Project Sopranos

Hello, and welcome to another of my projects.

Hot on the heels of my exceedingly popular Project Bond circa six years ago, I thought it was high time for a new project. This one is about the 20-plus-year-old Home Box Office original series The Sopranos, which I recently had the pleasure of rewatching. This was in large part due to it being very good indeed.

Now, to be clear, I’m quite aware that this is far from an original point. Many people far cleverer than me have enjoyed the series, and I expect will do so again. Those people have written far cleverer, far more insightful, and far more informed pieces about the series than I could ever hope to. That’s why I’ve chosen to play to my strengths, such as they are.

Starting tomorrow, I will post a daily limerick based on an episode of the 20-plus-year-old Home Box Office original series The Sopranos. I will post them in chronological order, and the title of each will be the same as the title of the relevant episode, so as not to cause any confusion. However, I must warn you that I have not in every case managed to capture the full nuance of the episode in my five-line poem, so reading them will be no substitute for watching (or rewatching) the series. I hope you will enjoy them, but if not, there is no need to tell me so.

Finally, you probably surmised as much, but I nevertheless feel compelled to warn readers – these limericks will contain spoilers for the 20-plus-year-old Home Box Office original series The Sopranos.
