Yes. Please do. I know what you’re saying anon, and the exact same thing happened to me the first time I tried to watch it. My friend convinced me to pick it back up and I’m so glad I did. Get into the groove for how the show operates and experience a kino like no other.
At first, I dropped it after the first four episodes, but I got drunk at a friend's house and we started watching it. I continued to watch it afterwards.
nah it sucks... i'll give you a scene that's a perfect encapsulation of mad men's epic stupidity
that's the culmination of a story-line... that they devoted a lot of fricking time to...
and what is it? just an obvious fricking joke you can see coming from a million miles away. the nihilistic greedy pragmatist boss finds out that his pet chud isn't who he said he was...
AND GUESS WHAT AUDIENCE?!?!?! HE DOESN'T CARE?!?!?!?! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!?!?!?!
yup. i sure can. saw it coming. saw it coming from very very far away. question is why the character doing the reveal didn't see it coming. or why don didn't see it coming
There is quite nothing like it in it's comedy, commentary, and dramatization of not only America at large but of a deeply flawed at ends with his own surroundings. It's imperfections make it that much better imo.
meh it's BrBa's plot driven story vs sopranos character driven story. honestly i can't really say walter's character is that interesting considering you could really just describe him as a wimp getting an ego whereas with tony it's a constant struggle between balancing his beliefs and his feeling towards certain aspects of his life and aspects of his mind he doesn't know (or doesn't admit) exists.
Tony is not that deep. He’s just a dishonest hypocritical piece of shit psycho on a high horse. He’s the exact same as all of his colleagues who he thinks his so much better than. That’s why Ralphie is so much more likeable than Tony. Ralphie doesn’t hide what a sicko he is, he’s accepted himself. Meanwhile Tony keeps lying to himself and everyone else just so he can cope with what a piece of shit he is. In that sense I guess he is a bit better than Ralphie because he needs to cope, but that also makes him weaker.
Tony and Ralphie both have their own set of different morals, but they are arguably on the same level of shittiness. For instance Tony feels as though something that's innocent, like or horse or a WHOARE in Ralphie's case, shouldn't be harmed, but he is fricking with his childrens' lives by having them grow up around 10 different uncles so on and so for whether he knows it or not. that's what i meant when i was speaking of the type of cognitive dissonsance he has for that thing of his.
If Tony is really lying to himself, then why does he continue to go to his therapy sessions? He’s clearly not a psychopath devoid of empathy as Dr. Melfi presumed, and he’s clearly made an effort to stay faithful to Carmela by breaking contact with his goomahs among other things, so what makes you think he’s just lying to himself?
A part of me wants to agree with you, but I think S5 hits home the depravity and corruption of the criminal world and serves to account for all of Walt's misdeeds. Gus was a reasonable man, but Walt couldn't grasp the precariousness of the fortunate position he was in.
Mad Men
i watched the first season, but i can't really describe why i didn't like it
should i give it another go?
yes
watch one episode a week if necessary
s3 is among the best tv oat

Stockholm syndrome, many such cases.
yeah i guess i'll do what the other anon said and watch like once a week or something if it gets boring

and curb your enthusiasm, when you've seen all of these, you'll never enjoy tv again
>you'll never enjoy tv again
maybe American TV kek
Are you referring to anime..? What good tv is there outside america?
i agree
only good foreign mediums are film
homosexual
The first season is the only good one, it gets stale and repetitive after that.
Twin Peaks is great for different reasons. Has a lot of surrealism as well.
Try Grey's Anatomy
Lol no, women show.
Sopranos is for troonys
The wire
seen, but it's not as good

it really does speak for itself when i've seen the same scene 10 times but it still makes me audibly laugh
it helps that most of the writers used to write for shitty sitcoms
a lot of the show out of context is funnier than anything else
Sopranos basically admitting the afterlife is real was peak Twin Peaks influence
Nothing comes close I'm afraid
The young pope was great.
Peep Show, Mr. Bean and The Thick of It
and The InBetweeners
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Dammit I was about to say this
And Chernobyl
And True Detective S1
chernobyl was fantastic, but comparing chernobyl to the sopranos is more or less comparing a movie to the sopranos because of the length
If BrBa had ended after S4 it would equal the Sopranos in my mind. S5 knocks it down a notch

True detective season 2 was better,
Caspers knew this
