Even more so than El Camino, which at least wrapped up a couple of things that weren't addressed in the finale of Breaking Bad (or, much later, the finale of Better Call Saul).
I mean... it's an okay watch, but it doesn't add anything to The Sopranos or even really relate to the TV show given its set so far before it started.
I guess maybe the creator wanted to spend some time with some of the sidecast in their prime? HBO were stealth piloting for a Young Tony series?
No idea. Sadly forgettable and kind of tarnishes the Sopranos just by its existence.
If they weren't going to add any new perspective, they could have had a rad heist or something to underpin it, instead you got a boring 2.5 hour character piece with a shitty "gang war" to add the spice.
