Contral The series decided to watch because before Game of Thrones it was first in the ratings. In fact, it did not meet my expectations, and this is what I did not like:
- Old, fat, heavy mafia men. In life it is possible, but it is very implausible and comical. Youth and middle age are very small;
- The gang raises very little money, Soprano himself does not live that luxuriously.
- There's no camera work in the series. Everything we see is very primitive and monotonous. The only attempts are the dreams and glitches of the heroes. I understand that the series ended in 2007, but this does not change the fact that there is simply nothing to watch in 2019.
- Persistent thrust with cancer and disease in everyone, psychological buckles. These are deeply obstinate people, how they created a group at all.
- The series does not begin or end. This suggests that the writers did not succumb. In general, it is impossible to create even a film from the series, so it is very unperfect: just in each season some people are cut off.
- In the series, there is no one to sympathize and empathize. All the characters of the series are scum, empathy does not arise.
Pros:
- Good actors and their acting, the cast had problems with the law.
- Quite high plausibility with nations and events (even the selection of Russian actors, their behavior, speech, etc.);
- Meat realism.
In general, I regret that I spent so much time on the series, since it has no plot, no morality, there is no one to empathize with. It's sluggish about nothing. Before the series of the new wave, he may have rolled, but now his place is on the margins, even for lovers of crime.
