“On Jan. 10, 1999, a mobster walked into a psychiatrist’s office. What happened next — over the course of eight years — was a television revolution. By the time the writer and producer David Chase brought “The Sopranos” to a close on June 10, 2007, he had helped establish HBO as a cultural force and make literary symbolism, cinematic style, long-form storytelling and complicated antiheroes the norm for high-end TV dramas.
With the 20th anniversary of “The Sopranos” premiere happening this week, there’s a lot of chatter right now about the show’s legacy. If you’re already a fan, it might prompt you to want to do a rewatch. But who has time for 86 hourlong episodes? If you’re interested in a more efficient way to re-immerse yourself, what follows are some suggestions, for both a short dip and a deeper dive.
This guide is designed for people who’ve already watched the entire “Sopranos” series at least once, broken down by different viewing strategies. Spoilers are kept to a minimum, though, so in theory, newcomers could try one of these paths as well.
So grab a platter of “gabagool” and “moozadell,” keep an eye out for wily Russians and let’s head back to Jersey. (Stream the entire series on HBO or free on Amazon with a Prime subscription.)....”
Steven Van Zandt, Steve Schirripa, the late James Gandolfini, Michael Imperioli, and Tony Sirico
