Sam and I loved Season 1! Thank you to everyone for all of the support! Now bring on Season 2!

[@f1playlist308]

Probably the best season! Some great new characters introduced.

[@CoryGasaway]

seasons 2-4 are masterful

[@fsociety7494]

Fun fact. The guy who plays paulie walnuts (Tony sirico), was an actual gangsta, arrested over 28 times and known in the underworld, before turning to acting.

When season 1 originally aired on HBO, I keyed my Dad into the show by comparing my maternal grandma (his mother-in-law) to Livia. He was shocked by how closely the show tracked. It became our own inside joke. 😁 By the way, Nancy Marchand was such a talented actress to make you hate Livia so much that you wanted Tony to kill her.

[@marcuscato9083]

You two are awesome. Some people say how they wish they could see The Sopranos again as if it was the first time. Your reaction is the best, its like watching it all over again. Please keep it up! All of your videos.

[@yinyang8381]

Samantha's "You bitch!" comment about Livia had me freakin' rolling! Paulie's run in with the poison ivy is one of my all-time favorite moments. Anytime somebody mentions poison ivy, I automatically think of Paulie and start laughing, LOL! Great reaction as usual with you two. Can't wait for you to start Season 2!

[@NotQuiteFirst]

Best Paulie moment is when he shoots the carpet slipper in the snow 😂

[@yinyang8381]

@@NotQuiteFirst I had completely forgotten about that, LOL!!!

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

The thing I love about that scene is that Chris is full of murderous rage over his friend's death... But it's Paulie who shoots first, not for Brendon but because Mikey committed the cardinal sin of accidentally leading him into some poison ivy while running for his life. Paulie was officially the pettiest gangster to ever exist.

[@pollystye3270]

Christopher's dad died when he was still a baby, so Tony is what he bases his concept of manhood on. So Tony confessing to having any sort of weakness or vulnerability is too much for Chris to handle. I think that's why he reacted to the news of Tony going to therapy the way he did.

[@donkeylipsgelfin6983]

I always wanted a spin-off where Pauly and Silvio end up as roommates in a mob / Odd Couple-like comedy series. It would have been gold.

[@tidepride86]

I am so glad you guys are into this masterpiece of a show. Enjoy the ride!

[@aleatharhea]

I bet they named Livia for Livia Drusilla, wife of the Emperor Augustus Caesar. She was a manipulative matriarch who was rumored to be responsible for the deaths of multiple members of her family.

[@leniobarcelos1770]

@14:39 I've always really liked that ending to Season 1. There's something really comforting about it with the rain and power outage, and all.

[@VonPunk]

It's great that you still have 73 more episodes of one of the greatest shows ever made to enjoy, you are not gonna be disappointed. Your reactions to Season 1 have been excellent to watch, thank you. ☺

[@jesuspernia8031]

Christopher took revenge for his friend, Paulie took revenge for his poison ivy.

[@righteouslydefiant5362]

The reason for Tony's smirk was because the guy on TV said that it was "a crippling blow to mob activity" the reality of the situation is they won't even break stride

[@MikeB12800]

James Gadolfini was so amazing! RIP

[@Duskwalker68]

This was a great season of reactions, can't wait to watch you guys react to the rest of the series! It just gets better and better as it goes on.

Also, long run, you guys will be amazed at this show's incredible replay value. Like a sauce that tastes better the next day, Sopranos only gets more amazing with repeated viewings!

FYI Chase has said explicitly that his mother was the model for Livia. I also heard him on a podcast saying he is trying ketamine therapy.

[@nirvanalama8493]

Sam was right about Tony confronting his mom Livia about him knowing everything, that it was supposed to be at the end of the series. But the actress who plays Livia actually died IRL, so they had to cut it short. Idk, it was something like that. That stretcher scene was done with CGI. So, Samantha was right bout it!!

[@mikaltima]

This show was so good I used to call it the fastest hour on television

[@ANARKOTEROR]

9:45 I've never been able to get over the fact that Paulie out of all people somehow has been the most reasonable one about this. You'll see what I mean...

[@bigredtlc1828]

I love Artie. He's a little bit of a goofball and naive about Tony's influence, but he's a good guy trying to make a living and be friends with Tony. He wants to be one of the "guys" but as a civilian. Maybe he represents us as viewers, the guy that's enamored and intrigued by Tony but also firmly planted in the real world with a wife who helps keep him there. Great character.

[@Bonobanos]

i think it was established during the Tennessee Moltisanti ep that christopher finds therapy and admitting to depression to be laughable and inconceivable, in reality no one would respect the crime boss if he admitted to going to therapy so everyone very tentatively accepting tony’s situation is a big stretch.

Go take a Midol “The fu*k?!” This channel is awesome

[@axelbruv]

I know this is an old video, but as to the point you made about Tony's crew not supporting him about his therapy, I think about it a different way. They're friendly with Tony, but they're not his friends. They're criminals with no/limited conscience or capacity for empathy. There's no honour among thieves, as they say. They could turn on each other at the drop of a hat. It's also a masculine culture, in which a leader worthy of respect is stoic and strong. I think that, in real life, mobsters would be far less tolerant of it than Paulie and Silvio were.

[@aleatharhea]

I don't remember how it panned out in the show, but I can't believe you would be able to fake a stroke with trained medical personnel around. After my mom had a stroke, they told me to monitor her blood pressure and O2 level, among other things, for anomalies that might presage another one. That is to say, I’m no nurse, but I think there are metabolic clues you wouldn’t necessarily be able to fake. And then once they get you to the hospital, they can do a brain scan to see if you had one.

[@alvin2795]

[@tidepride86]

Lol I forgive Tony for whacking Chuckie on the boat in broad daylight simply for hiding his gun inside a fish LOL

Chucky was loading up weights when Tony approached him. Chucky was a member, so he's not hired. You have to do that for free if you're told too. Like your mom telling you to vacuum the floor

[@michaeljames6817]

I think because Livia is such a hated character, Nancy Marchand the actress never got enough credit as one of the best actors on the show. That's often how it is with those types of characters.

[@aleatharhea]

I tell you how I figured out my mom was having a stroke. She was in bed, her eyes were open, but she wasn't really answering me. I thought she might just be groggy. She managed to say something, but it wasn't meaningful. I called an on-call nurse, and she gave me some easy questions to ask, which she couldn't answer. The nurse told me have her repeat a phrase, which she couldn't do. She asked if my mom's face looked droopy anywhere or immobile (not that I could tell). I believe I remember her having me look in her eyes, but I don't remember if I was looking for large pupils or pinholes. She had me raise each arm in turn and tell her to hold it up, which she couldn't do. It didn't take long for the nurse to tell me to call an ambulance. If you get help within 3 hours of the stroke occurring, there are things they can do. She has recovered pretty well and can still talk (with word memory issues) and walk with a roller. You know, they have doctors and nurses you can call 24/7 in England for similar help (we experienced this when my husband had a blocked bladder while we were there). I only had access to this service in the US because my mom had recently had an operation (probably the cause of the stroke) and it was part of the aftercare. We need this to be available to everyone. It would save a lot of lives. Universal healthcare!

[@JasonMoir]

[@Flesharrower]

Something you might want to do when you finish the series is go back and reflect on how much your attitude to the characters changes from season 1 through the last season. Would be interesting I think. You'll soon see that there is no real love or respect between ANY of the characters, not Artie and Tony nor Tony and his crew. In the end everyone is in it for themselves and every piece of information and weakness is taken on board and stored for use later on.

[@ChristopherJ0884]

War of ‘99 This is a great episode

[@vincemac2223]

What was interesting to me with Christopher killing Michael, is that Christopher was killing a the kind of mobster the he could become if he doesn't learn to think before speaking and acting. Michael was a bigmouth cocky asshole high on power he did not deserve or even have. Also it is impossible to fake a stroke. There are very visible physical signs any EMT would absolutely know on sight. I know I was an EMT for 12 years. But then the hospital would absolutely be able to confirm. It has been many years since I have seen this show, so I don't remember how the show handles Livia's stroke. But likely even in the show I would think the stroke was real. Probably because of the hits she knew took place. Likely she was scared into one due to her age and health issues. The writers were good enough to not make a mistake like faking a stroke, but I don't remember.
