the soprano be perhaps the most mind opening series you could possibly ever want to watch . it smart and it quirky and it funny and it carry the mafia genre so well that most people can not resist watch . the best aspect of this show be the overwhelming realism of the character and set in the subterranean world of the new york crime family . for most of the time and you really do not know whether the wise guy will stab someone in the back and or buy them lunch . far add to the realistic approach of the character in this show be the depth of their personality these be dangerous men and most of them murderer and but by god if you do not love them too . i have laugh at their wisecrack and be tear when they have make err in judgement and and felt scar at the sheer ruthlessness of a serious criminal . the suburban setting of new jersey be absolutely perfect for this show subtext people aren not always a they seem and and the stark contrast between humdrum and the action take by these seemingly petty criminal weigh up to even the odds . if you haven not already and you most definitely should .
