I've seen every episode of all three series.
The Sopranos is great, but the last episode knocks it down three pegs.

That's interesting. I thought it was one of the best of the series, given the direction.

The Wire is better, in any case. One of the best shows of all time.

I hope you're okay.

Game of Thrones, The Wire, The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Band of Brothers, Rome, Real Time with Bill Maher, Deadwood, True Detective, True Blood!!!
I love the Sopranos 
Yeah, I noticed that you've mentioned it a few times  ... and was considering watching it based on that. But I'd generally been putting it off, like GoT, again because of preconceptions of what it would be like. In this case because I assume it's a comedy about the Mafia, and generally I like things to be one genre or the other but not both, so when choosing a film to watch etc the last ones I usually go for are 'action comedies' etc because I assume that the comedy aspect will ruin the action aspect or vice versa. But that said, in terms of Mafia comedies I did like Analyze This (and That) so I'm sure I'd like it if I watched it, it's just that that sort of thing effects my will to dive in in the first place

The Sopranos can be quite funny in certain episodes, but it isn't a comedy. It's a crime drama.
I would recommend it.
