Outstanding .... Happily “Wise Guy” overcomes this gimmickry [a recreation of the office of Dr. Melfi] because the stories and the clips and the outtakes and audition footage are so incredibly addictive, and because one final gimmick pays off, big. But the big draw is Chase. Reluctant though he may be, he’s a master storyteller.

If you're a fan of The Sopranos, from its unpredictable beginning until that frustrating end, Wise Guys is a must-watch that will make you want to revisit Tony and his gang all over again. It also has the most perfect ending for a documentary that this writer has seen in a long while.

The first 10 minutes are saddled with nervous, chaotic, overlapping editing that speeds through Chase’s biography to better focus on the show itself. Once the documentary takes a breath and starts telling a story, it suddenly becomes watchable. But “Wise Guy” ends by mimicking the show’s divisively abrupt final note, which leaves the impression that there’s a deficit of original ideas animating this endeavor.
