      Bobby: All these problems, the middle east, the end of the world.
      Tony: Nostradamus. Quasimodo is the hunchback from Notre Dame.

    Awesome! Seth you're a gem. Thanks to everyone involved in ''the Soprano's''. Everyone was watching it but me. In late 2009, early 2010. My mother died, my cousin was murdered, three of my friends commited suicide, and two more died from cancer. I was devastated. I bought the series, and the Wire. And I binged, they helped take me through the worst time in my life. I am still grateful for their escapist realism. They both deserve their accolades.

      @alexandriaocasio-smollett5078 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      First I want to say that I agree with you about Seth. I’m not a massive fan of his. But I thoroughly respect and enjoy his interviewing style. He doesn’t unnecessarily interrupt the guests. He gets the conversation going, and gets out of the way. If he needs to interject more(bc some guests need more help than Steve and Michael😂) he will. But he basically is a conductor.. as opposed to someone like Howard Stern who is supposed to be the conductor, but every single interview, he turns into a soloist. And dominates the conversation. It drives me up a wall.
      Now that that’s out-of-the-way…
      I share the experience you had with watching these shows. Admittedly, my experience wasn’t quite as rough as yours. The fact you’re still standing after going through all that is remarkable. But I too was in a tough place back then. My wife and children were hit by a drunk driver back 2002. The accident claimed her life. Fortunately, my children all survived. But I was at the time massive fan of the show. but after that happened, I remember seeing the episodes on screen when they aired.. but it was almost like I couldn’t emotionally, intellectually, or spiritually be present enough to absorb what I was watching. So during the pandemic, I went back through the series. Anyways… I’m going on too long. I just wanted to say that whilst my experience isn’t identical to yours, I can definitely relate🙏🏽

    I actually got into the show during the pandemic after I was laid off from USPS. Growing up in Jersey City and Hudson county in general, I didn’t realize how much of the show took place in the places I grew up around which made the show more important to me. Throughout the pandemic, I watched it with my dad and we would point out all the landmarks and references made in the show and it brought us closer together as we bonded over not just how good the show was but how much the show was a time capsule into 90s and early 2000s New Jersey ♥️

    Such an incredible show the Sopranos was... Everything was perfect. Makes me sad knowing there likely won't ever be anything as good in our life time for a series

    I had never watched the sopranos until last year and boy what a treat was in store for me, I have watched the entire series 2 times now absolute monster of a show and easily up there with breaking bad at the top of the tree.... I was also very sad when I found out after watching the series for the first time that James Gandolfini had sadly passed....RIP great man very very sadly missed
