I recently started watching The Sopranos for the first time last year, and damn is it good. Some episodes are slow sure, but a lot of them are absolutely packed with story. So much so, I needed to take a couple minutes to process what I had just watched.

Also, there's a very intense, pretty powerful scene like right in the middle of season 3 that kinda changes the entire dynamic of the show.

To me, The Sopranos has some of the most believable characters of any show I've ever seen. They're all just so fucking stupid. But not in a bad writing kind of way. They're as stupid as the average person and maybe a little more so. The show is full of miscommunication and unreliable gossip going around dozens of characters. It's not witty dialog, it just feels real.
