I’ve been watching the Sopranos for a while now (about two years). I’ve seen the entire last season and it’s great storytelling to say the least. But it’s one of those shows that you gotta watch from the first episode to the last one to truly get into it and become a fan. It’s not like the Godfather but there are some similarities here and there. It’s just a modern mafia. The name “Godfather” is rarely used but in the first few episodes it was. If I where you I’d get the first season on DVD like I’m going to do, I hear it’s great.
