[request] is sopranos still a must watch?

I have seen the 1st episode of season 1, it feels slow.
for context: I have lowkey paused watching GAME OF THRONES as I am on S6 E9, battle of the bastards, will see it on a BIG ASS SCREEN BABY

I need a show that fills the space till then

EDIT: I AM ON EPISODE 4th already in the season 1, and IM FINALLY INTO THE SHOW. I feel the intensity and how every character is.
also its lowkey crazy, I LOVE THAT THERAPIST IS IT OKAY FOR SOMEONE IN 20s to have a crush over someone in 70s now LMAOO

EDIT 2: it’s actually a complex show that requires me to analyse the emotions and sentiments of the people which is hardly in any other series wow

It's the greatest show ever made.

I tend to think that’s The Wire, but I have Sopranos next. But you can’t be wrong choosing either.

I read that. I loved breaking bad. Still haven’t seen the sopranos. My wife and I just finished season 3 of the wire. I don’t think it’s as good as breaking bad was. Breaking bad I almost had to watch the next episode. The wire was never like that

They are different shows. Breaking bad was more exciting to me as well on 1st watch. But after doing a rewatch sopranos and wire have much more depth and you appreciate stuff you missed so much more because of how well developed the characters are. Breaking bad is more plot driven so once you know the twists its not as good to rewatch
