Graeme Blundell The Australian Once the first episode starts to enthral you'll be delighted to see that there are 85 more to go, each around an hour in length. Jul 19, 2021 Full Review Nancy Banks-Smith Guardian The Sopranos is ferociously funny and, of course, vice versa. Excessive ferocity is itself funny. Feb 25, 2020 Full Review Eric Mink New York Daily News Most of all, The Sopranos remains a showcase for ferociously distinctive writing, inventive direction and brilliant portrayals of surprisingly, even disturbingly, sympathetic multilayered characters. Rated: 4/4 Jan 31, 2018 Full Review Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio Season 2 humanizes Tony, it gets us to feel closer and empathetic to that distant figure of a crime boss. It delves into the complexity of its characters while still showing them as kind of good guys. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 9/10 Oct 22, 2021 Full Review Guillem Martinez Oya Cinematismo A look at a mistifing figure of a gangster in the contemporary times. A necessary look to ourselves. [full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/5 Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Ellen Willis The Nation Plenty of sex, violence, domestic melodrama and comic irony; a portrait of a suburban landscape that does for northern New Jersey what film noir did for Los Angeles.

goober 1 This season displays so much character development, like the character Richie Aprile, who is shown throughout the entirety of this season, but then is suddenly killed off by none other than her fiancé, Janice Soprano (Which is one of the most shocking scenes in this season, if not, of all time). Standout Episodes: 1. Funhouse 2. The Knight In White Satin Armour 3. Big Girls Don’t Cry 4. The Happy Wanderer 5. From Where to Eternity Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Dionisis T One of the greatest seasons in television history! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Thomas Alonzo C 9.5 de 10 Obra maestra Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Taylor H Through a series of unsuspecting twists and turns, The Sopranos returns with a fiery Season 2. The writing and character development continue to impress— capturing humanity at its most beautiful angle. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Regal R 89/100 - a decent show, has a lot of entertainment value and is worth watching the first couple seasons. it definitely falls off. a lot of good characters, decent plot. season 4 is when it gets pretty bad, a staggering drop in both quality and entertainment. rip james gandolfini Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review Markus S IMHO, this season is better than the first one, and is the one which made me start to fall in love with the series little by little, admiring the complexity of the story more, realizing that both comedy and drama are well put in every occasion, and understanding that a TV show like this, means to be with less action, because it lets suspense become a truly powerful element, same goes for the psychology of every character and how unpredictable they're in their thoughts sometimes. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
