Had to re-upload this recap due to CZcams age-restricting the original.
To the newcomers to this video, I hope you enjoy! To those coming back wondering why I uploaded this twice, thanks for the continued support!
Thanks for redoing this... still one of the best recaps around
Best shoe ever. The writing and acting couldn't have been better. Amazing
With Paulie trying to flip in season 4 It just makes me believe 100% that Tony dies at the end of season 6.
Paulie would become the boss or would join NY as a high ranking member since there were many available spots.. What a great show I just finished it last night.
@@taylor0000027 I think Tony dies there too, cuz Meadow doesn't know how to drive, she would have been in the booth and possibly blocking an attack?
Funny how Paulie of all characters survives it all.
And idk if it's just me... But I seem to have a love/hate with just about every character on the show, except Tony's dumb kids. The acting is so good they really sold their characters.
@@DollarGeneral_Is_a_Plague Man, I swear I can't even watch any other shows anymore... Watched Sopranos for the first time ever late last year and it's in my head rent free. You got any TV show recommendations ?
I really appreciate your approach to covering the final scene. Whether or not Tony is killed, he’s still doomed to look over his shoulder and never feel safe.
Passing out at the very sight of a slice of gabagool, a box of Uncle Ben's, and a photo of his ma.
He said his doctor said spicy foods could trigger a relapse and his last meal was onion rings 😂
Janice really played the field huh
Janice "Nymfo" Soprano
Hoe foSho
Janice made me question myself because I hated her so much and only wanted her to fail..
@@se7enthsoul - SAME! The only time I was ever on her side was when she killed Richie after he punched her in the face. But, that wasn’t really about me being on *her* side, specifically. I was on the side of a woman who was just assaulted by her partner. Immediately I was pissed at her again when Tony had to come over & fix everything for her while she did nothing but act like a broken victim, then run away. If you shoot a guy, you better be prepared to clean up after yourself, or you only have yourself to blame. I don’t mind Tony’s help…I mind that she left the responsibility on him, exclusively. Although one of my favorite all time Sopranos moments was when she was getting on the bus & she asked Tony what he did with Richie’s body.
She annoyed me even more when she was with Bobby. She’s just always doing manipulative shit…..but even when it works the way she wanted it to, there’s just no reason for any of it.
Yeah she was worse than Ritchie
Love rewatching the first season where everyone was young, happy, and alice
Life in the 1990s vs Post-9/11
Season 1 is such an evergreen, always a good time to hop back to
@@rouk2621 yes. That's exactly how I feel about it. It's comforting.
Alice was my favorite character.
Lmao my friend said to me when I started sopranos not long back “ahh season 1, things where so happy then”
One of the best shows to ever exist! It’s so authentic
One of?
One of the best? nah nah nah mate, I´m afraid its the only VERY BEST EVER IN THE HISTORY OF TIME!
@@queteimporta7224 Gomorrah is better than the sopranos. Seethe.
The wire
🇮🇹🇺🇸🤙🏻Of course its one of.. True blood was awesome game of thrones is awesome, house of the dragon is awesome, shoot The 100 is awesome too..😂
Very good recap. It’s tough to recap the later seasons because there’s so much nuance and character development but this is very good.
I have 3 friends who are huge fans of the sopranos. These are dudes who work in construction, in law enforcement, and a barber, Yknow every day normal dudes.
They spent so many years quoting the show, cracking jokes from the show, and making references that I figured they were super fans.
During the pandemic I decide to actually watch the show for the first time and was blew away how amazing it was, and I ran to them to talk about the show.
I then learned they didn’t even understand most of what was going on in the story, especially the last season.
I’m of the belief that A LOT of sopranos fans don’t understand the greater story as a whole and just love the jokes and the dark comedy among the colorful characters.
@@steverogers7601that's why so many people complained about the finale - because they never understood the show in the first place.
I've seen a ton of great shows, but nobody wrote consistently great dialogue quite like the writers of The Sopranos. Every tiny detail of this show is just incredible. Nothing is taken for granted.
theres a reason breaking bad is the Greatest show of all time but this show is good to
@@sillygoose4263 that isn't true but I do respect your opinion. Breaking Bad is a good show
“Every tiny detail” is just hype and grandiose talking.
The sopranos did have great, colorful, and entertaining characters, and it absolutely had beautiful writing and dialogue but I don’t see this having incredible details.
The Wire did not have better characters than the sopranos but that show was riddled with finer details and VERY clever writing of a story as a whole.
@@steverogers7601No matter how hard I try, I can only hear an annoying nasally voice from your comment. I mean it’s hard not to see you as a pretentious guy cause your disrespectful and matter of fact way of talking.
The Wire had better writing, characters, and storylines than the Sopranos💯
I like that you went in a linear way with the timeline. The whole show was amazing, easily in my top 5 of all time especially the first 3 seasons
First 3.. 1-4... 1-6B.
Furio is the definition of loyalty and intelligence.
One of the TV-shows I will never get enough no matter how many times I watch it.
Just like All In The Family, Sanford & Son and any Norman Lear sitcon. When I want to laugh, I put in Ester and Fred. How they keep a straight face shooting those episodes is beyone me.
@@austinteutschha ha ha Sanford and son was on high rotation during apartheid South Africa. That show was classic.
Same here the best ever
YOU ACTUALLY EXPLAINED THE ENDING! 10/10
What was the ending
@@MazizoElegante The show producers said Tony got whacked at the diner.
@@lear60man by who exactly ? And who the new fbi informant ?
@@kipovat6560 The whacker was never identified. It could be pay back for one of the thousands of bad thing Tony did over his career.
@@lear60man nah the producer said that tony didn't die, it was supposed to be a season 7 but unfortunately it didn't happen
It’s so crazy how different James looks at 0:18 to season 2 and on. Had to gain weight for the role I hate to think it contributed to his passing. Such a good actor and better guy.
Dude was living the mob life. Not only did he get fat he was also doing coke constantly, which I'm sure led to his heart attack.
@@vulcan6926 1st time I'm hearing about this cola habit..
@xshiller yeah dude was living the life lol
@@vulcan6926 drugs and Hollywood go hand in hand so I'm not surprised but what puzzles me is that it's never been mentioned..usually if a celebrity has a habit, their addiction is splattered over every tabloid, website etc (I.e. Johnny Depp ). All I know is that he worked like a mf, every episode..he'd work for like 20hrs, taking power naps in between or staying awake to look like he just woke up. It also explains his very nasal sounding voice, even though NY/NJ accents often ARE nasal. I guess I'm curious to know your source.. care to share?
I'm surprised that Imperioli didn't get sick from snorting all those B vitamins ( aka movie coke).
Edit: as for the weight..I don't doubt that it contributed but if u pay close attention, when he eats, he tends to play with his food.. and there are ALOT of eating scenes..makes me hungry every time.
@xshiller Google it, It was also the reason why his wife divorced him. He really didn't hide it he mentioned it in interviews. Dude was Bing drinking and having snow parties. I believe the actress who played Carmella was also into the white stuff.
Excellent recap of the series! Great introduction to anyone who's never watched it, and a great trip down memory lane for the fans who've studied the series from day 1, and continue to keep watching..
This really is a great way to reminisce and remember these shows without devoting the time again
really impressed with the narration of this video, it's just so straightforward, awesome stuff :)
From all the recaps video's I've seen. This honestly has to be the best one. Straightforward without adding to much detail but also very formative to understand the seasons.
Has a Chat GPT feel to me but that's okay, it's still pretty good.
I just finished watching the show, and i find it sometimes hard to follow who is who , how they are related and their true intentions. This recap helped me better appreciate what i just watched, so thanks !
How I gonna say that with a persona pfp go hang with Yosuke bro he’s about to rank up
You should pay more attention
@@YellowBriefs for real lol
You are an idiot if you havent realised who was who after first watch
You are an idiot if you havent realised who was who after first watch
Furio was a beast
An operator who gets the job done. True commitment to his role in the crew
Tge italian Terminator
They were homicidal maniacs . Carmela was a textbook narcissist and ultimate hypocrite in the series .
@@frederickloucks4865 Don’t forget manipulator
stupida fackin game
Fun Fact: Carmine Lupertazzi is played by the actual Tony Lip, who is Viggo Mortensen’s character in The Green Book (2018)
I thought Viggo in Green Book reminded me of Paulie or at least a Young Paulie
Every few years I rewatch the series.
Junior was being looked after from Bobby Junior since season two even during the Richie Aprille drama. Bobby was watching him way before because of his father was close to Junior.
This is a great video. Cuts, Narration, Information, i´m really impressed. Subbed!
Nice to come back to this show every now and then : ) great narration on your recap
I do it all the time
Bravo! That was well done. As a Saprono fan you did a great job. Thanks and I just subscribed.
what a series this was. I couldn’t wait for Sunday nights to come home and watch the newest episodes.
I wish I was alive at that time, seems like such an awesome series to catch as it progresses
I was born during the final season i grew up watching this show with my dad
Brilliant recap, truly the best I've ever watched. Thank you for posting ♥️
I just subbed
This video shows how well the show was written. Thanks for this
MASTERPIECE!!!
Great writing, great casting, deep character development just a MASTERPIECE!
I've seen a few of your vids now. This is a great series that I caught very late due to not having HBO. Excellent recap and vid!
Junior was willing to work with Richie on planning another hit but if everybody remembers Richie could not sell it as Uncle Junior said and also asked who am I better off with
It's crazy, binge watching this within a couple weeks. I barely remember a lot of this on my own... Great video. Nice work!
I don't think binge watching shows is good if you want to really take it all in and remember it all. Gonna watch this again I guess 🤷
Did you end up watching it again? It's kind of a tough rewatch IMO mostly because it's a slow burn and it's a bit tricky to sit through the hours of character building scenes again already knowing the input and outputs.
I appreciate this. Only through Covid I could actually sit and run through some series but not everything of course.
The ending of the series is perfect.
Tony did NOT give Ralph the “go ahead” to kill Jackie Jr. They agreed to give Jackie a pass. Ralph killed Jackie to keep him from telling Tony that the robbery was an idea that Ralph put in Jackie’s head with the Feech Lamana story.
Tony gave Ralph the go ahead without explicitly doing so. He knows Jackie's actions are because of Ralph's guidance as a father figure in some way and wants him to suffer. Saying "The guys will understand." is his way of saying "Good luck getting the guys to understand". Tony has caught him a catch-22 and is savouring a moment where he can step back from an executive decision and keep the heat off himself.
Tony definitely gave the order to kill Jackie Jr without saying so but Ralph knew it is what Tony wanted
also was the reason to tony's and christofer figth that ended when christofer realized that it was his plan all along, Ralph killing J Jr
Tony was neutral about whether or not Jackie Jr should be killed which was bad on his part since that's the son of his deceased close friend.
Didn't Feech also tell the story in the back room of the Bing?
Great interpretation of the ending, instead of debating if he got shot or not, you described the purpose and meaning of the ending
Great video, Analysis of the seasons is succinct ❤
Half way through the vid, and this is excellent work!!
I'm late to this show. 20 years old and I only started to binge watch 2.months ago. Love it. Half way thru series 6 as of today, once finished I'll be watching all the Sopranos related stuff here on CZcams. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💥💥💥💥💥
THAT WAS A MARVELOUS RECAP OF "THE SOPRANOS." IT ANSWERED A LOT OF MYSTERIES AND CONFUSION FOR ME. THANK YOU. ❤
Great recap, friend
This recap takes all the fun out of the series. Thanks Mr. Condom.
Oh, Meadow Soprano. You got me through many lonely teenage evenings, lol. Such a smoke show.
Tony was murdered in that diner, David Chase recently confirmed it
Who cares that's not the point
Good job one of the best explanations from top to bottom..
Great video. Sopranos was a one of my favorites shows. ✌🏻💖🌺
I can honestly say sopranos and the wire are tied for the greatest written series ever
Deep... The Wire is my next Series to Bindge watch.. just finished Sopranos last week or so.. I heard how good the wire is but never saw it, nor power.. so I suppose I have a nice line up waiting
@@ColinoDeani the wire has a slow buildup just like the sopranos once season 3 hits all hell literally breaks loose. So much murder, corruption, and betrayal
@@MyNameisMyName25 they written so beautifully tho
Breaking Bad
@@nghakakhalthang8062breaking bad is certainly top ten just like the sopranos is. The best show ever is the wire though
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
Perfectly 👍👍👍 done . Thanks for uploading,🌟🌟🌟!!
I've passed on this video for a long time, but not tonight. This truly a great summary of the show.
Well done. Thanks for the recap.
I'm pretty sure that wasn't an easy task to do and a little over 20 mins too. Thanks for the recap!
crazy, that's the summation of the show but even that is not enough to fully grasp how amazing the show was. you have to watch it yourself then before you know it, you're fully invested in these truly unhinged characters. peak fiction right here
THANK YOUUUU LESS GOO, finally a solid sopranos recap 🙏🏽🙏🏽 couldn’t find no whole sopranos series recap 🤌🏽
Excellent job, keep up the good work
“Unchecked Anger Problem” 😂 I like to think of it as noticed but ignored. 😂😂😂
I didn't have cable, so never watched The Sopranos when on HBO.
HOWEVER, when A&E picked it up, their promotion was insane.
They had, pre-airing, a game where you could get points for predicting how many times Carmela, Tony, etc.would wear gold jewelry, or Tony would smoke a cigar, or someone would drink booze, and the like. Of course, ppl who had seen it before would win easily, but I found it fun to play.
That promo really hooked me - even though The Sopranos had come and gone as a cultural phenomenon.
I love the series and have watched it many, many times! Use quotes from it ...a lot.
Your recap is terrific!
And that "cut to black" STILL makes me teary-eyed...always.
Thank you!
Phenomenal overview...thanks
Love this! It all makes sense now 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One of the greatest shows of all time!
Without question
Amazing breakdown
Best. Show. Ever..🔥
Seasons 2 & 3 are flawless..
That title belongs to the wire, but the sopranos is nothing to sneeze at either. The sopranos is a masterpiece in its own right
I don’t really watch tv shows or movies I watch a lot of documentaries and CZcams videos but this show was fantastic
Great overall summary for an excellent mob classic !
Amazing recap
great delineation of plot/ I need that as my mind wanders.
Love it: miss it :great acting: I watch it over and over again .😊
The whole therapist thing is what elevated this show to perfection in my opinion. Way ahead of its time
What’s hilarious and still spot on is how I know dudes who watch the show, feel enlightened from watching the therapist scenes.
They say it gave them perspective and something to consider.
Meanwhile, these same dudes have a wide array of issues that severely impact their lives, which prompted me recommending them going to therapy but they get so defensive/angry and claim therapy doesn’t work and it isn’t a cure all.
Tony was definitely wacked in that diner at the very end, just in time for Meadow to witness it. Tragic, but you’d expect nothing less than that. There are a few reasons that’s the case but chief among them is that at the beginning of the final season Tony discussed the fact that being assassinated would be quick and just cutting to darkness
Too bad the actor died in front of his real child in real life
one thing that bugged me was that both Carmela and A.J. looked nervous and kinda sus when they entered the diner, and this could have been a coincidence but neither of them sat at the right of Tony, leaving an empty seat for Meadow that was conveniently late, so the hitman could had a clear shot once he exited the restroom.
For years this made me think that they set him up.
Anyway, the writer explained many times that anyone can picture what he wants to (it's a beautiful finale indeed, but clearly anyone that closes his series with a cut to black and say "now finish it how you want" took the easy path)
The reason the series ended like it did was because Chase, the actors and the studio were in discussions for a possible Sopranos feature film. If the check was big enough and Gandolfini had lived Tony would have been fine in that diner.
@@NekoHibaCosplay Yeah, Meadow was his guardian angel. If she wasn't so bad a parallel parking I think the guy coming out of the toilet wouldn't risked the shot and waited for another opportunity.
@@MJ-we9vubullshit. He died in the diner
I recently bought the box set. Love this show.
Excellent job!
This show had over 62 kills to it's name
It used to be an interior decorating show!
Really? Their house looked like shit
That's why the sets didn't look like shit.
i never understood this joke lol
Awesome stuff! Could you do Mad Men at some point? :)
I want to start doing more recaps of classic series and I love Mad Men, so it’s a definite possibility!
Because of you i was able to watch the greatest tv series ever in 20 minutes. You are a hero sir.
Wait what? You never even watched the sopranos and yet you watched this video and labeled it “the best show ever” 🤔why don’t you just watch the show lad? It truly is great
This series I can’t put as good , even great or excellent after the rewatch. I thought this show would age after the rewatch. This series is perfect. 10/10. 100%. Zero bad episodes. I loved this show when I originally watched it, this is a timeless classic. Best show of the 2000’s.
Christopher is his COUSIN by marriage but Tony refers him as his nephew because he looked up to Christopher’s father as a brother… Gotta get these things right 😅
Man it feels like I just watched the entire series all over again! Brilliant recap! I felt the cringe tho when I thought you'd hit on Melfi's assault and she chose not to take revenge on her attacker using Tony (Employee of the Month?). Fortunately, you didn't touch that. :)
It was a masterful episode between Bracco's featured acting and that cold ending.
The final scene was hard to watch but it was also one of the best takes... I liked how they filmed it similar to The God Father scene.
Anyone else notice how Eugene Pontacorvo wasn't mentioned, yet had quite a role to play. Considering the Members Only jacket playing a pivotal role after trying to pay his way out of the family before feeling compelled 2 kill himself when denied. After his wife's remarks about Tony, its obvious ( to me) that It was Gene who had Tony killed an eye for an eye.
How was Eugene able to order a hit on Tony after he killed himself lmao
@bakashinji Eugene wanted to pay his way out of the mob. He got refused, and payed to have Tony clipped. The guy was wearing a members only jacket that Eugene used to sport. Next scene is blackness. Eugene had to have atleast a hand in it
Eugene killed himself. I doubt if he was planning to have Tony killed he would bother to kill himself. Maybe his wife or something.
@@andrewfletcher8461My old man wore a Members Only jacket. Maybe he clipped Tony, eh?
@bakashinji That's the 'genius' (atleast to you)part. He paid for the killing of Tony but hung himself knowing he couldn't get away with it before the truth came out. Grow a brain it's not that far fetched. Atleast to some
Really not Gunna mention Phil did 20 years?
Never watched a single episode, but have watched hundreds of clips throughout the years. Thanks for this video; it pulled all those individual scenes into context for me and it was a hell of a ride.
Meadow running into the diner….
One of the songs on the table jukebox was Who Will You Run To by Heart:
Who will you run to when it all falls down?
Who’s going to pick your world up off of the ground?
Very nice. Thanks.
"The Sopranos" is such a classic in the world of TV series! It's amazing how it blends drama, complex characters, and a deep dive into the psyche of its protagonists. The journey from Season 1 through Season 6 offers a rich tapestry of storytelling that captivates audiences. It's always intriguing to see how different seasons contribute to the overall arc of a series, especially with a show as nuanced as "The Sopranos". Recapping the entire series and explaining the ending must be quite the endeavor, considering the depth and layers of the narrative!
Y’know I never knew until just now that it was Silvio who owned the Bing and not Tony. I always thought it was a Tony owned front business.
Carmela was so hot in the early seasons
Season 2 was my favorite with her. She really had the Jersey wife look to her that year.
The priest had a field day with season 1 carm.
Lol what?😂
Janice was getting passed around like a blunt 😭
Best recap on the market
Livia,Carmela and Janice all in their own ways were just as dangerous or even more so than the men. Livia telling Junior" she didn't know Brendan" and his murder started a domino effect on Junior's crew AND the family being decimated, Carmela not only being com plicit in Tony's action but also affection how he made decisions within his crew (questioned Vito,Paulie and Christopher to Tony) and Janice went from acting sneaky and stubborn like Johnny Boy to also being more like Livia towards the end
i wish every video was this good
I missed some things....After all this time! Thank you😁
I hope you did a recap on the rest! I don’t know if you have I haven’t looked but just saying!
Glad there were no spoilers in this.
Great video
great recap, you clearly had the makings of a varsity athlete.
best show ever
Remember when Christopher had an NDE.. he got the message for tony. 3 o’clock. If the shooter came out of the bathroom, the shot came from his 3 o’clock position.
I love your videos.
Correction the pine barens thing wasn't a hit they went there to collect money and the guy ended up with the luggage
thank you king
No series as big as The Sopranos these days, will ever take such a risk on an ending like The Sopranos did. Talk about ballsy. Fantastic. What a series.
Genuinely feel a little lost when finishing the complete boxset. Never have I ever become so invested in the characters and the lives they lived.
Then we just watch it again...RIGHT?
@@MagesseT1 no wtf unless i get brain damage no rewatch can bring me the same amount of joy
That’s why I feel like they ended Breaking Bad in such a neat little bow, because they didn’t want the same scrutiny
