Just started watching this series for the first time (currently started season 2).
Not sure what I was expecting, but... they really are small time crooks, aren't they?
A handful of old overweight men who seem to have less territory than than a single paperboy...
Does it change in the coming seasons at all?

>Does it change in the coming seasons at all?
Yes.
The show is more of a family drama than a gangster show, so the writers focused little on who controls what (at least in the beginning seasons).
You get tp see more how Tony works in season two, b u t the family drama aspect is still the dominant theme.
kill yourself faggot, you haven't even been paying attention so far.
you know Quasimodo predicted all this
don't bother overrated shit show
>the sopgunanos
What?
>asking for spoilers
God you're stupid
What kind of spoilers? That Big Pussy dies? That Christopher dies? That Tony dies?
...
damn now I want some baked ziti
what? No fuckin' ziti now?
I am seriously considering making some today.
>that feel when a moron that is easily influenced by media
there is a great podcast about the sopranos called exactly that
happened to me
The show is centered on an almost insignificant crew in an era when the power of the Italian mob has been greatly diminished.
OOHHHHHHH
>small time
Except not at all, this is what gangsters look like and how they act IRL, at least Italians in the NE, NY/Jersey, Philly. It's less entertaining Hollywood cliches, which you might enjoy better, and more realism, as deflating as that may seem. Even the New York crew, as an above user cited as being bigger time, offers a similar appearance.

yfw you realize he knew the hit was coming and embraced the sweet relief of death to get away from janice and be reunited with his sweet karen
>Does it change in the coming seasons at all?
Not really.
The Sopranos isn't like Goodfellas or Casino, which follow the meteoric rise of an uppity criminal, his acquisition of a lavish lifestyle, and his sudden and harsh downfall. No such arcs exist in the Sopranos writing, unless you count Christopher, and even his story arc subverts the Scorsese mob story arc.
The Sopranos also doesn't try to glamorize the mob lifestyle.
At all.
In fact, the show unabashedly portrays the criminal lifestyle as what it really is; a shitty lifestyle of constant paranoia, family troubles, and inability to integrate into normal society.
A previous user also mentioned that Sopranos is more of a family drama show. This is also true. You can think of the Sopranos as a very dark, subversive, and live action version of The Simpsons.
Anyone has a dl link for this ?
You know who had an ark? Noah.
I just clicked it. How can they have 54 episode about the sopranos..
they are still making new ones
it remembers to be funny at least sometimes
one podcast per episode.
they just started on season 5
It's not about gangsters being gangsters and getting big, it's about their (and their families) interrelations. It's a great show, s2 is the weakest one probably, bear with it some more. It's akin to wire in that it doesn't try to impress you right away but takes a great deal of time to build realistic characters, relations and world.
> Cheats on his wife
> Regularly gets blowjobs and treats girls like shit
> Whines at his psychiatrist whilst not wanting to change his lifestyle
> Italian pride above all
> Doesn't want his kids to swear
> Proud to be Italian, even though they don't speak a word Italian. Just some fat fucks running small-time errands and laundering their wealth through a stripclub.
> That episode with the blackout when they went to eat at Artie Bucco's and he gave his kids that lecture about having to appreciate the small moments in life like some religious soccer mom was cringy as fuck.
Paulie and Christopher were kinda funny and Silvio was likeable due to his unconditional loyalty to Tony's crew. But the rest of the characters including Ralphie, Tony himself etc. were just pieces of shit.
The series itself isn't bad, it's just the characters I generally found dislikable
Comfy as fuck.
Could you imagine having based Karen titty fuck your small, fupa hidden cock only to then have Janice want you to only lick her sweaty asshole?
Bobby was the least dickish by far.
Fuck Tony for making him kill.
bobby was the best
