Very few series have left such a strong mark on the television industry as this one, which inaugurated the so-called "golden period" of series, due to the seriousness of its approach, the complexity of its characters, its evolution and its narrative and acting level. Multi-awarded and acclaimed, the series revolves around Tony Soprano, a mafia boss operating in New Jersey who, due to the challenges of his task, begins to see a psychiatrist. The power struggles within his organisation and threats from outside are mixed with his strained relationships with his family and children. James Gandolfini's iconic performance, along with his humour and brilliant scripts, established it as one of the best series in television history.

The literature says that the golden age of the series began with The Sopranos, precisely because of the quality of its scripts, the psychological depth of its characters, complex and full of edges. Tony Soprano is undoubtedly one of the most unforgettable and unique characters in television history.

Jimmy's a GoodFella, but Is He a Good Fella?

There are a lot of maniacs in GoodFellas, but none are as cold-blooded and wise as Jimmy Conway. Often overshadowed by the movie's other iconic psychopaths, namely Joe Pesci's Tommy DeVito and Ray Liotta's Henry Hill, Jimmy's guy-behind-the-guy demeanour makes him my favourite on-screen killer. Although he is undoubtedly a "bad guy," I wonder if there isn't something admirable about this consummate criminal. Played by Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese's 1990 classic, he first appears as a local

Phase 1: With three TV series, HBO rose to prominence It took about 25 years for HBO to find its niche. After a period of pioneering, trial and error, it gradually developed a reputation for "promising more creative freedom" and made its mark on the American cultural industry in both breadth and depth. HBO's first rise was in 1998, as in the story of David and Goliath when it played the role of David and faced off against the three major wireless networks. With three series below, HBO stood firm

📺 📹 Old and New Story of HBO's David and Goliath

Original TV gold.Absolute classic. Story is highly unexpected and creative. Mob boss goes through mental health issues and seeks help. And this is much, much earlier than mental health really becomes a mainstream issue. So, highly original idea, brilliantly written and with memorable characters. Deservedly considered as pioneer in the new era of TV.

Not apt for 2021.The writing is excellent and the storytelling is superb, but I don't think it would survive today's cancel culture.

A drama filled with danger.The Sopranos was one of the first TV shows to have the same production as a movie regarding script, cast and outcome. It certainly represents a before and an after for the gangster movie industry and the television in general.
