watching the sopranos rn (first time eva) and im 3 episodes into s4 which my dad told me is where it starts to really pick up. hey its a different show, like this is a different programme altogether
#everything is entirely different#it was 3 ep to season long arcs before. occasionally peppered with ep long issues#but typically most scenes contributed to long themes. there was no A B plot structure (A plot is the plot of the episode. B plot is the over#all plot of a season)#and everything remained within the mafia. and fairly self-contained#suddenly we've got heavily self-contained episodes with a huge focus on the A plot with little to no carry-over into the next#like it was a story about the terror of growing up to become a mafia leader. then the SA episode. then i dont remember what the last one was#and there are longer arcs bubbling in the background#crazy. its much more exciting and satisfying#interestingly one of the main writers for the sopranos went on to make madmen which ive already seen#and they also had a major upheaval of the exact same type in season 4. where the stakes were suddenly and dramatically upped#i didnt like it in madmen because i enjoyed its vintage feel#but i got used to it eventually#also im really impressed with how they write tony soprano. i go through wildly hating him to loving him within a single ep#which makes me wonder what the fuck went wrong with don draper. i hated that man from start to end#how do u write mr soprano and then fuck up draper that bad#oh well#if anyone actually read all this do u want to go out for a date#or if uve seen either of these pls tell me ur thoughts
