Season 1:

This started it all. season 1 is so great that i got chills up my spine when watching it. i knew there was hope for television programming after this show was shown to me. this is the season that mostly revolves around Tony's mobster activities, while other seasons focused on other things in his life. the finale was one of the strongest and most involving ever, where i saw every person i hated through the whole season go down in 60 minutes. ah brilliant.

Grade: A+

Season 2:

This is the worst entry in the Sopranos series. Each season of the Sopranos seems to have its own voice and each season is completely different from the other, but this one wasn't. this season suffered from being too much like season 1 and ended with a finale that was no where near memorable because of its extremely weak second half. but this brought such great moments as Janice killing Ritchie, P**** finally getting whacked, and Tony's battles with trying to get back into therapy. also, the attempted hit on Christopher which leads to my favorite episode ever, "From Where to Eternity"

Grade: B+

Season 3:

Season 3 is great and much better than 2. it has the episode pine barrens which is a favorite among almost all fans. there is also a greta episode called "employee of the month" that had an emmy worthy performance by Bracco, but was sadly overlooked. Overall great season, and terrific near the end with Jackie Jr. trying to be a mobster yet screwing everything up so badly, then finally getting the bullet to the back of the head in the last episode.

Grade: A

Season 4:

This is another great season, but yet second worst. probably the most underrated season also. i like how David Chase made the transfer from a plot oriented show to a character oriented show. Whitecaps, which is possibly my 2nd favorite episode, is brilliant and still leaves me i nawe when watching it. i loved all the artsy episodes and how al lthe characters seemed to have bigger parts(except paullie). In "Whoever Did This," it was great to see Ralph get the hammer, then that scene i have rewound a million times where Tony walks out of the club at the end of that episode. Wow

Grade: A-

Season 5:

I am pleasantly surprised to say that season 5 is the best season yet. Season 4 suffered from having a great style of character development but having not so good story lines to go with it. Season 5 found the prefect balance between character development and intense plot lines. Some great episodes are Long Term Parking, Unidenified Black Males, All Due Respect, The Test Dream, Two Tonys, and Where's Johnny? overall, spectacular season.

Grade: A+

this is one of the best show on TV. with it concluding with its next season, it will be sad to see it gone, but it has run its course and will go down in my and many other peoples minds as one of the best drama shows to ever hit airwaves.
