      Audience Reviews for The Sopranos: Season 2

      • May 03, 2023
        This was the first season that had to deal with hype. It soared. Some new characters, and some great stories along the way.
      • Mar 17, 2023
        Great writers. All around just amazing.
      • Feb 21, 2023
        I really think this is one of the weaker seasons with the characters not being as interesting as in the others. Still a banger.
      • Dec 17, 2022
        Love the way they explore so many interesting themes and topics. Really explores the human condition.
      • Sep 20, 2022
        My friends and I have watched and re-watched the series so many times and still manage to catch a few lines that are gems. Best show ever...the show that started it all. We even have a chat group dedicated to the show and all the amazing lines and writing.
      • Sep 05, 2022
        I'm two decades late but I wanted tojoin the party! hurrah for sopranoes. how are you better than season 1!!
      • Jun 19, 2022
        Solid second season that continues much of the greatness of the first though shows some rough edges. The cast remains excellent with a great new addition in David Proval as Richie Aprile, a newly released mobster ready to retake his place in the family. Behind the camera, David Chase keeps the mob intrigue coming, mixing in the personal and criminal. However, when Tony's sister shows up (played by Aida Turturro), it gets slightly tedious, though it does pay off in the end. Overall, a slight dip, like most sophomore seasons, but still great.
      • Jan 16, 2022
        The drama and emotions continue with more characters and a tightening grip with the drama the second season of The Sopranos gets more engaging than before as tensions rise and struggles are more common.
      • Oct 04, 2021
        A good follow up that does not disappoint and has a lot of suprises.
      • Aug 29, 2021
        Being much too young to watch this when it originally aired, I caught this show in my adulthood when I could truly appreciate it for what it was and has jumped to the top of some of the most respected works of art I've ever witnessed. I was a big fan growing up of Italian gangster films, like "The Godfather" (1972) or "Goodfellas" (1990), so it never made any sense why it took me so long to get around to this one. As a kid I remember seeing glimpses of it on TV, in particular, one of the most violent scenes I could could've witness and that's where I learned what ‘curb stomping' meant. James Gandolfini took my heart away with this show! I could've watched that man perform for hours straight! I wish we could've seen more of Gandolfini before he passed, but I'm thankful for what he gave us and am continually inspired by his work and dedication to character. 'Tony Soprano' has outweighed all my favorite on-screen gangsters, but maybe that's because we got to live with him for so long over the course of 86 hour long episodes. That's over 5,000 hours of 'Tony Soprano'. Compared to the normal 2-3 we get in films. We got the day in the life, the intimate, the little moments, the humanity of a ‘gangster' and getting to see more inside the mind of him. Speaking of inside the mind of him, Lorraine Bracco is the mastermind therapist who allows us to get inside the head of mob boss 'Tony Soprano'. It's one of my favorite elements of the show, breaking down the toughest of the tough and we get a therapy session almost every episode. It's the heart of the show. It's the heart of 'Tony Soprano' we get to see in there. Bracco's been stuck in my mind ever since I saw her in Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas" (1990) and was so pleased to see she was a regular on "The Sopranos" (1999-2007). It makes all the meta-references in the show to "Goodfellas" (1990) all the more enjoyable! There's more than just a couple people from "Goodfellas" (1990) that made it into "The Sopranos" (1999-2007), but Michael Imperioli might be my most memorable part of watching "Goodfellas" (1990) as the poor bartender/waiter who gets shot by Joe Pesci's character. He truly gets to shine in ways unimaginable in this show as ‘Christopher Moltisanti'! One of my favorite characters! Edie Falco, who plays 'Tony Soprano''s wife, is what makes this show work so god d*** well! She's the toughest person in this show by far! Seeing her side by side with James Gandolfini in a scene is like nothing else! They are magic together on the screen, whether it's heated or sweet, or anywhere in the middle, it's their chemistry that has captured me so in this show! From Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Tony Sirico, Drea de Matteo, Steven Van Zandt, to Dominic Chianese, and so many others, this show really has an incredible ensemble that help create the intricate and exciting universe that is "The Sopranos" (1999-2007). Not to mention all the incredible season cameos and guest stars that grace this show with their presence as well! It broke the walls of what a hero and villain could mean, giving us the first true anti-hero that we fell in love with on the television. "The Sopranos" (1999-2007) has paved the way for some of the biggest hits of today's generation and more, from AMC's "Breaking Bad" to Showtime's "Dexter" and so many more! "Dexter" remained a favorite for years, then I saw where it came from and had to give my respect to the original.. "The Sopranos" may take the cake for my favorite show of all time. It warms my heart to see James Gandolfini's son, Michael Gandolfini, taking the mantle to a degree, and getting to play a young ‘Tony Soprano' in the upcoming prequel film "The Many Saints of Newark" (2021) which will be directed by "The Sopranos" (1999-2007) creator David Chase. The old team really is getting back together in new and exciting ways! I can't wait!
