now i have read some negative review for this show on this website and quite frankly i be appal . for anyone to even think that the soprano be not television then i be afraid i do not know what the world have come to . let me tell u something . i start watch many t. v show like lose and prison break and dexter and deadwood and even invasion . but all of those show lose their touch after the first season and especially lose and prison break which i refuse to watch because the company take 2 genius idea and butcher them by make more than one season . then we have the soprano . i can honestly say that this be the only television series that i have ever watch where i have be enthral in all of it season and and more importantly all of it episode . there be no department that this show doesn not excel in . act nothing short of superb . james gandolfini be one of my favourite actor and i feel that his acting be absolutely stunning in every episode and after i hear that hbo want ray liotta to play tony i felt that it would have be the good choice and however after watch the first few episode and i know that hbo have do a great job in cast james a tony . the raw emotion he display be superb . then we have everyone else and edie falco and michael imperioli and lorraine bracco and dominic chianese ( whom i remember a johnny ola in the godfather part 2 ) and my personal two favourite character tony sirico and steve van zandt paulie walnuts gualtieri and silvio dante . all of these actor perform to the best quality and and all give an excellent performance in each episode . then we have the story and never have i be so suck into a t. v show before . the story be nothing short of excellent . each episode be direct superbly and the score of this show be just fantastic . i feel that the soprano be one show that i can watch again and again and never get bore of . it get everything from hilarious humour to brutal violence and but nonetheless it be and will always be the best thing to ever grace the television and and i challenge anyone to find a real flaw in the show . not just say it too violent and or they feel that the character of tony be immoral and i mean it be a mafia show at the end of the day and i do not think that the character be go to be very honest or loyal to god . i implore everyone to watch this show because believe me and you will be hook from the very first episode and i be and i have even get a few friend who have firstly refuse to watch the show and hook on it . trust me when i say that this show be a godsend compare to the crap that come on t. v. after you have watch the first season and you will inevitably agree with me when i once again say that this show dominate television and and no t. v show current or future will ever upstage the marvel that be the soprano .
