Show's technical attributes are still first-rate and the direction/portrayals makes each character come to lifeJuly 11, 2014
This is The Sopranos at its best, a series that doesn't play by television conventions. It doesn't make nice.July 15, 2014
"Mr. Ruggerio's Neighborhood" is a slyly confident, funny return to the world of The Sopranos, an episode that takes a cue from, well, Hitchcock to talk as much about our relationship to the show as anything else.July 11, 2014
What's remarkable about [producer David] Chase's work on Sopranos is his ability to maintain the show's crucial duality: We don't want Tony to be caught and punished, but we always know he should be.July 11, 2014
Even measured against insanely high expectations, the series is as good as it has ever been.July 11, 2014
It goes beyond The Godfather because it's punctuated with smiles, and set to a score that uses the music of big-name artists in an unusually creative way.July 11, 2014
If the true test of a show is how it handles adversity, the third-season premiere on March 4 proves The Sopranos is better than ever.July 11, 2014
The nice thing about The Sopranos is that everything -- every subplot, every minor character, every musical cue (the premiere's highlight: Tony, singing along in the car to Steely Dan's ''Dirty Work'') -- yields resultsJuly 11, 2014
It's their moral ambiguity that most grounds them in reality and makes them so fascinating that missing even one episode is unthinkable. Every move they make, every step they take, we'll be watching them.July 11, 2014
Overall, The Sopranos returns in better form this year than it did at the start of its second season. New territory is explored and Chase seems more willing to push the Soprano story forward. It's not sitting in neutral by any means.
