- Season one, episode five: “College” Just five episodes into its first season, The Sopranos was already making a case for its position at the top of the TV pantheon.
- Season four, episode 13: “Whitecaps” An absolutely blistering hour of television anchored by two never-better performances from Gandolfini and Falco, “Whitecaps” sees the Sopranos’ marital problems come to a furious head.
- Season three, episode 11: “Pine Barrens” In recent years, The Sopranos – once touted as one of the darkest programmes around – has increasingly been heralded for its comic ingenuity, via a multitude of social media meme accounts.
- Season five, episode 13: “All Due Respect” Yet another one of the best season finales ever, the conclusion to season five is a consummate example of the show’s many strengths.
- I Dream Of Jeannie Cusamano (9.2) The Sopranos concluded its incredible, legendary, and enormously influential first season with I Dream of Jeannie Cusamano.
- Funhouse (9.4) Once again, the season finale proves the highest-rated episode of the bunch. Funhouse proved an even better season finale than I Dream of Jeannie Cusamano, both due to its experimental filmmaking and quality of drama.
- Pine Barrens (9.7) Pine Barrens is a different type of Sopranos episode - and one that is widely regarded as the series' best. Directed by Steve Buscemi, Pine Barrens is a largely comedic episode centered around the misadventures of Christopher and Paulie.
