I thought Ralph was pretty funny, even though he was a prick. AJ really turned into a douche. He was looking like a backstreet boy with his haircut and facial hair. The episode where Tony was in the coma and drifting in and out was really good. I really like how the did all the dreams in the series. The dream scenes were some of my favorites because they carried that vibe well of what a dream is actually like and how weird it is. I always secretly hoped AJ would end up joining the mob with his dad but it never really got to that point. They should do a spin off where AJ becomes the new boss (rip Gandolphini).
I liked the show overall. When people were comparing what is the best show, like to Breaking Bad and all that, that is about impossible to do. They are totally different shows (even though I think Breaking Bad was still way better). The Sopranos has a different novelty. It mostly feeds off the shock factor with like tons of dirty language, nudity, people getting murdered etc. That rape scene was very horrific and shocking. I like the fact that they gave life to so many characters. You almost knew the life story of every character on the show. There was like 20 sub plots.
There was some stuff I found to be really weird in the show. Like I literally had the exact thought like WAY before it was even close to obvious, "it would be really weird if Furio and Carmela hooked up". They might have had one interaction. Then like 5 episodes later, they started flirting or whatever. I thought that was weird. Also, the whole thing with Vito being gay I thought was really weird and unnecessary. I thought that was stupid, like just a thing to be filler and waste story. I couldn't wait for that to get over with. There were some things that didn't always fit and just seemed like filler to me. No show will be as flawless as Breaking Bad was. It was basically always on point, perfect ending. Everything meant something. In The Sopranos, people would die off and get killed all the time for no reason. There was usually a funeral every other episode. Entertaining yes, but its different.
