Review of College

The Sopranos: College (1999)
Season 1, Episode 5
10/10
Great episode, great series. David Chase really hit a home run with The Sopranos. Sad that Mr. Gandolfini didn't live longer and share more of his talent with us

I've been revisiting The Sopranos and and just as amazed as I was in the beginning. This was literature on film. Absolutely brutal, thought provoking, deeply disturbing, and heartbreaking. I'm so glad I was able to experience this show from the beginning. Now with the film of his youth I'm looking forward to how this will play out. I'm cautiously optimistic. Glad his son will play a young Tony. Still the best TV show ever made. The symbolism in this show is honestly incredible. There is something timeless about this episode. When I watch it, I just feel like I'm in that time when I first saw it. That it was cinematic but more revolutionary... more intimate than a film. I think if you first saw Gandolfini in True Romance this episode wasn't as shock.. but you know the threat he portrayed was electric. This episode always stayed with me after all these years. The fact he's taking his daughter around different colleges - which is a happy, normal thing to do - and picks her up again after murdering someone an hour before. And the murder itself is pretty disturbing.
