    I'm mid way through the last series of the Sopranos after re-watching them over the course of the last 2 months. I watched them all when they were on TV but id not seen anything for a good couple of years. Its absolute quality from start to finish and a real struggle to find even an episode id personally rate as less than 4 out of 5 stars.
