The Sopranos was VERY realistic in my opinion, in fact much of the material was pulled straight from real life events, although the creator will never admit it.
Are you serious? I wrote a post in the Sopranos section on how the thing would happened in real life
http://www.gangsterbb.net/threads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=774074#Post774074First of all: the respect: the Lupertazzi won't respect a small family in NJ like in the show,because the Gambinos treat the Decav like your own crew and Gotti ordered him to remade an induction creremony in the 1980s;
Second:plausibility:before 9/11 with a more massive FBI control than today, you can't stay all day taking the sun in front of Satriale and even if you have a no show job, because many mobsters was sentenced because had a no show job.
Ok kill the stripper maybe there was no cameras out Bada Bing but when Paulie and Chris kill a waiter of a casinos for sure there was camera to record the killing.
Third:the War: in real life when the Colombos went to war in the 1990s the family was almost disbanded where in the Soprano a family of 60 made men win against a 200 made me family and kill its boss that was in the NJ with his wife and nephew instead stay hidden in NY,and the Feds didn't do anything.
