This is legitimately maybe the greatest ending to an episode of television in history. The complete and total 180 Carm pulls on T, and the fact that Tony, having metaphorically saved the world for once, gets rewarded with nothing but misery, as he is nearly incapable of genuinely enjoying anything. Lastly, the music is as perfect a fit as there ever could be. Gives me chills every single time, without fail.
This is such a great irony. Tony breaks up with Irina, gets rid of Richie and thus saves Janice, yet it still feels like everything is wrong. For once, Tony did save the world - but he can't enjoy (is he incapable of enjoying it). The music here fits perfectly.
build up and great falling action with great actors and the music along with editing…. she didn’t give a shit what Tony went through from the start. That’s how women can be, especially when pissed. She called to confirm and knew he was really at Janice house, but she had her mind made up, before she heard the story. She gave sympathy for a few seconds and went into boss bitch mode. 😂 Tony left like fuck…. 😢🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
The wire was good, but the Sopranos was larger than life. The footprint it left behind is still seen in shows like Breaking Bad today. The sopranos completely changed the standard for television drama.
I've rewatched most episodes and the entire Sopranos series at least 3 times, some episodes closer to 10 times. The Wire? I watched it once, and every time I think about rewatching it I go watch a Sopranos episode instead (or Star Trek TNG). The Wire is very very smart, but I can't relate to it, not like I relate to The Sopranos. I'm not a cop, or a journalist, or involved in drugs, but I have a family, and the anxiety they generate, like with all of us - this is why The Sopranos is much more successful. If I was a critic, which I ain't, I would say both shows are equally amazing, beautifully produced and the storylines are well executed. But as a viewer, The Sopranos generates a lot more feelings and the story has more soul. Its like apples and oranges really.
I remember, 22 years ago, sitting in my chair in my single apartment watching this episode. I vividly recall my mouth opening as the song started. I was amazed. Truly impressed by the quality of this show. I said to myself that this may be the perfect Sopranos episode, the perfect hour of television that I've seen (until the Breaking Bad 'Ozymandias' episode). I don't get that feeling often, but when I do, it's almost euphoric.
It was playing in the background before when Janice and Richie had their party at Tony's house.. and then it picks up here with a completely different context. beautiful
@@nelstar4676 I never noticed that! They did a similar thing with Journey's "Wheel in the Sky" which was playing when Vic Musso was doing the wallpaper, and then at the end credits when Tony and AJ are driving the boat.
My favorite ending of the entire series. Tony looked so weak in that final shot after actually doing some good. It was framed perfectly. Great song too.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the way Tony is just sitting there at the end. His face says everything - and the song is just PERFECTION. One of the best endings to an episode, ever. I often go back to watch the whole episode just for this ending alone.
Another example of why the The Sopranos is the GOAT. Tony slumped on the couch, hasn't slept, showered or shaved, and the perfect music. Hell, ALL the music still amazes me.
Im on my 6th go through of the Sopranos series and season 2 always sticks out to me as arguably the best of them all. The music, the drama, that prick Richie Aprile, made for some of the best television ever produced.
Saw this episode for the first time last night, it's my favorite so far. I love this end scene with the music, just awesome. Wish he was still alive, great actor, loved his performance in True Romance in the hotel scene looking for the cocaine, he was a monster.
Show truly was a masterclass. This ending and the song really makes you feel the despair of Tony. The duality of his life just doesn't allow him to be the guy he wants to be, and this ending really makes you feel how lost Tony constantly is.
Carm's eyeroll is some of the best acting ever! The scary thing about the actors is that they often dont remember the scenes the same way the fans do. Apparently many of the actors have never seen all of the episodes.
I get a warm feeling in my stomach when I watch this scene. It's goodbye to Richie for good, and for Janice, until she comes back, and for Tony for settling everything up with Rina.
Dan Jones oh yeah breaking bad was good but doesnt even come close to the sopranos. the sopranos was by far the best show in terms of plot, acting, and the way they filmed scenes was beautiful and extremely intelligent
Dan Jones the only scene that wasnt good was when they edited in livias face after the actor died in real life. that scene was horrific cgi, they should have had her die off camera or just not show her face from the front in the scene
Have to totally disagree... Breaking Bad was the single best drama ever on television...bar none. Sopranos was excellent... But not quite the league of Breaking Bad.
I love Breaking Bad, I really do. But I challenge anyone to give me a more perfect ending to an episode of television than this. I remember watching this live on HBO and was just blown away.
damn i miss looking forward to this show. the wire and mad men are great shows, but i don't think we will ever see the likes of a sopranos ever again. it changed the game.
When I hear this song its a blast of memories, visions and emotions from my life around the year 2000. Back then I was not even aware of The Sopranos, but everything in this show reminds of a simpler life. I was Meadow's age then with all possibilities in life still ahead of me. Had a nice life with all my family around. It was a nice but naive and blissfully innocent life. Now I'm Tony's age and very much aware and in love with the show. The inevitable growing up that we all do makes life more interesting but less visceral. Do I miss those days? yes sure. But what I miss more is hearing this song for the first time. But that's not gonna happen. You get what I mean, right?
I used to fast forward through Tony’s sessions with Melfi, but that was a mistake, because I don’t think we can understand TS without her insights and his sharing despite the fact that he was often lying to her.
And this song is perfect...Tony left thinking *Well I’ll be a SOB!* After cleaning up Richies murder...literally! This is my very favorite episode & ending song, ever. Thank You.
Watching the Sopranos again.on Amazon Prime. The first two seasons were the best. Saw this one last night and I agree the music and the end of this episode are perfect together!. After the Sopranos ,James Gandolfini , was kind of type cast in that sort of character but he was the best in that role he will be missed.
Probably my favorite episode. I will never forget seeing it for the first time...almost fell out of my chair when Janice came back with that gun and killed Richie. Loved Tony's face when he walked in and saw the prick dead on the floor.
Carmella was looking very compact and sexy with confidence glowing. IMO the bet ending in the series. I think it was the way she left Tony sitting on the couch and walked off exit left with the music playing, so cool.
The build up to climax and great falling action with great actors and the music along with editing…. she didn’t give a shit what Tony went through from the start. That’s how women can be, especially when pissed. She called to confirm and knew he was really at Janice house, but she had her mind made up, before she heard the story. She gave sympathy for a few seconds and went into boss bitch mode. 😂 Tony left like fuck…. 😢🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Anyone notice how much Annie Lennox is in this show? David Chase must be a huge fan. FYI fun fact Chase personally selected/approved every single song.
Tony does save the world , the both worlds he is intimately attached to . Atlas holding up the world his refuge his home is shattered by Carmela’s insistence that he must now hold his life together or face another tragedy yet unresolved moments after saving the world yet again.

Totally agree with every word of your message
It is genius.
Well said, can’t add anything to that comment
Agreed hands down ! Rest In Peace Mr Gandolfini !
Agreed. Totally

Why does this scene give me chills, can’t explain the sheer joy of sopranos, the greatest show of all time

The Wire was epic
@@thezeek2745 both are epic
My two favourite series of all time, nothing else comes close. They're totally different so I can't compare them.
I've rewatched most episodes and the entire Sopranos series at least 3 times, some episodes closer to 10 times.
The Wire? I watched it once, and every time I think about rewatching it I go watch a Sopranos episode instead (or Star Trek TNG).

This ending -- this episode -- is pure perfection.
One Of the greatest actors we will ever see. Still Missed. RIP James Gandolfini.
Him and Edie have given us some of the best acting scenes ever recorded on film.

Dude Ican so relate...now at age 60 the best two series ever are the ones you hit on....so darn good...I can't find anything even close now.
way better than Breaking Bad
most fucking amazing scene...and the song ("I saved the world"??) wow is just the perfect one for that particular episode...
This was my favorite closing of the series. They nailed it.
Excellent ending song
One of the best endings of the series
Perfect scene. The episode was perfectly built-up to arrive to this scene. I was blown away.
Reda Sounni couldnt agree more
It was playing in the background before when Janice and Richie had their party at Tony's house.. and then it picks up here with a completely different context. beautiful

Great song too.
He was simply exhausted.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the way Tony is just sitting there at the end. His face says everything - and the song is just PERFECTION. One of the best endings to an episode, ever. I often go back to watch the whole episode just for this ending alone.
I just started watching The Sopranos this year when I saw this scene I was literally speechless. Incredible scene.
Man i miss this show.. just love the whole atmosphere.. n great track by the Eurythmics to end it
This song always stuck with me. All these years later I didn't know it was Eurthymics 😊
Me neither 😂
I’ve discovered so much good music watching the Sopranos
The 80's baby! 😅❤
Another example of why the The Sopranos is the GOAT. Tony slumped on the couch, hasn't slept, showered or shaved, and the perfect music. Hell, ALL the music still amazes me.
Thumbs up if it's 2021 and your're still watching this specific episode ending over and over again
2023
@@ericcartman9042 let’s gooo
more like 2023
2024
Even the songs demonstrates how well Sopranos was made. This and the ending in Jackie Sr funeral episode on S1 are the best in all the series.
I had been watching The Sopranos up until this point - but this ending, this music, made me realise it was special...goosebumps.
That ending still gives me the chills. so so good.
Brilliant scene and what a great choice for the closing music.
Damn, this scene really makes me miss that man. I’ll rewatch this series until the day I die.
Im on my 6th go through of the Sopranos series and season 2 always sticks out to me as arguably the best of them all. The music, the drama, that prick Richie Aprile, made for some of the best television ever produced.
I'm on my 4th go round! Never get tired of this show
You forgot about all that charcoal-broiled meat those people ate.
I can’t stop watching it on repeat lol
Stop giving me those Manson Lamps!
I think I’ve watched it 8, maybe 9 times. I get lost in it.
LOLOL...Tony's expression...he is for once, speechless....
what an episode epic, the greatest show of all time hands down
My top 5 uses of music in the show. Evidently chickentown, the moby one, I’m not like everybody else, I’m the captain, and this
Absolutely. I just re watched this and the song really stuck out to me
James Gandolfini, so sad that we lost you. You were a charismatic and talented actor and we still miss you.
and i think im the only here this days ahaha

@@asad2918 me to the same
I watch sopranos before some months and it's by far my favorite show !! tony soprano always a legendary character!
Sopranos-the greatest show ever. This scene absolutely captures the tension of the whole series.
Saw this episode for the first time last night, it's my favorite so far. I love this end scene with the music, just awesome. Wish he was still alive, great actor, loved his performance in True Romance in the hotel scene looking for the cocaine, he was a monster.
You ever watch the entire series?
All of the songs in the endings of each Sopranos episodes are the best and genius!
The way the strings swell in as Tony contemplates the past few days. So powerful
This episode is one of the greatest hours of television ever made.
Show truly was a masterclass. This ending and the song really makes you feel the despair of Tony. The duality of his life just doesn't allow him to be the guy he wants to be, and this ending really makes you feel how lost Tony constantly is.
The way Tony closes his mouth with acceptance is reason #29445 why The Sopranos is the greatest show of all time.
I love that song in the end of the episode. Just look at Tony s face. 😢
This episode always sticks out in my mind.
Carm's eyeroll is some of the best acting ever! The scary thing about the actors is that they often dont remember the scenes the same way the fans do. Apparently many of the actors have never seen all of the episodes.

That was the scene that hooked me on the show!
I love this version best. He just can't seem to enjoy life even after saving the day.
The best episode ever of this great series. This song at the end only made it that much better.
Greatest drama of all time. The likes of Breaking Bad, although good, don't come close.

What about Better Call Saul Season 6 Episode 8?
@@nuclearfusion4855 great ending no doubt but I still think this one edges it out.
I can. However all of them are from The Sopranos hehe.
I miss this show, and James Gandolfini was the best.., also this song is something else :0)
That look Tony gives right before the credits roll is perfect
I LOVE this song and TONY! Great ACTOR! R.I.P. Tony.

The very first part of that song…”Monday finds you like a bomb
That's been left ticking there too long.
You're bleeding…”
OMG
one of my favorites...after what happens . bad but so real.love it
I used to fast forward through Tony’s sessions with Melfi, but that was a mistake, because I don’t think we can understand TS without her insights and his sharing despite the fact that he was often lying to her.
My favorite episode & definitely my favorite scene…and song! It’s perfect.😎
Best ending on the show. Perfect music.
bought the song because of this scene.
+eastlake93 not because it's a great song?
allwrighty100 This scene is how I discovered this song. I would've still bought the song.
Had to come & watch this amazing scene again after the awful news. RIP James. Never forgotten.
One of the best scenes in the Sopranos
Miss you James and this.!!
For some reason this scene has been stuck in my head. It just struck a cord with me
thanks for the upload!
Carmela's closing line is the most brutal moment of this episode...and this is the episode in which Janice 'does away with' Richie Aprile.
That song should have been a smash hit
“now that’s a hit”
@@builtdifferent244no shit right
Absolutely amazing
He is the mob, the killer, but after clean up the mess, was the only one apparently shocked and maybe tired of that situation. Powerful ending.
May you rest in peace .. the best of all times :))

Best ending to an episode of tv-series ever. Period.

Unforgettable, like so many Sopranos endings, this will stick with so many of us
That subtle eye twitch at 0:44 so awesome

Que gran cierre del capítulo
excellent ending
😓 RIP
SIMPLY .. EPIC
A very beautiful ending ❤❤
Awesome show! Tony's like "WTF". Lol
I just wanna say i love all of you thank thee all mighty jesus christ wow heres proof theeizzz wonz 4 awe!!!
The Sopranos knows how to end an episode.
RIP Jim
The build up to climax and great falling action with great actors and the music along with editing….
she didn’t give a shit what Tony went through from the start. That’s how women can be, especially when pissed.
She called to confirm and knew he was really at Janice house, but she had her mind made up, before she heard the story.
She gave sympathy for a few seconds and went into boss bitch mode. 😂

It should be: "I saved the world from Richie Aprile today"
RIP
Great sarcastic song as the depressing ending.
Anyone notice how much Annie Lennox is in this show? David Chase must be a huge fan. FYI fun fact Chase personally selected/approved every single song.
I really miss him he was becoming a great actor I think he wouldn't win like Oscar man
