    Did not have a bad bone in his body. Even before he died it was well known he was a good *.

    Haven't seen the sesame Street thing, will give that a bash!, but by all accounts he was a good guy.

    Sure there's a pic of him behind the bar at McChuils.

    I'll definitely watch it again, but it will never get anywhere near Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. Get it round ye.

    I havent seen BCS......Is it any good? I loved Breaking Bad....I even thought at most times it was better than Sopranos in certain episodes.

    BCS is phenomenal mate. Took me a while to get into it on irst viewing but watching it all through now it's up there with BB. Just incredible writing and execution.

    Good to hear that...I recently watched BB again for the 2nd time,binged watched it and i thought it was even better that the first time of viewing.

    I think i watched a couple of episodes when it first started years ago of BCS but i hated watching each week..so i left it and totally forgot about it.

    Will start this soon :)

    Better Call Saul is fantastic, Breaking Bad is really good. The Wire and Boardwalk Empire are brilliant.

    The Sopranos is the best show ever made. Just my opinion.

    Funny as * that Sylvio is Bruce Springsteen's main man in the E Street band as well.

    When I found out he died I was genuinely * gutted.

    It was such a strange one, it was the day I had finished my last leaving cert exam (around the time I had become obsessed with The Sopranos initially) so I was on a massive high, and I was sat watching an episode, Tony was on the screen in Melfi’s office and I was browsing through twitter on my phone and saw a tweet about him passing. Didn’t feel real.

    I was gutted with this also......And the possibility of Pacino/DeNiro/Pesci and co would be gutting as well.

    Ray Liotta stung a bit as well when he went

    Going to rewatch this soon. Only watched it through once and loved it.

    On the ending... thankfully I didn't know the ending going into it, but it was a proper weird one. Now I really like it, but at the time it just threw me. So abrupt. Definitely

    Must be so difficult to write satisfying finales, hence so many of them being underwhelming or just utter *. Just off the top of my head - GoT, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy and Sherlock had * final seasons and finales. To the point where the thought of rewatching them is tough.

    Best finales I've watched are easily The Leftovers, Justified and Friday Night Lights.

    Ooft man. That’s blasphemy of the highest order.

    As good as they 2 are, The Sopranos is levels above anything else that’s ever been on the telly imo.

    Aye for me it’s …

    The Sopranos
    GOT ( I can forgive the * writing from season 5 onwards as the rest is just that good, and there is still good bits from then on)
    The Wire
    Breaking Bad
    Better Call Saul (which I’ve never finished)
    And never seen SOA…
