Immortal classic!
There are scores of reviews available about this series. I can't compete. Let me just say that I support all those that are positive and am inclined to say that this is one of the best series ever made. Initially, I hesitated viewing it. The mafia theme turned me off. After one episode I was hooked. Almost missed a great, well written, superbly acted story. No, it's not "pretty," not overly horrific either. Accept the story (stories) for itself (themselves) and enjoy!

One of my moms favorites
I like everything about it! It held your interest from start to finish! Probably the only character I didn’t care for which made her a good actress was the one who played his Tony Sopranos mom! But I liked her on. I think it was Lou Grant lol! The cast were all fantastic though! One scene And I won’t give it away because you just have to see it. Was a sceneThat was so dramatic and involved Tony’s psychiatrist! I also liked it that they had a certain restaurant that they hung out at a lot too. It has some violence in it, and I would not recommend it to little kids to watch. Of course, being an original HBO series, you will get foul language and sex scenes and they had many affairs. They seemed to also try to play down the fact that they had side jobs, but they were also out to get people who did them wrong. Just like any other gangster or mobster kind of series. You felt sorry for the women, but they pretty much held their own.

An awesome series starring the late James Gandolfini. We miss you!
A great cable tv series from HBO. I received the series on BluRay (I know, I'm old school).The show is very well done. The star, James Gandolfini playing Tony Soprano is the focus of the series and pulls much of the rest of the cast along. Other standouts include Edie Falco as Carmela Soprano (Tony's wife) and Lorraine Bracco as Dr. Jennifer Melfi (Tony's therapist).Production is adequate with good direction and compelling themes. There are many "adult" themes and some grisly violence, nudity is also prevalent as many of the scenes take place in a nude bar and the characters tend to not be "limited" by any sort of moral compasses. Profanity is extreme and often harsh, exceeding in many ways what one would tend to hear from "a sailor" (or kids in our high schools, for that matter).The series was discontinued to early and quickly, and the concluding episodes show this.But what a story it is! This is probably the best mafia/crime drama ever conceived. Enjoy watching it, but probably not with your children.Please remember our troops and buy American first!

Bad disks & box looked very worn & old.
When I opened this it was wrapped in bubble wrap quite well, but the box looked VERY well worn & old, as if it had been used as a paper weight on someones desk for a few years. I will update after I've had time to watch the disks. - Had a chance to watch the 1st 2 seasons & while the 1st season was fine, most every episode in season 2 has spots where it freezes or starts & stops repeatedly. A few spots even had pixelation & sort of a jittering effect. My wife said even before we started watching she thought this looked like a set that had been returned & just re-sold. I was hoping it was just the box that was bad, but now it's obvious that the disks are bad too. Avoid this seller & buy the series from a different vendor.

Awesome show
If you like this show it's a must buy for your collection. When all internet is lost you can still watch it lol.

Get the U.K. import
I just finished watching this complete series collection of the sopranos on Blue Ray, and I wanted to write a review to hopefully help answer any questions people might have about this U.K. release.The top question for me was whether or not it's region free, considering that the product description says it is, and some reviews on Amazon claim that it's not.The answer is yes; it's totally region free.My blue ray player is region 1, and I had absolutely no trouble playing these discs.Picture quality is great, with a few grainy spots here and there, but that's because of the way they were filmed.Overall, this is the best this show has ever looked.Sound quality is also great, with a 5.1 surround English master.The packaging is also great; unlike many complete series collections that have the discs poorly crammed on top of each other, ( The shield, Sanford and son, ect. )the discs are stored inside separate cases inside the box.Check out the photos I've attached to my review, and you'll see what I mean.It also comes with a bonus picture book, which I really don't care much about, but it's still nice to have I guess.I would recommend the U.K. import over the american release based on price; right now the U.K. import is $70, and the American release is over $100.I hope this helps someone, and thank you for reading.P.S. It shipped very quickly, and arrived before it was said to.
