The shield is not realistic. Sopranos def more realistic than the shield. All good shows tho, the wire takes the realistic cake.

The show is absolutely slow, there's no denying. As someone mentioned earlier the show often focuses on the everyday and mundane things, which gives great perspective but also can feel tedious when watching. After a while watching Tony fawn over whatever cold cuts are in the fridge gets old. Heck Tony's scenes with his shrink seem to go on forever sometimes. The substance between the violence is what makes Sopranos great though. You understand every step of the way why things happen. But like I said before, in an era where most shows provide instant gratification its hard to go back and watch the Sopranos imo. Jack Bauer can do more in one day than Tony Soprano in an entire season.Drawn out? Maybe. Slow? Hell no. I could and can easily watch 2-3 episodes back to back and be entertained. For you to say it's slow just tells me you weren't entertained and didn't appreciate the drama and dark humor.
Sopranos is one of those shows where you really had to watch it when it first aired. Watching it after the fact, after all the changes we've seen in primetime television, is really difficult. The show is very slow and drawn out. In a day and age where most shows give instant gratification almost every episode watching the Sopranos can feel very dull. The acting and story are top notch but you have to have some free time and kinda get yourself into the mood to watch it.
better than all 3,sopranos type slow failed ending,shield very good show,ok acting,story didnt end as great as the show was same with sopranos,nt loves the wire but its not as great as people say,season 2 was weak and the ending felt rushethe wire
the sopranos
the shield
i think the shield and the wire are the most realistic of the 3 but you cant beat the sopranos
all are all worth watching
the question i want to know how is breaking bad
never saw an episode
how is it compared to the 3 shows above
Definitely true, in a sense. Tony was the first mainstream "bad" guy that you kinda cheered on. He made it cool for the masses to love a homicidal, law-breaking, selfish, ego maniac and feel okay about it.There would b no walter white without tony soprano

I finally watched the show earlier this year (thank you amazon prime) and I don't know if it's just cause I'm late (it did end 7 years ago) and it was a lot more relevant and groundbreaking back then but overall I came away feeling very disappointed. I was expecting the G.O.A.T television show, or at least one of them but all in all I felt that it was overrated. It's still very good television but between the finale and some of the more useless storylines (vito, later on with A.J. I'll try not to spoil anything) it got kind of held back.
Worth watching though.
