Yes, it's worth it. In terms of psychological drama it's at the top. Sopranos is great because of how the develop the characters. Unlike other shows though, the sopranos shows us the psychological development of the characters through their dreams, fears, projections, interactions and culture. It's a very deep show. Also as someone else said it's second to none in the dialogue department. I could go on and on about the show and the hidden subtleties and meanings involved. One thing I love is the intrusion of the paranormal in the show that projects an ominous mood: Chris seeing the Raven before and after he gets made, Paulie seeing mother Mary, Paulie waking up at 3am every night thinking Mikey Palmice is tormenting him from hell, Chris's near death experience in hell, Tony's nightmares about his mother (really preparing him for death), The cat starting at Chrissy picture, etc.
This may be the dopest scene in the whole show, as in captures the psychological effect a painting has on the main character. Note the eggs on the ground at the end (recurring symbolism involving death). Right after this scene he kills his cousin who he was protecting from a rival family. These pictures are projected images from his subconscious on who he thinks he is or should be. I read an analysis of this scene where a guy said Tony throwing away the painting is symbolic of his giving up on his notions of being a good man. Anyways, yes the show is worth the accolades

After the series ended I actually preferred it over all those Mafia movies you mentioned (even Goodfellas, Godfather and Casino)
You can't get attached to characters in 2 hours the same way u can over the course of a series
TV is just a better overall platform to tell a story imo

It really is.
Every time I watch it I think it's just as great as the first time I watched them.

It’s maybe $60-70 on Amazon. Get on that
Or the episode where tony meets his fathers goomah and by the end of the episode his dad wasn't really shyt but tony decides to be in denial because his accepting that his father wasn't shyt is accepting that he himself ain't shyt either and also all his life blaming his and the family misery on his mother when his fathet is equally to blame.

I'm not even going to read this thread because there is NO show that will EVER top Sopranos as a work of art (except maybe the best of Twin Peaks).

Oh yeah? Aight, thanks
Wow, really?
Great show. Just not on the level of Breaking Bad or the Wire, so it’s overrarted when people try to mention it as being better than those shows
It's slightly better than the Wire to me.
Both shows are WAY better than BB, a show I fukking love
For me there's The Sopranos and The Wire, then there's everything else.

I think very deeply
The Wire is the greatest written show and way better than The Sopranos.
