The Sopranos: Chasing It (2007)
Sooooo underrated
This episode is epically underrated. When I used to watch it, it was remembered for Vito jr taking a dump in the shower and Phil's epic speech to Vito junior.
Upon multiple rewatches, it's one of my favorite episodes. It shows Tony as the most relatable (to me) person ever. I've lost it on my wife exactly like Tony did in that episode, and had such beautiful makeups as Tony did with carm in the episode.
Even Tony with Hesh... never once does he actually threaten to harm Hesh..... but Tony, blindly, assumes Hesh is family and isn't concerned about the money. "It's a stutter step"... Hesh expects some sort of payment and Tony is embarrassed and hurt by Hesh... then Tony pays Hesh all his money back when his wife dies... cause that's how Tony assumes he shows Hesh he cares... Tony's badly understood and a lot of people use this episode to point to him "breaking bad"... I see this episode as the opposite: it's Tony being himself and hurt by the people who he loves and respects.
Breaking Bad: Felina (2013)
Way too paint by numbers
Breaking bad... Common, huh?
This was pretty bland by comparison to the sopranos... it spoke to the audience of breaking bad. Of which I was one... I loved the show. First time through it blew my mind.. second time through. There's nothing there. It's incredibly not rewatchable. I've tried but you know everything that's going to happen... the whole thing is plot driven which makes it incredibly unrewatchable... it's great the first time through until ozymandias. The last two episode are like an epilogue to ozymandias. Who cares what happens to Walt, Jesse or anyone? We know Walt's done for at this point anyway.
The sopranos is way way way more rewatchable... and even the finale (if you acknowledge Tony's dead it's amazing... if you acknowledge David chase is doing a Stanley Kubrick impression directing the finale it's perfect and a work of art) is better than breaking bad.
Breaking bad's finale is fan service and nothing more.... Which is fine. And I love Vince Gilligan !!
