Critic Reviews
The Sopranos Review: The Show That Invented Prestige Television
★★★★★
HBO's The Sopranos turned the American gangster myth inside out, filtering it through panic attacks and a psychiatrist's couch — the novelistic drama that made television an artform and gave James Gandolfini the role of a century.
The foundational text of the modern television era — funny, brutal, and psychologically bottomless. As essential now as it was revolutionary then.
