Although a great crime drama it also always had a touch of humour in the show (like Breaking bad)from the characters, most obvious being Paulie , that made you love it more.Every line in the show was not about whacking someone.The show made each character believable and showed all the different sides them.They did not go the easy route and simply have card board cut out bad guys.Nobody was totally evil but nobody was totally good either and the writers and actors did an excellent job of conveying this to the audience. It did show as in real life there is no black or white only shades of grey.

Best TV show ever made. Brilliant story lines, great acting and well produced. Keeps you interested and entertained throughout. Gritty, realistic and hilarious in places. The creator/writers new not to drag the show on just for the money, unlike the thousands of shows that have hit our screens. Has the greatest ending to any television or movie made to date. Superb.
