To be honest, Sopranos wasn't anything complex.

For the time it told a relatively interesting story

[–] vankappa@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (4 children)

it was really well written though, and the characters were deep and complex and resembled actual people. At least in the first seasons.. Most series (in the past and nowadays) are written like garbage to appeal to the most common denominator as quick and cheap as possible

I absolutely hated the ending.

I didn't like the ending upon first watch, but found myself thinking about it afterwards and contemplating what may have happened after the screen went black. Had they wrapped it up cleanly it would have been more satisfying at the time but I would not have given it much thought after.
