I'm not a series guy, for several not relevant reasons, but I'm thinking about following one of them for a while. Have been thinking about Los Soprano, but it's just too huge to start with it, could be this one then? Steve Buscemi is a don... Just start with The Sopranos, Barny. There is really no reason why anybody shouldn't have this watched. If you start with Boardwalk Empire you'll have to wait every week, then for next season. With The Sopranos you can start and just keep injecting that shit straight into your veins. I haven't decided if I am going to wait week to week on BE or wait till the season is over to mainline it.

Jake's right Barny. If your going to watch any series then start at the top. The Soprano's really is the finest drama series thing ever made. 6 series of sheer amazingness

First episode was probably a 7/10. Definitely got better as the episode went on.

My point was that I don't wanna start with something that consumes much of my time, so once in a week could be fine for me. But I'm seeing The Soprano in the future for sure anyway

Watched the first episode. Pretty good. Buscemi is great as always. The glossy look of the boardwalk etc. looked a bit weird to me too. Most outdoors scenes were like green screen.

First time I saw him was in a movie called Bully which was made by the dude who made Kids. Based on a true story that I knew well, but he was fucking hilarious as a stoner fuckup.

Look, I love Steven Vincent "Steve" Buscemi. But he isn't the right dude for this role. When he says things like "can't have dead bodies all over the road" or "this is how you fucking repay me" it really, really doesn't come off as it should. It is possible that his meager stature will be written into the show, you know, as a character trait, but in this first ep, Stevie B was miss-cast.
edit: It could be that I am entirely too in love with Gandolfini's god-like portrayal, but I really don't think that is the case. I went into BE with a wide open mind. But like I mentioned, let's give Stevie and the story time to flesh out a bit. It certainly has the potential to be amazing.

Hey, he's been in a bunch of movies. Also, Funny Games. He's always reminded me of DiCaprio.

Watched the first two and just kept downloading the rest. Not that I don't like it but think I'll save them and watch them in one go.

watched 4 of them. i don't know really, the characters are a bit stale at the moment. My favourite is nocky's brother, the sheriff. Obviously, Ive said to other people about hbo shows, that you need to watch at least 4 eps. So gonna stick with it because im already in it.

Seems decent so far. It'd be nice if they'd ease up on the tits/ass/lesbian shit, though. Doesn't really feel like it adds much to the story other than Jimmy's wife being a lesbo and they're doing it just because the show's on HBO. But overall its at an 8/10.

I watched the pilot right after it aired and didn't mind it to much.
But I was reading some reviews and they are saying it has been so-so written and lacking depth as it goes into its finale.

The couple episodes have been very strong and it seems like it will end really well. I don't think its one of the best HBO shows by any means but I am not disappointed by the show.
