Perfect

Fast shipping and in great condition.

Great

Many people are complaining about the purchase price of this collection of 12 episodes (with 8 episodes on the way). People are whinning because every season has been 13 episodes in length. Also, keep in mind that the series is not yet finished; 8 more episodes will debut in 2007. Season 6 will be 20 episodes total (in case you can't count... 12 + 8 = 20).Consider the total running time of this collection: 12 episodes at 720 minutes. This is signifficant...Here's the breakdown:Season 1: 680 minutes in 13 episodesSeason 2: 780 minutes in 13 episodesSeason 3: 780 minutes in 13 episodesSeason 4: 800 minutes in 13 episodesSeason 5: 780 Minutes in 13 episodesSeason 6, Part 1: 720 minutes in 12 episodesSeason 6, Part 2: --- Minutes in 8 episodesStop complaining about this pricetag on this set! The price is well worth the cost when you consider the running time! Season 6, Part 1 was just as good as Seasons 2,3,4, and 5.The show had me laughing aloud even though I was the only person watching at my home. The show imroves with age; The Sopranos are here to stay (even IF the series is drawing to a close).ONE COMPLAINT (bases on my opinion): Not enough Uncle Junior! Corado Soprano is one of my favorite characters and we didn't see him enough! Hopefully, Uncle Junior will play a bigger role in the upcoming year...

The Sopranos rule the roost when it comes to incidental whackings. Another good one.

This is not a TV show. This is true art. If you have seen the first 5 seasons of The Sopranos, you must finish the journey. "Who am I? Where am I going?" A show that not only dares to ask and answer these big questions, it presents a narrative on par with the great novels of the 19th century. Much more than just hoodlums cracking skulls and eating pasta--this story probes the intricacies of realistic family dynamics, examines and exposes ethnic stereotypes, delves into psychiatry & man's ability (or inability) to truly change, and even ventures into Purgatory. All the while, there are enough omens and literary references to keep your mind working on several levels during each episode. Like a great book you must re-read, these episodes demand re-watching to soak in all the details that make the story complete. So do not rent these discs--buy this set if you have already viewed the first 5 seasons. The DVDs I bought were in great condition, as have been all the seasons I have purchased through Amazon. And at this price, why would anyone go pay double at a store?

This review contains some spoilers about plots and storylines but not about resolutions to those plots. This was another good season of the Sopranos. However, one of the actors called it a "Brokeback Season." Seemingly, after the box office release of "Brokeback Mountain," the producer David Chase want to touch upon a subject heretofore pretty neglected in the series. The character Vito Spatafore had already been shown in the previous season to be homosexual. Now he is accidently "outed" and goes on the lam. The only "sensitivity" shown toward Vito is, ironically, via Tony Soprano. The question is whether the series was trying to turn The Sopranos into a PC treatment of the subject or was remaining true to its overall trajectory, which was to mostly skirt political correctness as much as possible in favor of portraying how things really are in the world. Tony does have some legitimate "reasons" why he's not as upset about the revelation about Vito's sexuality as the others. For one, Vito was a top earner. Two, Tony has been on a live-let-live kick since leaving the hospital. And there is the added possibility of perhaps him having had some experience during his brief stint behind bars. Overall, though, the series remains more true to itself than serving as a handmaiden to political correctness. Vito may be homosexual, but he is otherwise no better and no worse than the other mobsters. In fact, in this season and in the previous one, he both threatens and comes on to the hetero boyfriend of Tony's daughter Meadow. In this season, he creepily gropes his arm. But the Vito storyline isn't the only one in this season. This is also the season Tony winds up in the hospital, and there is a great storyline about the dreams (or perhaps weird spiritual experiences) he has while in an induced coma. I thought this story arc powerful and well done. SO buy this season if you want to watch all of the Sopranos. Me, I could have done without the Vito subplot, but it's in there.
