Review of The Many Saints of Newark (2021) by Ralfbergs — 11 Jan 2022

I felt like the story didn't really have substance to it. I have seen all Sopranos episodes and this felt like they are just capitalizing on Sopranos from past. Yes some characters were interesting to see how they were shown in past but the story itself felt like very random and not much about it.

Especially it wasn't even much about Tony and how he became who he was - ok even if it was not the idea, the story was still very simplistic. Even the racial aspect which at first it felt they wanna show in those times, eventually ended up only scratched upon a bit.

Also the slang felt like not natural there but put in everywhere possible. I am giving it a 5 because for me it was watchable and was interesting to see Sopranos characters and how they were made in past, but I really wonder for casual watcher, who havent seen Sopranos, is it really that interesting.
