we need sopranos 3 times a week :) edit: its crazy that yall like this series 2 episodes in, it took me like a season to warm up. this show gets better (and darker) with every season

Cole

In my opinion this is when the sopranos really gets going. The first two episodes were almost like introductions to the world and establishing the characters. From here on I think it starts getting really good really quick.

Michael M

You recognized Michael Imperioli from White Lotus. If you remember that was set in Italy :) If Hollywood needs an American exploring his Italian heritage, he's always on the short-list to play that role.

Jack SV

Damn and I was just getting used to the old schedule lol

ashton

Milena saying that they are doing long reviews just with speculations lol, so get ready because when things start to be revealed you two will need 1 hour or more just with review and I can't wait for that

first of all and nothing to do with the sopranos in case someone finds it as funny as i did and since house of the dragon episodes are not longer being updated https://youtu.be/-DclGvXn-7s?si=z-Pu2r_28DGM7OWM and second, since i started the show i've been hearing about it everywhere and i even got spoiled 💀 i was listening to crazy in love by beyonce the other day and they even name-dropped tony soprano.

Really happy you guys are so hooked! Was checking all the time for you guys to throw The Sopranos up on a poll. Will be subbed all the way through to the end of the series.

Jay Craig

So funny what you said at the beginning about all the shows being good, think this is the only time ever where every show you’re watching at the same time is one of my favourites LOL. LM golden age.

Yarrow

Is it not weird that Tony's gift/prank for his friend Jackie includes being in the same room with Jackie while he gets jerked off? lmao

As one of the 2% that is here for your reviews and discussions after the episodes probably more so than the actual reactions to moments throughout please never stop your long reviews. So glad you're already so into this show, it really does hook you early and drag you along for the crazy ride as you get immersed in these people lives. It's not always a particularly easy watch but it's so superbly executed that like The Wire you cannot stand to miss a second of it. Hope you all are doing well

You asked what the mob "does" to make money, and this episode pretty much nailed it: What they do is extort money from OTHER businesses. Generally speaking, they do some sort of initial "favor" for the people who own a particular business, and in return they get a portion of the income from that business going forward. Forever. Garbage collection is the quintessential mafia business, which you saw in the first episode, and now they're muscling in on a motel. After this small bit of strong-arming, they will now get a few hundred bucks from this guy every week. That doesn't sound like much, but if you have 50 business like that it grows and grows. They do the same thing with plenty of other organizations that aren't "businesses" per se, but it runs the same way. Labor unions are one of the stereotypes, where the mob controls the union and gets a kickback from the "pension fund" or something for every contract they have. They will also do all sorts of other individual crimes (we saw Christopher doing truck hijacking, and Tony's friend Hesh does loansharking). But the "business" of the Mafia is making sure the other businesses keep paying week after week.

On patron it’s probably the majority that watch the reviews.

RepliCant

2% club here 😂

sand_fl

also, completely forgot to mention it last night, but you mentioning los serrano and it being the reason you wrongly say los soprano was really funny. same thing if you ask me 😂😂

Worth mentioning: This is also what Charmaine Bucco is worried about. Tony and Artie are friends, but if Tony gets involved with their business -- as an investor, or even by giving them "free" cruise tickets -- that would (probably) lead to a situation where Tony asserts more and more control over their business.

Darrach

I like how Lola’s favourite phrase for figuring out a character is to “gouge them out” which she has created herself from getting ‘gouge’ mixed up with ‘gauge’ at some point and just ran with it, like Milena and “shockiest” lol

A neat thing about the structure of the episode is that the title refers to each of the three therapy scene tony has in this episode. - first one was him in denial telling himself that jackie is gonna beat the cancer - second he lets his anger and frustration get the better of him and he lashes out at melfi - third after seeing how bad jackie has really become, he becomes more accepting and ponders more philosophical questions. This show also does a good job of keep things pretty ambiguous and not spelling things out exactly when it poses some questions. At the end when melfi asks tony if he feels like frankenstein, some shows may just have tony say "yes" or "no", but they chose to just show him react emotionally to meadow singing but still not give an explicit answer as to what exactly he's getting teary about even if we can make a good guess. A better example was the first episode where they reveal that he links ducks to his family and that he feels dread about losing them, but then stops short of laying out what exactly that dread is when melfi asks for more. The episode actually gives some hints and foreshadowing but it's not gonna be too clear on a first watch and can have multiple meanings. Future episodes will have complex and ambitious examples of this.

Exactly, I love the ambiguity of this show. Especially during therapy sessions, either Melfi or Tony asks some very interesting questions, maybe some big questions about life, but then we immediately cut to another scene, abruptly ending the therapy scene and leaving us in ambiguity. Just like in real life, most things are unresolved and just left in mystery. All we can do is give our own answers and meaning. There are so many examples like this throughout the show, especially in later seasons. The Sopranos is probably the most profound TV series ever made.

I listen to you two your reviews and everything, I love it! keep the long reviews!!

Christophers girlfriend played Wendy Teller in Sons of Anarchy. The actress initially appeared in the pilot episode as the restaurant host, but was re-casted when the series was picked up.
