Featured review
Great self contained episode
You can never have seen any other episode of the Sopranos and totally enjoy this one. It is less serious than most, but that is not detrimental. It is like a mini Scorsese movie, but actually meatier on plot than some of his early "classics". The plot revolves around the FBI attempting to bug Tony's house. There is no moments of confusion about what is going on due to never seeing previous episodes, and it wraps up neatly with clear indications it will be relevant in future episodes. Plus it has the GENIUS mash up of Peter Gunn and the Police Every Breath You Take, which as it is playing, fits the action on screen like a glove. Would rate it 10, but got to reserve that number for the best of the best. (Episode also does not have a Dr. Melfi scene, which is always a plus)
