I've been a huge fan of the Sopranos since the beginning. Unlike most things that achieve a huge fan following, I didn't "miss the train" on this one. I love the premise. I think the acting and writing are excellent. And, while I don't condone the moral flexibility of the characters of the show, I do think it both entertaining to watch their struggles and socially beneficial to explore the implications for real life.
Four episodes into what is the final season, I have noticed some serious rumblings on the internet about the show. People are saying they don't like what has happened. They are saying it is boring so far. They are saying they don't get it.
I think they are already missing the show.

I liked the last 4 episodes. Well I missed the third but read the story online. Yeah, it seems to be about endings. Who likes that, certainly not me. (I get upset when someone threatens to take their blog down 🙂
I think the show is meant to provoke and then provoke some more. It’s kinda brilliant in my opinion. My husband always thought it was silly, but this season he is hooked too. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I thought Tony was going to die or stay in a coma and all hell would break loose over power and control, but that didn’t happen. I guess with most things I watch, I can predict what will happen. It’s a smart show, I have no idea what will happen next.
ps. I wanted to see what would happen if Carmela had to come to terms with life on her own, that would have been interesting. Because even when they were getting divorced, she was still living the same lifestyle.

It seems to me like they are following along in classic Sopranos story style, get you into it with the first episode and then a filler episode or two to give you someone to hate before things get really hot.
I’ve also been there since Season 1.
