Excellent show. Awful role models, profuse cursing, nudity, simulated intercourse, frequent displays of high end items ($15,000 Patek watches, Harry Winston diamond earings and necklaces). Virtually every character curses- including the FBI, Kids, and Doctors. The mobsters commit murders as if life has no value. The mobsters show no remorse and the show portrays them as the heros. There are numerous bar scenes, heroin, meth, crack, cigars, and cigarettes. There is domestic abuse, graphic decapitation, people burned alive, smothering elderly women, brutal beatings (often accompanied by laughing and cheering), strangling (shown close up), prostitute killings, castration (implied), a head gets run over by a idling car with children in the backseat, and countless shootings (literally countless, at least one per episode). There are also many illegal gambling scenes, prostitution, and robbery. The show sends the message that it is cool to be a mobster. This show can impact a child or even some adults in a very negative way.

i'm a sucker for mafia-related paraphernalia. that said, this show is definitely one of the most intense & crazy tv shows i've ever seen. i can only say that i've seen it on A&E (edited), but even then, they show you enough to give you a little bit of a taste for the uncut version. NOT FOR THE KIDDIES. not even for teens, in my opinion. tons of violence, naked people & f-words flying off the pan. do yourselves a favor & keep this show for late-night watching when the kids are in bed. with your door locked. if the kids walked in on this, i can guarantee it'll be as awkward as the "mommy, where do babies come from?" conversation.

this show is very good although there is harsh language and brutal violents it is amazing and u will be a fan very quickly i recommend this for ages 11 or 12 and up

This is a great show i love the story of Tony and his family. I'd give it a 10 out of 10. I'd recommend it for Mauture Audiance Only because of Language, violence and sexual content.

This TV show is one of my favorite shows ever made. I don't think this show is that bad, nothing is actually graphic, the only thing that jumps people is the swearing. You can find most HBO shows on this website and if you scroll down on that page, then you will see 5 circles line up on columns meaning how much of that category applies in the thing you searched on. On the "Language" category, most HBO television series have 4 circles or more on each show, but it's just some words, it's not like anyone is gonna hurt someone. More about this show is guns play a big role. There is a lot of shooting, beating, killings, and somewhere in between season 1, Tony Soprano strangles and kills someone (I can't remember the guy's name but he was rare to the show.) This show came out on HBO when I was 7 years old so my parents convinced to order HBO. I never thought anything was graphic at all. Language big thing and one more thing if you ever find this show again watch it uncut so buy the DVDs. I wrote this on 12-24-11 so it is not on HBO anymore. I think it is very awkward to watch it on a different channel because they replace every bad word with something that gets awkward after a while. I don't think you can ever picture Tony Soprano not swearing. Great show buy on Amazon and, Enjoy!
