OMG You're talking about THE Sopranos starring Eddie Falco and James Gandolfini, the tv show that redefined television and started the whole golden age of tv?

My expectations are definitely high.

Yes, we are talking about THE Sopranos, mister..:biggrin:

watch the show, you won't be sorry.

The two best shows ever were Six Feet Under and Carnivale IMO...

Both Breaking Bad and The Sopranos are well written...well acted...excellent cast

Both have a lot of gratuitous violence...

Breaking Bad is raw and realistic ...and very disturbing. If that is your thing...it excels.

I have watched them both and both are worthy of the praise they receive

OMG I just saw the first episode of Breaking Bad and I am impressed, it really is as good as they say.

I wanted not to like it because I love being alone against the crowd but this is wonderful, better than tuna souffle and raspberry bavarois.

I loved the purity of Breaking Bad, it is what you could describe as a minimalist story: no fireworks, no great visual effects, no production design (the episode took place in a desert), just good actors and great writing.

I can't wait to see episode #2.
