Summary: How I got hooked
Review: My husband and I missed the first season of the Sopranos because we didn't have HBO at the time, so he decided to buy the DVDs. I was quite skeptical at first, but soon I was hooked. There's something so addictive about this series. Needless to say, we're now HBO subscribers!. This set is well worth the money.

Summary: Excellent series!!!!
Review: The is the first HBO series I have watched and think it is fantastic. I watched the complete first season and one episode after the other kept getting better and better. Tony Soprano is a very funny and exciting character. All the characters in this series are very well written and well acted. Even Tony's wife is great. If you like Mob movies this ranks right up there. The talks that Tony has with his Psychiatrist are really funny. They have too many great conversations for me to even list here. If you haven't seen the Sopranos go and rent or buy this complete first season you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Beyond unbeliveable!
Review: Oh my god! I never, i mean, never thought that i will be addicted to this so much. Sopranos are now "not just in my life, they are my life". Every day, whenever i have free time i watch The Sopranos, i probably know every line and every word in this movie. The acting, scripts, storytelling and direction are all impeccable. If you ever thought "Goodfellas", "Godfather" was the greatest mob movies ever made, wait until you watch this. The box set of VHS is great as well. People do not let this thing miss from your life.

Summary: not ...American Beauty
Review: I had never seen the series and rented the first DVD on a whim. Of course I was hooked and finished the first season in a few days. What entertainment! The only comparison to American Beauty is that they are both suburban fathers in crisis. American Beauty was a much meaner film. Who in that movie did you really care about? I wanted to whack most of them. I believe that movie undermined and mocked American values. Surprisingly, Tony Soprano, the wiseguy, reinforces them. Thankyou David Chase!!!

Summary: The show is great...the videos aren't
Review: I am a big fan of The Sopranos. Tony Soprano is such a beautiful character and I fall more in love with him (James) and the cast every week. I ran out the other day and splurged on the first season collector's set. I took it home, like a boy at Christmas, and unwrapped it. When I popped in the first tape though, there was this ringing...sort of like a modem or telephone. It made the first tape unwatchable. I returned it from where I purchased it, and exchanged it for another set. I took it home and watched all the episodes, somewhat pleased with what I saw. I popped in the 5th and final tape and it was broken. The tape kept cutting in and out and the sound was horrible. I have to take back my set today (FOR THE SECOND TIME). Take my advice, save yourself some trouble and rent it at Blockbuster.

Summary: Best thing on T.V
Review: In the days of shoddy chatshows and boring soaps the Sopranos is a gem. I'm no gangster buff (with the exceptions of Goodfellas and Godfather 1& 2) but I know class when I see it, and this is certainly that. The acting is great with interesting and intricate stories and fine musical scores. Tony is a character thats hard to describe, he tries to combine a fragile family life with the grusome violence of his "job". With no disrespect to the other actors, Gandolfini is what makes the show so outstanding. This is truly the creme de la creme of what's on T.V.

Summary: Worth your time & your money -- FABULOUS!
Review: My husband and I didn't know what we were missing not watching the Sopranos on HBO. Well, he purchased this multi-DVD set and let's just say we are now complete converts -- WHAT A GREAT SHOW!!! Not only have we now seen all of the first season on DVDs, we eagerly await the release of the second season -- we'll definitely buy it, that's how great the show is. Buy it, you most definitely won't regret it!

Summary: This is the best thing on television
Review: I confess to watching all thirteen episodes in less than 3 days. Everything about the show is amazing. I was hooked on the story line 10 minutes into the first episode and now i can say that I am completely obsessed. The worst part is that it makes watching the show on HBO not as good becasuse you have to wait 7 days between episodes as opposed to 7 seconds. I hope this show goes on forever and i look forward to purchasing the second season as soon as it comes out.

Summary: Great buy
Review: I borrowed the set from my a co-worker before I purchased it myself, and absolutely loved it. Great show, would love to see a "The Sopranos" movie. What I really liked about it, besides the russian mistress, was that while it offered all the "mob" stuff you would expect, it also offered an element of comedy. I highly recommend this set to anyone, mafia genre fan or not.

Summary: If I could give ten stars....
Review: I would for the Sopranos, possibly one of the finest television shows on today, and now given to us as a gift on DVD. "The Sopranos" is a multi-layered show that is a no-holds barred modern drama about the life of one Anthony Soprano, and all the forces in his life that are starting to pull his mind apart. From his family issues to the "family", Anthony, played brillantly believable by James Gandolfini, is starting to buckle under the strain of the weight of the world. There with the thread to sew his mind together is his psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Melfi, who confronts Anthony as no one else dare. The acting is superb, the stories demand your full attention, and the philosophical nuiances play like a violin to the lonely trumpet sounds of Anthony trying to figure out life. And it's in his struggles that we join him, and pray he finds his way out as we should. Truly, masterpiece theater.
