| Summary: | A mobster walked into a psychiatrist's office. No, it wasn't the start of a joke. It was the start of a program that changed television history. By shattering preconceptions about the kinds of stories the medium should tell, The Sopranos launched our current age of prestige television. Television critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz were among the first to write about the series before it became a cultural phenomenon. To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the show's debut, they reunite to produce a collection of recaps, conversations and critical essays covering every episode, as well as new interviews with series creator David Chase. They explore the shows artistry, themes and legacy, examining its portrayal of Italian Americans, its graphic depictions of violence, and its deep connection to other cinematic and television classics. |
