Sopranos was original, to say otherwise is just fantasy I'm afraid

The Wire is also very good

No.

'The Sopranos' brought the Italian mobster scene to the small screen. One could argue 'Arthur Fonzerelli'/ 'The Fonz' did that first in the 70s in a 'friendly' comedic way.

Either way "original" would mean 'from scratch'. The therapist part though is 'original', that I will grant you.
 
Yes, really enjoyed it, especially episode 9. Was I the only one hoping he makes the shot.
Oh yeah, I’m not really discussing any of the episodes in detail because it’s apparent some blues on this thread are still 4 or 5 episodes from watching all 10. But yes I was also hoping he made the shot.

So original then :-)

You could argue that all you like but you’d sound daft as fuck.
 
Only as "daft as fuck" as the gangster depiction being 'original'.

I remember 'The Last Don' and, very vaguely ' A Crime Story' before 'Sopranos'. Like I said, just the therapist angle is original to me.

But you go ahead with that opinion, love.

Don’t be so defensive mate. I was referring to your Fonz reference.

You could hardly consider him a gangster, not even a comedic one.

In the 70s, 'Arthur Fonzerelli' was considered a 'bad boy/ tough guy' depicted in comedic terms. The insinuation was he was 'dangerous' and could handle anything, but chose to be nice.

Outlines of a 'gangster' without saying it.

No harm meant and it's just my opinion.
 
I've just been watching 'Skeleton Crew'.

I gave it a massive swerve because it was aimed at kids.

However, I gave it a look because I was bored and was pleasantly surprised how much of an 80s vibe it has through its main body. Moments of Spielberg-esque direction along with 'Goonies' type adventure and it pulled me in to the first episode!

Think I'll watch the other two that's out now...
