The Mafia TV Series Sopranos Reviewed
If you weren’t interested in The Sopranos when it was on, trust us: It’s not just Goodfellas The Show, or Godfather The Series. It’s worth a try, and thanks to tv and movie downloads, it’s never too late to catch on.
The Sopranos is not a show about gangsters. Well, okay, it is, but more importantly, it’s a show about family. The core of the show is not Tony Soprano’s job, it’s how his job affects his home life with his wife and children, how it affects his friendships and relationship with more distant family members, and even his crew are really just members of his extended family. It’s a show about a family man who just happens to loan shark, steal and scam for a living.
Most crime stories are just crime stories. The Sopranos is a very human show about very real human beings. The crime family thing is a big part of it, but it’s really only the backdrop, it’s what these guys do for a living, it’s not all there is to the show. We can relate to everything the characters on this show go through. We haven’t all been shot by our best friends, but we’ve all been betrayed.
As each season comes, some characters become more unstable and have more and more responsibilities and fears with each new episode. The show is really about the uncertainty and fear in every day life.
The ending is incredible for what it does. Some fans felt gypped by its uncertain, ambiguous nature, but isn’t that what life is all about? You never know what happens next, you never know what’s going to happen to you from minute to minute. Can you guess what you’ll be doing at this time tomorrow? Forget all those fan theories about what happened after the smash cut, it’s not about that. The point is that there was a smash cut because this is where our time with Tony Soprano ends, and nobody knows what will happen next.
The show made some important innovations in televised storytelling, sort of as a reaction to reality TV. With fictional television becoming so predictable, people turned to reality TV, and so, to compete, David Chase decided to mix the unpredictability and realism of reality TV with the strong character and story development of fiction, resulting in a show that revolutionized TV and paved the way for shows like LOST and House M. D.
Just remember, as you watch the series, that there are a lot of unanswered questions. Don’t rack your brain trying to figure everything out, just accept that, like life, the show is confusing and you never really have all the answers.
The moral to the story is simply that life is hard to figure out. It goes on and on and you never really cross a finish line, nothing ever happens that solves all problems once and for good. It’s difficult, confusing and frustrating, and all anyone can do is just go from day to day trying to make the most of what time they have on this world. That’s really all there is to it, and looking for any deeper meaning in the show… You won’t find it, and that’s why it’s so true to life and, really, deeply meaningful in its meaninglessness.
