So I just finished my first watch through of Sopranos.. and I don’t know what to think

It was a brilliant show. Perfect pace.. great characters.
Then the final scene went to black and I don’t know what the frick to think
Part of me is pissed off. Part of me understands the idea of leaving the end result up to interpretation
But I’m still pissed off.. but I don’t regret watching it.
After watching The Wire and then Sopranos over the last 6 months, I don’t know how I’m going to top those two shows

Watching it in its original run, we had been having shitty weather and I was pretty sure my cable cut out.
I think it sits much better with me now (especially after a rewatch) then it did then. And I think Tony dying had to happen. He wasn’t going to survive that shite with New York. It was too much at that point.

Check out The Americans if you haven’t at this point. Extremely well written. Satisfying finale (maybe one of the best ones I’ve seen up there with Six Feet Under).

The ambiguity of the ending was perfect. It was a view from Tony's perspective of the paranoia he had to live with at all times and would for the rest of his life - however long it may have been ;) - after the war with NY.
The only part I never really got was the Meadow parking shite. The time it took her to park only matters if the whole family at the table got whacked, which would have been highly unusual.

It was only briefly open for interpretation after it aired.
Tony was whacked.
The ending was actually well thought out and very clever.

Sopranos is solid 8.5/10 but not as special as people make it out to be when comparing to other shows.
Everyone says “you’d have to watch it when it originally came out” but that’s only the case because at the time it was the greatest show of all time and since then has been surpassed by Breaking Bad, The Wire, GOT, and BCS. They think it’s about the context of the time period but they’re really just admitting that it’s nostalgia boosting their rating.

The final scene is seen through Tony's eyes. Everything you see is from Tony's POV. When the screen goes to black, you're seeing what Tony sees.

You’re going to get a bunch of retarded revisionist BS about the ending being good from a bunch of people that were legit pissed when it first aired.
But yeah, the ending sucked.

The last season of the wire makes it #2 imo.
The last season of the Sopranos was fantastic

People bitch about the finale. I must have been the only one that spent seasons 4,5,and 6 wanting to know what happened to the damn Russian from the Pine Barrens episode.

You don’t. Every now and then you find a show that comes close (breaking bad). Otherwise you just rewatch those two over the years. I’ve rewatched each at least 5 times.

I know we’ve beat this horse to death, but I don’t know how anyone could watch the final season, and mainly the lake house episode, and not know and accept that he got killed in the final scene.

My question has always been this: who had Tony whacked?
Was it Butch tying up loose ends from the war after selling out Phil to Jersey?
Was it the standing hit ordered by Phil before he died?
Was it Little Carmine playing the long game?

I recently finished the series for the first time.
I think Tony’s alive. He had no beef with New York anymore at the end except for Phil who got taken out.
I do, however, think he probably does get arrested. The heat on him by the feds seemed to be at an all-time high in the finale, and I think it eventually catches up to him.
As for my interpretation of the final scene - I see it as as long as he is free and out there, he will always be paranoid and looking over his shoulder, as was shown everytime that bell on the restaurant door rang.

There’s zero room for interpretation if you follow all the symbology. Chase stated as much. You never see it coming.

When it aired I was still watching bootleg torrent stuff. I was super pissed. I thought the download had messed up, so I downloaded another copy. Same thing. I figured maybe the ripper had screwed up, so I found a different release (source). Same thing. Finally, I accepted that was the true ended.
On new shows, Narcos is good. Mad Men is an amazing series if you enjoy the 60s. Just did a rewatch of House; Forgot what a good show it was.

Watched the Soprano series for the first time and just finished it last month. Great series and liked it as well as Breaking Bad. Now watching Mayor of Kingstown... seems to be a good series as well.

I seriously envy people who tell me they just watched tGOAT show The Sopranos for the first time. It never tires, honestly.
I've never watched a show that's so character driven. It truly is amazing how much all of the characters contribute to the show and how you bond with their characters as the show progresses.

Breaking Bad is a great start

Interpretation?
There is no interpretation.
Tony got whacked! It answered the repeated question for the final episode.
You don’t hear it coming.
ETA, I just finished my first watch of the entire run. The fade to black was the most incredible idea for a death scene ever. I went through withdrawals for a few days when I finally finished it. Incredible story telling.
