I mean it was accurate.
But why was Treach in only to get shot in the ass

Given their racism I was kinda confused about that half-Black dude who was in the Mafia who Tony beat up after he was shot ... that's one of my biggest questions from the whole series

There was literally no character development with any of the black characters from the show.

Richie Aprile

Tony would've killed him eventually if Janice didn't do it herself.

Definitely. He was already moving against Tony and trying to get some backing. Uncle Junior tipped him off and thought when Janice called him to help with Richie's body she was setting him up

Why did Big p*ssy have to be the one who was snitching
"Just not the face Tony"

Weird show. I've seen every episode but I hardly remember anything about it. The show was great too but still I can't remember anything about it. Was one of the first shows I actually binged over like streaming. Before then I was straight episode to episode on actual T.V

Seriously though, streaming is changing everything. I can see someone watching The Shield or Mad Men or finding Bloodline on Netflix 5 years after it was released and thinking.....wow..I really want to talk about this. You almost have to just go read old message board posts. Someone is watching, say, Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time right now and wanting to have a huge conversation about it. Back in the day people had to watch reruns, then you had to buy or rent the tapes or dvds.

Also I've noticed that binge watching a show is completely different than waiting week to week in the perception of it. Sometimes on netflix you are watching a show and go.....eh...didn't like that turn, don't know if I like where it is going.....but you can literally see where it is going immediately and sometimes get surprised. But if it were on tv week to week, you might bail and go out that night, then lose interest.

Especially all these shows people complain are "slow".

this is very true, and I don't think its a good thing.

I loved Phil but I honestly never understood why the show pushed Johnny Sack aside in favor of Phil as the final villain.

A Tony/Johnny feud would have been so much better given their history and Johnny Sack being on the show since S1. And watching the show I always had the impression that that's where it was heading. A great friendship steadily deteriorating due to the cutthroat and treacherous world they were in.

- Johnny meddling in Soprano family business during the Ralphie/Gigi Cestone captaincy dispute
- Johnny having Ralphie's back during the dead whooah dispute
- Tony refusing to hand Ralph over to Johnny during the Ginny weight joke dispute
- Johnny subverting Soprano family business by playing Paulie for a sucker and making him leak info during S4
- Tony backing out of his pledge to kill Carmine at the end of S4
- Tony playing both sides of the fence and not overtly supporting Johnny during his feud with Little Carmine in S5
- Tony's dispute with Phil and later protecting Tony B

Their peace at the end of S5 already seemed very tenuous. I think the stage was set for something to happen that would break the camel's back and set them on the warpath.

And Tony running away without giving John a heads up always seemed pretty shady to me.

Given their racism I was kinda confused about that half-Black dude who was in the Mafia who Tony beat up after he was shot ... that's one of my biggest questions from the whole series

He wasn't half-black, he was your typical "swarthy"/"olive oil complexion" southern italian guy.

He called him a mutt in the show breh... maybe he was half-Hispanic, but he wasn't just Italian (in the show) (also in real-life I think the actor is mixed).

greatest show ever. not sure if anything comes close really.

one thing i don't see talked about much... ever notice that the later seasons are much darker looking than the earlier seasons? you could see the images and the cinematography become much more "shadowy" as the show progresses. that feeling of decay and hopelessness just gets greater and greater the more deep we get.
