That's cool - I couldn't watch the Sopranos, but Julie was addicted to it.
I took up watching it at my mother's. Could see how it would be addictive, though the first 2 seasons are painfully depressing. Tony Soprano's mother was pure evil, in the story-line. It was disguised as "senility" by her, which made it all the more evil.
Watching how these serials develop their characters and resolve their story-lines can be an interesting thing to do, if one likes to dabble in story-telling. The Sopranos was very well done, and had some great acting in it. Quite the ensemble they had.
It was a blood-bath, of course, and nearly all the main characters died.
