For many experts and viewers, this is the best series of all time. But have you watched it? It is available for streaming.
Faced with the mountain of new programs that come out every week, it is increasingly difficult to establish a ranking of the best series, those that you have to have seen at least once in your life. However, some of them appear fairly unanimously in the rankings of media specializing in television news. One of them, which can be caught up on in streaming, is also regularly at the top of this kind of top and remains considered the best series of all time.
If she regularly battles for first place with breaking Bad (more regularly acclaimed by Internet users and viewers), The Sopranos remains a reference in terms of television series and dominates the rankings established by the American press, notably those of the magazines Empire, Rolling Stone or Screenrant. For the latter, the mafioso series remains “without a doubt the best series in history”, having won 21 Emmy Awards and 5 Golden Globes, no less.
Aired on HBO from 1999 to 2007, The Sopranos tells the complex life of mobster Tony Soprano, who struggles to reconcile the criminal organization he leads with the interests of his family. Composed of six seasons and 86 episodes, the series, led by the late James Gandolfini, Edie Falco and Michael Imperioli, deals with several social, political, philosophical and psychological themes, and has been repeatedly praised for its quality of writing.
No surprise then, The Sopranos remains an immense classic of American serial culture and has even given rise to a prequel film, The Many Saints of Newarkreleased in 2021. If you want to delve into the troubled daily life of this New Jersey gangster family, you should know that the episodes are currently available on the subscription streaming platform Max, which offers most of HBO’s content.
