Well, I've watched both shows many times, and to me The Sopranos is the overall superior show. Someone earlier said about The Wire being more realistic than the Sopranos. That whole serial killer plot was ass. Both shows were amazing tho, both had STRONG writing and interesting characters. I do notice tho that most niggas do prefer the shows or movie that's more "hood", or has more action in it. Dope, gang murder, money and hood Shit? You know niggas eating that up. And the racial aspect, both shows had their fair share of it. It is well known that most mafia members don't care for anyone outside of their race, and we know how niggas are.
But, like I said, both are excellent.
