"That Bothered Me": Why The Sopranos Creator Was Annoyed By The Reception To The Finale

The Sopranos is widely regarded as one of the greatest TV shows of all time, but its finale was quite divisive, and the strong reactions to it annoyed the show’s creator. In 1999, HBO became the home to the crime drama The Sopranos, created by David Chase. The Sopranos was a big hit with critics and general audiences, and received a lot of praise from beginning to end, becoming one of the most influential TV shows of all time.
