With the recent passing of James Gandolfini, I felt it'd be a good time to do something I'd been meaning to do: a commentary on The Sopranos. I begin by candidly acknowledging my love for the show, ladling praise on David Chase and the late Gandolfini before explaining the series' significance. The show had a truly unique sense for the surreal and a wonderful sense of humor, I decide, and that's what set it apart in its genre. While describing how the pilot episode is different from the body of the series, I find time to wax nostalgic about how perfectly of its time The Sopranos was and explain the family's intricate hierarchy. Then I drop a bunch of Italian curse words. Salud!
