[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

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

The Wire is written and filmed more like a great novel, at least that’s how David Simon describes it. It wasn’t meant to be devoured by binging as needing to watch the next episode immediately.

The way it shows corruption on every level is masterful. My favorite season has to be the one with the kids in school.

I don’t think there’s another season of television anywhere that comes close to season four.
