The Many Saints of Newark #ad

 Disclaimer:  I was given products in this post for the purpose of review.  I was not paid to write this review 

In June of 2007 The Sopranos aired new episodes for the very last time.  No more Tony on a Sunday night.  Like many others there was suddenly this Sopranos shaped hole in my life.  I got lucky, several years later I was talking about the show with my hubby and discovered he never saw it!!  Which meant we of course had to go buy the whole series and watch them.  The downside.... that too eventually came to an end.  

But after many Sopranosless years I'm excited to announce that there is a prequel!  Yes you read that correctly.

SYNOPSIS 

 Young Anthony Soprano (Michael Gandolfini) is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in Newark’s history, becoming a man just as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family’s hold over the increasingly race-torn city. Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola), who struggles to manage both his professional and personal responsibilities—and whose influence over his nephew will help make the impressionable teenager into the all-powerful mob boss we’ll later come to know, Tony Soprano.

My review:

I loved it.  I'm not sure if you picked up who is playing young Tony, but that is James Gandolfini son!  I thought that was epic that the original actor's son played him in the prequel.  Like most prequels I was nervous.  I always expect not to like them, but that was not the case with The Many Saints of Newark.  This movie added an entire new element to The Sopranos and has me wanting to rewatch the series for a 3rd time.  I def. think any fans need to watch this movie.
