best show hbo has to date funny yet sad but also possibly very true. born and raised in north jersey around italians and hungarian polish russian it rings very true thank you hbo and please continue for another season.

This show is great, but come on, does it really need to be so pricey when it comes out for sale? After all, you only get 4 CD's for this price. HBO has a tendency to boost the price up. If they need to put the price up because of the box set quality (because it is quite nice), well maybe they should look at something a little less costly.

Other than that, this series is quite entertaining and the cast are honestly first-class and credible. If you like any type of mafia movies or shows, this is the one you want to see!

Great story content, acting, directing, and writing. One of the best shows out there with a cinematic effect.

obviously Buy these Sets for each season as to buying all together.but the main thing is what is stronger&what isn't.the first two years this show was on Point.but season was pretty good while season four was so-so&this past year was better than last year but a step off from the Peak years of season 1&2.still David Chase gets dap for exploring so many situations with the show.next year season 6 is the last one&truth be told I feel they went one year to many on a hold.but the show is still a Good show&you never know what lays around the corner.only 10 episodes left of this Classic show.

Four great seasons of the ultimate gangster saga. The fifth and (final) sixth should firmly cement the legacy of this stalwart series.Season One is the best of the group, as it usually is with most stellar series. The best episodes: #9, #12 and #13. Season Two's finest moments are with the epitome of all evil, Richie Apriel, played with intense sinisterness by David Proval, and the David Lynch-esque finale.Season Three welcomes Ralphie C (Joe Pantaliano) and Season Four ushers him out in grand style (that will prove to be a defining moment in the shows history). Season Four also has some sensitive moments from Tony Soprano himself: His all night vigil with a sick horse (as Dean Martin sings "My Rifle, My Pony & Me"), his tolerance of Christopher's drug addiction (and the hilarious intervention that follows). Great series, great set. Watch them all.

They FINALLY lowered the price on this set. It use to be you would save if you bought them seperate. As of June 2004 you can save about $25, so id definately reccomend this set. If you dont have HBO it is a must buy.

I am assuming, since you are reading this review, you are familiar about Sopranos. This writeup is not meant to be a critique of the series (the series is absolutely brilliant), rather the wierd pricing strategy associated with this particular set.

I really do not understand this! How can the same group of people who have created one of the most amazing TV series of our times, can get their pricing strategy so wrong? It is possible to buy the four seasons separately a lot cheaper from Amamzon.com. One is supposed to get a premium for buying by the bulk and not pay a premium. If you are a fan of the series (who isn't) and still have successfully resisted the temptation to purchase the series (miracles still happen) then I strongly recommend immediate purchase of the four seasons separately. Do not buy the four seasons together and end up paying extra dollars, rather purchase the seasons separately, save some money and buy Finding Nemo and Casablanca with the balance or go out to dinner with your family or any thing else. Just please do not drop your hard earned money down the drain.

Now we can own a four season set of the Sopranos! Who'd pass up this opportunity to watch the wise guys and their struggles??? This is a tremendous series of groundbreaking television. Not a single character misses the mark and the plot twists are crazy. Just excellent work here.

To be able to sit and watch hour after hour at our own leisure is tremendous! This show is always fresh, off the cuff, and honest to a fault. Just a fabulous fabulous example of good television.

I anxiously await my set of four seasons. It's the best-acted and written television show to come around in years. (Six Feet Under, a very close second)

Having these epsiodes is like watching a 13 hour movie (per season anyway). Compulsively watachable again and again.

many were dissapointed in season 4, I was not. The characters were dissected and received treatment via fine-toothed comb. The Carmella/Furio arc was great, Adrianna finally became a full-fledged character and the brewing Tony VS Ralphie tempest finally came to a head. Even Bobby stepped up from background player to important character. Very impressed. And the finale, breathtaking.

My only complaints, and they're minor, were Melfi had nothing to do and I found Johhny Sack irritating (which was the point, I guess) But again, I love how minor characters are beautifully written to be human. Just amazing writting on a show not so much about the mob as it is the human condition.

Yeah, I am a freak for this show. Sue me, and here's to the next two seasons.
