David Chase Revives ‘The Sopranos’ With New Line Prequel Movie ‘The Many Saints Of Newark’

About goddamn time. It's been talked about for a decade now. I'd prefer a show, but whatever.

 

[ZaCHw117]

I should watch the Sopranos. Is it on netflix/hulu/prime/hbo?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yes, you should. HBO will ALWAYS have it on demand.

Usually when I finish watching the Sopranos, I start watching the Sopranos. It ruined TV for me.

 

[ZaCHw117]

it’s been on my list for a long time, it’s time.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Bare in mind the pilot was filmed two years almost before the subsequent episodes. The first episode is very alien to the rest.

It plays more like a comedy than a drama.

 

[franpincho]

Get HBO now, I think they offer a month for free. Is also available on Prime Video for free if you have Prime.

It is a fantastic show, but I made the mistake of watching "The Wire" first. That's the show that destroyed TV for me, nothing came close and I don't think nothing ever will.

I didn't know that. Wow. It really has been a long time since I watched the show.

 

[ZaCHw117]

I’ve got HBO some is set.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I don't think any TV show or film captured how ****ing weird dreams can be like the show did.



A sidenote. Lorraine Bracco makes the absolute worst sex noises.

Anyone else watch this stinker yet?

Peeeee-yeeeewww-eeeee!!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Just did. Stinker indeed. Waste.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Just did. Stinker indeed. Waste.

Oh no. I wanted to see it. It's not good at all? How about the young versions of the classic characters?

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Oh no. I wanted to see it. It's not good at all? How about the young versions of the classic characters?

I saw it last night and absolutely loved it.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Watched it last night and thought it was very good. Billy Magnussen was amazing as Paulie, while Vera Farmiga and Jon Bernthal were fantastic as Tony's folks.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

I haven't seen it yet but probably soon. I watched a review and they complained that the movie is heavily geared towards people strongly invested in the long retired show, which won't be a problem for me.

 

[Victοr]

I hated it.

 

[Otomofan]

I can't stop thinking about how much I LOATHED this movie. It's burrowed under my skin like a tick. I hated it so, so much.

 

[R_R_X]

My estimation of David Chase as a writer just ******* plummeted.

I didn't hate it with a burning passion but boy was I disappointed, this needed to be a miniseries with more focus on Dickie and Tony's relationship and less Harold.

Michael did a fine job as Tony but the rest of the original crew felt off for the most part and their ages completely threw me off, Silvio was especially bad.

A lot of the time I couldn't keep up with what was happening because the pace is all over the place as well, overall it just isn't a good prequel, it doesn't add much to the show and what it does tarnishes some things in my opinion.

If you're a diehard Soprano fan I honestly can't say I would recommend it, you get a lot of fan service sure but nothing of substance, this didn't need to be made.
