The mundanity of funerals in The Sopranos is so good, both because of how it's used for comedic effect, and also because, frankly, it's a lot closer to the experience I've had with funerals than any other TV show has managed.

That time Tony and Carmela take a break from Christopher's funeral to go to the funeral of Paulie's mom and he gets *so mad* almost nobody showed for her... what a good show.

Youtube autoplayed Christopher's intervention after the funferal scene and I couldn't stop watching. Pretty much every line and interaction still makes me laugh and are often competely out of left field like the guy who got caught stealing those pork loins, one thing I caught this time is Tony saying, "I know what it's like to lose a pet" in refence to Christopher killing Adrianna's dog Collette. And thinking about it, I'm not sure if he's talking about the ducks, the dog his dad gave to his mistress, or the race horse. It could be any of them and it's wonderful, also foreshadowing Melphi's discovery that psychopaths often care more about pets than human life.

Then he gets back home and raves about what a great experience he had and how he feels sorry for anyone who's never been to the Mother Land, pretending it was because it was so culturally enriching. Also, Chris spent the entire time shooting junk and never saw Mt. Vesuvius or whatever it was he was determined to do.

The locals made fun of them like Jersey Italians mock folks who eat spaghetti with Ragu sauce.

I love the silent scenes when they're in the car driving back from the airport and passing all this depressing ugly poo poo in that part of NJ.

They thought it was gonna be like The Godfather or some poo poo and even the don they met up with just a senile old dude in a wheelchair.

Chase commented it was lovely to shoot there because you could just point the camera and you'd have an amazing shot.

I was sort of wary of the series because the film is so good at deglamorising the Camorra characters and their world and the series is set up more like a standard mob drama, but it does start off really well in terms of making very compelling drama out of totally detestable characters. Unfortunately every season is a little worse than the last until it descends into pure pulp. I'd recommend up to the end of season 3, which could have easily served as a final season anyway.

I should note it's super bleak and there's very little humour outside of how gaudily the gangsters furnish their apartments inside of their shithole ghetto power bases.

Is Gomorrah season 3 the one that ends with Gennaro sitting all by himself in that underground bunker?

The show is very bleak but also very very good.

No that's 4, 3 is Ciro taking the bullet for Genny and getting dumped off the yacht. I thought 4 had a ton of loving problems and the show had more or less run out of things to say even if that was a strong note to end on. Maybe it doesn't sound much of a recommendation to suggest people only watch part of a series, but there's so much fantastic stuff in it until then, if it had kept to that it would easily be one of my top shows of all time.
