Shows that remained consistent throughout its entire run.

The Chidi wave speech from the finale. I just watched Good Place with someone very special to me. They left me very shortly after we finished the show and so now I equate Chidis speech about imagining a wave returning to the water, not just about death. But it can be about a phase in our life, a relationship. Something I got to enjoy for a while, which has now returned to the water. And now I'm crying again. 

I think some people consider season 6 the bad season, but IMHO those people are crazy. I loved The Crash

I recently rewatched Mad Men. Literally no dip in quality. If anything it just kept getting better. That show didn't take a single play off.

I thought the first season was slow as well, but really that comes down to not knowing the characters yet.

Yea, season 5 is a slog. The only negative I have against the show.

I gave up on season 5 glad to know it wasn't just me.

S4 where they tried to make Paige a central character was a lull

Why stick with a show you clearly aren't loving?

What? It's literally the opposite? After season 1 they get season long bad guys and fewer episodes dedicated to "bad guy of the week".

Thats so interesting, I feel the opposite. Season 1 for me is all 'baddie of the week' until the last 3 or 4 episodes then it becomes a pretty serialized show from the season 1 finale onward.

Why would you say that? It's pretty much the opposite

Better Call Saul gets better every season and I would argue is overall better than Breaking Bad.

I’m on season 2 for the first time ever! Lucky me:)

Those who hate The Fly are of weak spirit and their bloodline will forget them

Even if it is arguably the worst episode of the show. Its one episode out of 60ish. No show on earth could hit 100% outside of limited series.

Trolls might.

Breaking Bad was one of the greatest shows of all-time. It just wasn't that. Its like The Wire having an episode that is solely about one of the cops going up to Delaware and having a zany weekend centered around a family member's wedding.

The 5th season is definitely the weakest, but it does a fantastic job of wrapping up the overall story. It really was just the serial killer storyline that brought the season down. Everything else was still great.

Season 5 definitely has my least favorite theme song

Its the weakest season by a fair margin, but it wasn't trying to be something the show isn't.

Lotta bit

There wasn't enough lol

Wu Sweargin!

I feel this too. I used to rewatch the three seasons every so often, but I can't bring myself to watch that final cliffhanger again.

>!Yeah I wish Livia never appeared in Season 3 and she just died off screen. Would have been more impactful with the themes of verisimilitude. Alot of the time, when loved ones die, we don't get that final dramatic conversation with them. Would have fit better.!< >!That is my only real legit gripe with the show and it is like 3 minutes of the whole 86 hour odyssey.!<

Dubbing basically. Sometimes things don't sound right from the audio picked up during shooting so they will have the actors sit in the booth and dub over their lines to make them more clear or add lines of dialogue for a character off screen so the scene is improved or clarified in some way. What gives away that the Sopranos occasionally has bad ADR is sometimes characters will talk but it won't match their lip movements at all and/or sound very unnatural. My number 1 example is in Season 5 when Tony yells at Carmella "I thought we were getting along better lately". It is very clearly dubbed and very poorly at that. Very minor minor nitpick of the show as it doesn't drag the quality in the slightest.

Automated dialogue replacement - adding or re-recording dialogue in post-production. I’ve noticed frequent use of ADR in modern shows, especially when a character has dialogue but they are facing away from the camera. You can tell that what they’re saying doesn’t match the way their face is moving (or not moving).

I am someone who loves the whole show from top to bottom but I don't get angry at other opinions that differ. I love discussing the show on Listnook but my opinions are basically ones I formed myself. >Tony's near death hallucination taking up half a season Its 2 episodes. Hardly half the season. It also has some of the greatest scenes in the whole show outside of the dream too. Chrissy comforting a sobbing Carmella is one of the most emotionally striking scenes in the show. I love the supernatural and spiritual aspect of the show so I eat it right up. >vito being gay I mean it is actually very naturally built up. You aren't a Sopranos villain until there is a theory they are secretly gay (Richie & Phil especially). It is also a really interesting way to see the true world views of our characters in how they react. Live Free or Die is just as funny of an episode as Pine Barrens. I think its also paid off well. I know Listnook also likes to complain about this storyline but I find it philosophical and entertaining. >AJ being depressed I mean yeah; where else was his story gonna go though? Either being belittled like crazy by his father or babied by his mother with neither of them putting in the effort to make sure he is raised right. It was only a matter of time before AJ tried drowning in the pool. I find this storyline to be very down to earth and real. AJ hate is super forced imo. >That's always a lame attempt for a ratings boost when a show has to fall back on bringing in a bunch of outside celebrities for one-off roles. I mean I could hear that argument for Feech but not Tony B or especially Phil Leotardo. Phil is one of the greatest TV villains ever. I laugh my ass off at literally everything he says. Makes me wanna go get my shinebox. Tony B is a vital part of the season and Steve Buscemi directed Pine Barrens so it was only a matter of time before he was on the show. A tactic is only lame if it is done poorly but I don't think the Sopranos does.

Season 4 was pretty inconsistent and the first half of Season 5 was close to being actively bad. Back half of Season 5 was all-time great though, and while not everything worked in the last season, it was never not interesting.

Your right, I got mixed up.

Enjoy the journey

Not OP but I enjoyed it for what it was. It was a good reunion show. I dont think id want a whole new series spun out of it, but if they wanted to do something like this again I would watch. Unlike say the new scrubs show that I want and immediate 22+ episode order for season 2.

Watched it one night, which was not the plan. Laughed constantly.

It's entertaining and consistent, exactly.

Why not?🤷🏻‍♂️

Toby and Josh coming to blows is the definition of inconsistent.

I almost included it but I thought the finale was pretty bad
