have yet to figure if the existence of Kevin Finnerty was part of a deep plotline that I did not understand or was he just an excuse for Gandolfini to show off his acting chops.It doesnt hold up as good as I remember. Some horrible storylines late in the series.
Like most successful HBO shows, it was 2-3 seasons too long.It doesnt hold up as good as I remember. Some horrible storylines late in the series.
I wonder why Salami didn't get the call. He is the guy I think of first when it comes to directed episodes. Gandolfini liked him because he paced the filming more like a movie director than a television director. TV directors are used to operating on serious time constraints, so they just crank the scene out and move onto the next one. Van Patten had a more of go with the flow type of style, which Gandolfini connected to.Meanwhile, the film will be directed by Alan Taylor, who helmed several episodes of the show and even won an Emmy for his work behind the lens of Season 6's "Kennedy And Heidi," which, perhaps not coincidentally, was a pivotal piece of Christopher's story.
I rewatched most of it last year. The first three seasons are still outstanding and could go back on the air today. There is a big, noticeable drop-off in quality after that. (In fairness, I didn't finish rewatching the whole series -- I petered out a little after S4).It doesnt hold up as good as I remember. Some horrible storylines late in the series.
I agree with this. The last season was especially bad. But the first couple seasons were great.It doesnt hold up as good as I remember. Some horrible storylines late in the series.
Yeah, it's tough to compare a show that debuted 20 years ago to current offerings. I think it holds up pretty well. Definitely a drop off in the final few seasons but I still enjoyed them. The comedic aspect of The Sopranos is what keeps me entertained. Paulie drops some great zingers throughout the series.wow some of you guys have very, very high standards for TV shows
So no sequel then?It's crazy to think about the number of these actors that have since passed. I found this list on reddit but it's from October or so of 2017. I know several others have died since then - will try to look them up - I think Phil and Syndey Pollack (can't remember character name).

I'm probably missing some more of the older actors ...but hope they are all still around.
