Highly overrated show, every time it starts building momentum it loses it, the plot-lines are lame and forgettable, there's too many characters to keep track off and not enough of them are interesting enough to justify being in the show.Highly overrated show, every time it starts building momentum it loses it, the plot-lines are lame and forgettable, there's too many characters to keep track off and not enough of them are interesting enough to justify being in the show.

Prides itself too much on leaving plot-lines unresolved because "that's what happens in real life" if real life was so fascinating we wouldn't spend it all watching fiction like this, a terrible show too watch if you seek conclusions for investing so much of your time into a story. There's an incoherent dream episode and lot's of uninteresting plot lines and the final episode stinks but I didn't mind the ending of it like everybody else, it was actually the whole episode preceding it that I didn't like.

There is one plot line that is exhilarating in some moments and if the whole show was as good as it, it would deserve it's classic status, there is some other good episodes and the acting from James Gandolfini is some of the best I have ever seen from anyone in fact all the acting in this show is top notch, season 1 is actually great and the idea of Tony having the psychiatrist and those scenes going throughout the show is very wise and a great way too see inside and understand the character better without narration, the show wouldn't work without them, very smart move from the writers.

Overall I give it a pass certainly not one of the best shows I have seen but it has some things going for it however it isn't even half as good as it's reputation.
