About The Sopranos
The Sopranos, writer-producer-director David Chase's extraordinary television series, is nominally an urban gangster drama, but its true impact strikes closer to home: Like 1999's other screen touchstone, American Beauty, the HBO series chronicles a dysfunctional, suburban American family in bold relief. And for protagonist Tony Soprano, there's the added complexity posed by heading twin families, his collegial mob clan and his own, nouveau riche brood.
How to get through The Sopranos faster
- Skip the intro. Roughly a minute and a quarter per episode adds up to about 1 hour, 48 minutes across the whole run.
- Bump the speed. At 1.25× the total drops to 66.7 hours; at 1.5× it's 55.6 hours.
- Watch with a comment section. A running conversation pinned to each moment makes long stretches feel shorter, and it's the reason TalkAbtIT exists.
