Summary: A must have for any guy, girls get the hint
Review: My girlfriend bought me this box set and I just love it. The perfect gift for the supposed guy who has everything. The best part of being on DVD is that you can search (fast forward) past the pyschiatrist scenes that tend to drag on. When will the second season be able to be added to my wish list?

Summary: Awesome TV!
Review: I'm not a really huge fan of TV. Don't seem to have the time to watch it or I miss the shows I do enjoy.

However, when I do see a show I like, I'll keep coming back. Since I don't have HBO, I never did see Sopranos until I bought the DVD set. I knew I would love the show as Chase worked on another TV show I use to love: Northern Exposure. Well was I right! The Sopranos is just great TV. My wife and I both enjoy watching the episodes. The DVD quality is top notch, with great 5.1 audio and 16:9 enhanced video! Looks fantastic on a Sony WEGA.

If you enjoy good mob type movies or really good TV like Northern Exposure or West Wing, don't pass up the chance to get The Sopranos on DVD for the less than a year subscription to HBO!

Thank you David Chase!

Summary: Stunning entertainment exceeded only by "Traffic"
Review: The 13 episodes of the first season in this terrific 4 disc DVD set provide stunning entertainment. "Traffic" is the only recent movie which exceeds this series in "reach out and grab you" entertainment appeal; no other recent movie comes close. I savored these episodes, limiting my viewing to one per night.

Tony Soprano's mother is a character so fully realized and memorable she will forever be a reference point for future movie mothers. The quality of writing in this series is exceptional. The only episode which disappointed even a little was #10 and that served to bring home the uniformly high quality of the other episodes. Extraordinary. Highest possible recommendation. I cannot wait until the second season episodes appear on DVD as well.

Summary: Absolutely Incredible.
Review: Another one of HBO's smash hits this year! The Sopranos is by far one of the best dramas ever made.

This series delves into the lives of a modern era mobster family. However this is not your typical gangster show. It takes you into the personal lives of Tony Soprano, mob boss, and shows you that they are only human.

From gangster hits, to sessions with his psychiatrist, you get to see how the gangster live affects Tony and his family.

This is an absolutely incredible series and in my opinion is one of the best ever made.

Summary: Great content, poor packaging
Review: A warning to those of you with HDTV's: These episodes are packed 4 to a single-sided disc. The compression required to do this seriously degrades the picture quality. The compression artifacts are atrocious in some scenes, detracting greatly from what is, in general, great cinematography.

But, as the title states, the content itself is great gangster cinema in the tradition of The Godfather.

Summary: Addictive Sopranos
Review: Totally Addicitive. The acting is superb. In the first video all of the characters are repulsive. My first impression of Tony was fat and disgusting; by the end of the series he grew to be irresistable, undenieably sexy, and someone you would want to have on your side. I can't wait until the second season comes out on video. I would start watching it now on HBO, but fear that I would not begin in the proper order. The development of the characters is fascinating. Watching the next video, became a nightly ritual; The Sopranos, a glass of wine, and you have entered into a heartbeat of the subconscious.

Summary: Great content, so-so video
Review: Wow! I don't get HBO, and had only seen one or two episodes in hotel rooms. What a show. I had to fight the urge to watch it straight through, and mananged to space the 13 episodes over 3 or 4 weeks.

The widescreen format is great. However, the quality of the video or the transfer to DVD had its problems. Low-light shots often are very grainy, and the woodgrain wall behind Tony in the psychiatrist's office is usually a mess of pixelated squares. It was bad enough that by the end, I found myself hoping for brightly lit outside shots. I understand that it's broadcast in HD, so I'm guessing the problems must be with the transfer to DVD.

Summary: A Classic
Review: This is a totally addictive series and it's great to be able to watch the DVDs. I saw the first show and then missed 6 of them while I was hospitalized. Every Sunday night I'd get pangs for the show. Thankfully I have the DVDs and was able to catch any episode i missed between live broadcast & HBO reruns. I can't wait till the 2nd season comes out on DVD. Even though I saw every show, I'll buy that one too. Keep 'em coming Chase!
