Just finished Sopranos season 2, I'm done with it.

For a show that's considered the greatest/one of the greatest by many, I think it's overrated. And this comes from someone who loves godfather1/2, goodfellas, Donnie brasco, carlito's way. The show wastes a lot of time of side stories that don't amount to anything. What's the point of Christopher trying to be a screenwriter? Those scenes with Dr. Melfi are unwatchable after the first few sessions. In addition, there are characters who just occupy screen time just to piss you off. Characters like Artie(not believable as a chef), his mooching feminist sister, his spoiled useless 2 kids, Livia the miserable mom.
Seems like one scene, the guys are saying how much they love one another, bust each other's balls, and then one of them gets whacked. Then the pattern repeats.
I was a big fan of furio, but he barely gets on screen. Instead we see tony fight with his wife episode after episode. It gets old.

It is extremely overrated, and a great choice to call it quits.

Tony dies at the end

At the time it was far and away the best thing ever produced for TV but its been surpassed by numerous shows since.
The annoying family and general banalities of day to day life were kind of the point.

Probably this. I mean its been several years since i have watched this show. I remember feeling the way you do at times, but overall enjoyed it. I imagine today id enjoy it a tad less. That intro song is still the bomb.

I loved the Sopranos. I watched it online about 2-3 years ago. I particularly liked the final season.
That being said, if you don't like it so far, then don't keep watching it. I guess it isn't for you. I can't really understand why someone wouldn't like it, but if you don't. Don't watch it.
I will say that the first episode of season 3 is definitely one of my favorite random episodes throughout the series... but if you didn't like the first two seasons then I don't know what you will like.

There has to be side plots. As far as I know the screenwriter stuff plays in a little bit at a later time. All these side plots are character development to show the drama of different people with different involvements in the mob. What the frick is it supposed to be? Tony extorting people for 5-6 seasons? There has to be other people that get developed to some degree.
The stuff with Janice ties a lot of how Tony is now based on his life as a child and how Janice was the favorite.
His interactions with Melfi are important as sort of an aside to how Tony is in respect to analyzing how fricked up his own life is.

Maybe it's just not for you. Sopranos and The Wire are, IMO, the best television dramas ever creates but not everyone will like them.

I agree that the side plots can be distracting and not very interesting but the therapy sessions give you perspective on Tony's life further down the road in the show. It's hard to compare Goodfella, Carlito and others to a show with 86 one or two hour episodes. If Henry Hill's life would have been shown as a 90 hour documentary, it would probably have gotten alittle slow too. Im biased I guess cause I watched it in real time on HBO and loved it.

Season 3 is much better than 1 and 2.
New characters are introduced in season 3, most notably Ralph Cifaretto. Plus, Johnny Sack is featured as well.
Give it one more season, man.

I watched the whole series a few months ago. I enjoyed it, but it took me a little while to really get into it. I love how it gets the audience to root for and empathize with Tony, a ruthless mob boss. The character development was pretty good overall. I didn't like what they did with AJ. He just got annoying.
***Spoiler***
And I can't believe they super-imposed Tony's mom into a scene after she passed away IRL. It looked so awful and made no sense. They could have just mentioned her dying and be done with it. The whole scene was pointless.

God Damn Meadow Soprano was my dream girl growing up. so fricking hot.
Posted on 2/13/15 at 9:26 am to DirtyMikeandtheBoys
yeah, by the end of the show, Meadow is a total smoke show

She took a dip in season two and gained some weight.
Posted on 2/13/15 at 10:17 am to SUB
Every time she ran upstair, you can see her arse getting wider as the season progress.

I would not give up on it, just take a breather. It is a solid series and was ground breaking back in the day.

I'm not a fan of thug life in general. I have seen all the Godfather movies, Casino and Goodfellas and enjoyed them mostly for the fine acting. I can handle the thug scene through a 2 hour movie but it's not something I want to see in a TV series. There's just too much other good TV to watch and not enough time to watch it all.
