    Editorial Reviews: A flat-out treasure trove of television, The Sopranos Complete HBO Seasons 1-6 box set brings together every episode of a genuinely extraordinary series. Those that call it quite possibly the best show America has produced in the last decade aren’t far wide of the mark (although fans of The Wire could have an argument there).

    To think The Sopranos all started from a simple sell: that a New Jersey mob boss falls into depression, and seeks out counselling to help him cope. And while early episodes followed Tony Soprano’s balancing act as he sought to keep this from his mobster friends, The Sopranos took this foundation and built upon it a collection of layered, intriguing characters from both Tony’s ‘work’ and ‘home’ families.

    That’s only part of the reason for The Sopranos’ extraordinary success, though. Because the writers then seeded many delightfully intricate plotlines, that seemed to seamlessly weave between one another. The end result was that every character was important, and--crucially--there was a real sense of unease, as fans began to realise that The Sopranos could have a quiet run of episodes, and then suddenly take out a character you’ve spent hours engaged with.

    It’s a fascinating cocktail. Ruthless yet emotional, violent yet intimate, brash yet insecure, the characters of The Sopranos are as three dimensional as television drama gets. It’s a tragedy it’s finished, but the six series in this box offer a stunning legacy, and a masterclass to anyone else in the planet looking to make a character-driven drama. --Simon Brew

    Summary: Missing episodes
    Comment: Couple of issues with this product:

    Season 2 is missing episode 3 and 4.

    Not every season has the same subtitles set. So if you are not a native English speaker, or just like to have subtitles in your lang. purchase separate episodes with YOUR lang subtitle included.

    Summary: If you don't know...you need to know!
    Comment: Although the show itself deserves a 5-star rating, I had to give this sale 4 stars because of the price. I have been a fan pf the Sopranos from the very start and can watch all seasons over and over again. However, after buying this on amazon for almost £120 I then saw a deluxe version box set (with extra footage and special features) for almost half the price! Nevertheless the show is brilliant, the DVDs are fantastic quality so it was well worth the money!

    Summary: The Sopranos
    Comment: I brough the Sopranos thecomplete collection as soon as I saw that it was for sale at a relativly cheap price (£90) I rented the first season from Amazon after readding the variety of positive reviews I had read about it. And I can see why, the acting especially by James Gandolfini is brilliant, Gandolfini manages to both be terrifying and touching to the point were you forget that he is a murderering gangster and start to cheer him on. The array of guest stars is also brilliant especially when Steve Buscemi appears as Tony's cousin. The writing is gripping and at points incredibly funny.

    Finally when I got to the last episodes I could not take my eyes off the screen not knowing how the show was going to end; and though the ending of the final episode at first left me frustrated I then grew to appriciate its subtle brilliance.

    Summary: The Greatest drama ever
    Comment: Id never seen the show until a friend recommended watching it while i recover from the flu.I took the plunge and a week and a half later i had seen something that will stay with me forever.
    The characters come to life in fantastic three dimensional portrayals from some seriously fine acting as does the life of Italian Americans from New Jersey its about family and all that entails.It touches on the very fabric of society on our hopes and dreams and on the post 911 world we now live in.
    Yes its got violence but never let that put you off because that is really not what this show is about.Its got humor although often dark it will make you laugh at the most horrible of situations.
    Truly the only thing I would advise is to take your time because at the end of the last episode you will be sitting in silence desperately wanting more.
    Simply put Wow
