I've decided to buy the 1st season after hearing all the good input about the show from everyone here at the board. Once I heard the actor who played "Spider" in Goodfellas was in it, I was sold.
It's going to be the first thing i'm going to tryout on my new TV and DVD Player, so after I finish the necessary hours needed to finish the set, I'll provide my comments about the show.

Spanish, Everyone here is right!! I don't know of anyone who has actually seen the show that doesn't like it. I can honestly say everyone I know who has seen it, loves it. That's gotta say something! Do let us know what you think. TIS

Boy that's the truth Don C. I borrowed season one from a friend who purchased it. I had all kinds of time to watch it, since he was in no hurry to get it back. However, like you said, it's just a matter of pushing a button. I watched the whole season in one day, only taking time out to eat. It is addictive. TIS

It took me 2 1/2 weeks but i'm finally done.
Very good show. It has fine writing, acting, (the only weak links are Tony's children) directing, etc. At first I was a little dissapointed, I expected a lot more action at the beginning but I soon began to value the humorous moments and interaction between all of the characters (GREAT STUFF between James Gandolfini and Lorraine Bracco). What makes this show even more attractive is that it deals with the current mob and shows us things we haven't seen in previous mob movies. This 1st season isn't perfect though, as there are a a couple filler and weak episodes.
Overall, this 1st season was a great ride, it's mob stuff and I love it.

Yeah I agree with you DC when I first got season 2 on DVD I was planning on watching 1 episode per day. Before I knew it I had watched all 13 episodes in one day. I just couldn't put it down. I just got season 3 for christmas, so far I've only watched the first 2 episodes. I know one person that hates it. My mother. She's in her 70's though, and doesn't like the language or violence. I know of another person who doesn't like it. My cousins wife, she says it's to graphic for her tastes.
