    Sopranos is boring

    "Otherness", "Italian", "Fat".

    Well. Otherness as "Italian" I can buy. But murderers, and fat people? Americans as a rule are fat. And they are happy to murder each other.

    I saw the very first episode of the "Sopranos" and it was decidedly a boring and very predictable show. Cannot understand its "cult" reputation. Stupid story line, bad acting. Waste of time. Might appeal to someone who thinks "The Godfather" was the best movie ever made.

    NB: Being fat and murdering other people is less common in Italy than in the US. Check the statistics.
