To be this late to the Sopranos? SPOILERS

Just finished watching it for the first time and I can’t stop thinking about the final scene. Tony was definitely killed, wasn’t he? Anyone up for a chat about it?

I finished watching it for the first time recently too. Can’t believe I had waited so long to watch it. Some episodes weren’t as good as others but I like that it sort of lulls you into liking a character/thinking that they’re not as bad as the others and then bam, that character goes on to do something terrible in the next scene or episode. Even the ones who aren’t killers like Carmela- yeah she’s only a housewife and doesn’t get involved but she knows what’s going on and where the money comes from, she just doesn’t care as long as she can wander around her McMansion dripping in diamonds.

There’s some fucking hilarious lines as well and some very satisfying death scenes for some really heinous bastards.

I don't know if YABU yet. I am trying to watch Mad Men and not really finding it gripping. Maybe I should switch to the Sopranos?? I think even in the last 15 or so years, the pace of TV has changed, plus my concentration span has deteriorated massively, thanks to a decade of smartphone use. Am glad I watched The Wire when it first came out - I just wouldn't have the sticking power now.

Such an iconic series - with such interesting characters... Adrianna..Tony..

This is quite simply one of the best TV programmes ever made.

Also, Pine Barrens episode, season three

coxesorangepippin · 11/04/2025 14:37

Oh god yeah it's amazing

Love Carmella in particular

Almahart · 11/04/2025 13:55

Definitely yes. Such a brilliant ending

I just finished watching it all too - it’s fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the final few episodes when everything is caving in. Majestic, but brutal

Lottapianos · 11/04/2025 13:47

Yes, completely agree with your theory. It's a brilliant show, although got a bit baggy in later seasons. The finale is a stunning piece of television. Apparently loads of people thought their TVs were on the blink because the screen stays black for so long at the end!

PippaXo · 11/04/2025 13:46

I think that the writer has left it up in the air as to what happened to Tony and his family. I hated the ending as I would prefer to know definitely!

"You probably don't even hear it when it happens, right?"

For sure killed.
