Where to watch
Wise Guy premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. It was shown on HBO and its streaming service Max on September 7. Both episodes of this two-part documentary can be watched on Jio Cinema in India.
The Sopranos, starring James Gandolfini, was one of HBO’s most critically acclaimed shows. It ran for six seasons and won 21 Emmy Awards. It was also the first cable series to win the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series. It also earned Michael Imperioli an acting Emmy in 2004.
More than awards, this show about mid-level New Jersey gangsters proved that audiences could also handle morally complex anti-heroes, paving the way for shows like Breaking Bad and Mad Men, and ushering in a time when TV began to eat into cinema.
