It was a seminal and groundbreaking show that propelled HBO and it’s style of television into the mainstream. Shows like breaking bad wouldn’t exist without it.
Yes you are correct it was groundbreaking, and it was great in it's time...pushed some boundaries
BB went to the next level with it
Both were a bit ridiculous but very well acted...BB had cinematography and was much more creative...Sopranos was a must watch if you were hooked, same as BB
I think binge watching them BB comes out ahead if you are fresh to both
I can't blame somebody new to the show finding Sopranos underwhelming, it has a lot of competition nowadays
Series have gotten to elite movie quality so it doesn't stick out anymore
