I reckon it’s crucial in setting the mood of the whole thing.

She loved it – as for me, I think it’s very watchable, and good enough to keep me coming back for more, but it has yet to really take flight into a thing of greatness in my eyes. Ian is right to single out the chess scene and the falling TVs as particularly good though.

There’ll be a synopsis of what you’ve missed online somewhere. I never really got into the Sopranos; I think I found it hard to care about any of the characters.

Will the 2nd episode make sense if I watch it on monday without having seen the first one or will it be worth waiting for episode one to be shown again at some point?

Also do you not think the Sopranos is worth a mention in your list of greatest ever tv shows?
