Have been slowly re-watching The Soprano's. 1. From a production value / aesthetic, holds up incredibly well relative to other "prestige" TV 2. Original viewing for me was 20 years ago. Hits way different with kids, inching closer to "mid-life". 3. Show is prescient in capturing the decline of Pax Americana civic religion / End of History / clash of tradition with modernity / "Bowling Alone" that started to accelerate at the turn of the century. 4. Gandolfini is top 10 all-time for a character portrayal.

Did my first rewatch in a decade last year. So many deeper insights but don't want to spoil. How far are you?

i just started it for the first time, finished season 1 wildly good show and i was completely unprepared to focus so distinctly (in a really interesting way!) on mid-life depression

It took me some trials to keep watching The Sopranos and The Wire, but they ended up being the most incredible shows I’ve ever seen. Cultural masterpieces.

agree with all of this. Gandolfini was such a treasure! There’s an incredible story of him supporting Jamie-Lynn Sigler through her diagnosis of MS (while on the show!) in this episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-is-short-with-justin-long/id1459899327?i=1000659297016

i havent gotten myself to watch sopranos or the wire. tried a few times starting them in the last few years. for some reason i cannot keep going. and i do love drama - succession, industry, breaking bad, ozark, narcos etc. why cannot i get into them? has the zeitgeist moment passed?
