    I like the idea of the entire New Jersey knuckle-dragging goon Sopranos family getting massacred. Every single member of that family was deplorable without a single redeeming quality that I can recall.

    I don't think that's what happened -- too unrealistic -- but I like the idea.

    For me The Wire is the greatest tv show of all time closely followed by the Sopranos.
    In both cases the writing, directing, acting, etc are all top notch.
    Maybe for me its because I used to live in Baltimore City and saw a lot of what was portrayed in The Wire first-hand.

    I have never seen one episode of the sopranos.  I never had HBO though (so no Game of thrones either).  Isn't the Sopranos on Netflix now?  Maybe i'll check it out then.
    With it being an HBO show, it won't be on Netflix. With the HBO Go/Now streaming services, they have no need to work out a deal with Netflix. I do believe it's on Amazon Prime, if you have that service.

    Started watching it again, up to season 2.
    Gosh I hate Father Intintola. Wish Tony would shoot him.

    It's debatable. 
    The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, and The Wire are the holy trinity of television shows.

    I recently re-watched the very first episode, and the series finale.  Both outstanding in our introduction and farewell to Tony and crew.

    I'm pretty sure he was killed at the end.

    I've never really watched The Sopranos. I saw a few episodes here and there, and the last one. I did love the ending, lol.
    Breaking Bad is the greatest TV show ever made (so far).

    Meh. I mean, the few episodes I did see didn't really do a lot for me, so I'm not overly inspired to watch. Plus I've already seen the ending, lol. Plus there are many other shows I'd like to watch first. Right now I'm doing The Blacklist, which I'm loving (as a James Spader fan). And believe it or not, I've still not watched any of the The Wire, so I have to get to that as well. I have only watched I think the first season of The Newsroom and need to catch up, plus I haven't even started the new seasons for Ozark or Orange is the New Black, and I think only got through 2 seasons of Hell on Wheels, so I need to get back to that, and probably start it again from the beginning. Oh, and I am only 5 episode or so into Westworld, and am a season behind with Grey's Anatomy ..... The Sopranos isn't even really on my radar ATM, lol.

    That show like most things was about the journey though not the destination. Season 2-4 was really the meat and potatoes with a stellar first season. I thought the last episode and season in general was kinda ehh, especially compared to the final season of BB. Sopranos had hilarious comedy and BB had better twists. Sopranos was better overall in my opinion.

    PJ Soul---forget any of those other shows you mentioned. Watch The Wire and The Sopranos immediately.

    Also--The Newsroom is garbage after the first season anyway!
