Maybe. A few years ago I saw the entire series for the first time, on Netflix. I was pretty well riveted by it and plowed straight on through, one disc after another. The framing of the drama as a crime boss consulting a therapist was brilliant.
I just finished watching The Many Saints of Newark and was pretty much confused throughout, trying to figure out who did what to whom and trying to figure out who they were in relation to Tony. And that’s after watching the series x2. p.s. Tony’s son in real life played him in the movie. Their eyes are very similar.
@smudges: I watched Many Saints of Newark last night and I didn’t like it. I found it one dimensional. I think Sopranos was so superior, such incredible acting, in comparison. I also kept mixing up Dickie Moltisanti and Tony’s father, because the actors looked so similar.
