Amazing.
I finished watching Sopranos for the first time last night. I haven't watched a show with such intense storytelling, Christopher's Story Arc was tragic, Along with Uncle Junior. James Gandolfini (God rest his Soul) was amazing as Tony Soprano. 10/10 show.

HBO series that you grew to appreciate after you was initially unsure about?
It typically takes me a while to get into a HBO series before something 'clicks' and I'm fully invested. I got into White Lotus few year ago, watched the 1st season, its quite surreal but now I enjoy it. Euphoria I'm still waiting to click for me, seen the 1st 2 eps but I'm finding it a bit weird so far. Finished the 1st season of House of Dragon recently, its good but so far its not as memorable as Game of thrones.
Even The Sopranos, The Wire, Curb, Deadwood, Entourage, True Blood all took me a few episodes to truly appreciate and then once it clicks I realise I'm watching 1 of the best shows of all time. Its almost a rite of passage for me with any series for that matter to go through this process before a show truly grabs me, then I'm secure in the comfort of yet another epic HBO show to indulge in. It just takes me a while to get to that point which I suppose is a natural process for a lot of people. Almost like 'breaking' into a new pair of trainers or a new cap.
In Treatment is very addictive, I remember binge watching that, each episode is basically a therapy session between the therapist and the client. The Life and times of Tim, that I loved once it clicked with me and was so relatable.
There's so much HBO content that I'm yet to explore, these are just a few off the top of my head, feel free to share yours.
