This show is incredibly stupid, lacking in all class, grace, and credibility.
For starters, the founder is a complete imbecile who founded his organization based on the name of the fascist government that committed the Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian Genocides of 1915. The fact that the media has no problem with this but would interject if, say, he decided to call it the Nazi Party shows how disgustingly shallow and corrupt left-wing media is at showing objectivity in what they deem taboo.
The show uses sensationalism and clickbait to entice its viewers, knowing that its target audience has the IQ of Forest Gump and will succumb to any kind of cheap trick or gimmick.
Anna Karparian is a sell-out Armenian who shamelessly spews her nonsense positions with inconsistency, and her sole point of being there is to bring legitimacy to the fact that Cenk, who has denied the Armenian genocide, wants to soften the blow to his credibility by having a moronic co-host with an Armenian last name.
Cenk is also an utterly worthless, hot-headed filth bag who yells his way into attempting relevancy spews lies, deceit and, misinformation, and disinformation, all while looking and sounding like complete and utter trash.
I would give this show a -10 if I could, but I will settle for the lowest score allowed on IMDB.

To describe HBO's The Sopranos as a simple television series would be an understatement of grand proportions. It is a narrative triumph that revolutionized television drama and took it into a dimension unexplored before its inception. The magic it unfurls is akin to capturing lightning in a bottle, a phenomenon that is not merely a show, but a reflection of life itself.
As someone who initially wasn't invested in the crime genre, the series was nothing more than a matter of curiosity at first. I found myself watching episodes out of order, intrigued by the hype and acclaim surrounding it. Little did I know then, I was embarking on a journey that would reshape my perception of television and leave indelible imprints on my mind.
One of the show's strongest points lies in its characters - fully realized, flawed, and intensely human. James Gandolfini's portrayal of Tony Soprano is nothing short of masterful, earning him a rightful place in the pantheon of unforgettable television characters. The dynamics between him and his wife, Carmela Soprano, played exquisitely by Edie Falco, are both heart-wrenching and electrifying. The complexity of their relationship offers an unparalleled examination of marital struggles, power dynamics, and existential crises.
Similarly, supporting characters like the manipulative Livia Soprano, the grumpy yet amusing Junior, the troubled Christopher Moltisanti, the eccentric Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri, and the tragic but complex Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero, all add unique hues to this intricately woven narrative.
This isn't just a story about the mafia. This is about the American Dream in all its dappled, sometimes ugly, reality. It's about the complexities of human existence, about family, loyalty, ambition, guilt, and redemption. In many ways, The Sopranos is a modern retelling of the epic stories that have captivated humanity for centuries - it is our generation's answer to the likes of the Bible, the Iliad of Homer, and Shakespearean tragedies.
In terms of storyline, The Sopranos stands as a paragon of narrative excellence. The intricate plot, coupled with rich character development, keeps you on the edge of your seat, while the thematic depth implores you to think, to question, and to introspect. The earlier seasons (1-4) are particularly powerful, although seasons 5 and 6 also have standout episodes that are truly unforgettable.
One cannot discuss The Sopranos without acknowledging its brilliant musical choices. The soundtrack is a character in itself, perfectly encapsulating the show's mood, its cultural backdrop, and the characters' emotional arcs. The way the music and visuals synergize to tell the story is truly remarkable.
The Sopranos is not just a viewing experience; it's a phenomenon that demands to be felt, understood, and treasured. The bar it set during its time is so high that even its contemporary, Breaking Bad, while extraordinary in its own right, does not quite match it. The Sopranos, with its unrivaled chemistry, spectacular performances, and profound storytelling, remains a titan in the world of television.
In conclusion, words can only do so much justice to the artistic brilliance that is The Sopranos. It is something that must be experienced first-hand in its full glory, a masterpiece that redefines the possibilities of the medium and leaves a lasting impact long after the final credits roll. It is a testament to the power of television storytelling that continues to resonate and inspire. Truly, The Sopranos is an enduring classic, a phenomenon that remains unmatched.
