In this episode we break down the pilot episode of The Sopranos, which was created by David Chase. The series premiered on January 10, 1999, on HBO. The Sopranos aired for six seasons, and all episodes are available to stream on Amazon Prime and HBO.   As always, we take a look at the (HBO) description: “Hailed as one of television’s essential dramas, The Sopranos follows James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano: husband, father, and mob boss whose professional and private strains land him in the office of his therapist.” I like to think they used the phrase “Hailed as one of television’s essential dramas” when the show was originally released. You know, just kind of willing it out into the world.   We also discuss some of the background information on the show, as well as the new prequel movie that will be released in 2020.   In addition to our detailed breakdown of the episode, we also highlight some of our own experiences growing up in Italian families. I mean, not too much though. We’re not turning government witness or anything here.   For more information and to contact us, check out our social media pages: Facebook @YouMeAndTV, Twitter @YouMeAndTVPod, and Instagram @youmeandtvpodcast.
