I've only recentely started watching. Don't have HBO. I just rented The Complete First Season on DVD last week and I thought it ruled. I've watched all 13 episodes, now I just ogtta rent the other two Box Sets nad wait a LONG time before I can see Season Four, unless things with TV and all change of course. I've been interested in the mafia ever since I knew it existed, but The Godfather films really brought me into it. I don't really know why it took me so long to get into The Sopranos.
