I don't usually enjoy mafia stories unless it's about Tony Soprano. And also, I can't watch an 86-episode series in one month unless it's The Sopranos.
The Sopranos took the first step firmly and was continuously evolving from the very first episode to the last. The allure of the personal lives of the supporting characters in some episodes surpasses that of the main character, and this multitude of characters has contributed to the beauty of the story.
Contrary to most series that use attractive appearances to attract viewers, many characters in this story are not very appealing at first glance. For example, the main character Tony may not be appealing to some at first sight. However, what has made this series worth watching is the actors' performances, the engaging story, the right direction, and a camera that is not seeking self-display.
By watching the series over time, I connected with the characters, and in the middle of the series, I realized that the lead actor, James Gandolfini, from 2013, had passed away. This fact was so strange and unbelievable to me that I felt bad for a few days, and then I realized that the director had managed to relate us well to the story's characters.
The Sopranos is on one side mafia-themed and ruthless, and on the other deeply familial, showcasing many complexities of parent-child relationships. Furthermore, the psychological aspect of the series in some scenes is like a classroom, and one can learn from it.
Overall, The Sopranos, with all its terrifying scenes, boundless violence, numerous betrayals, and consecutive murders, is not only full of emotional and dramatic moments but sometimes becomes intensely humorous and makes one laugh.
