I don't think the Sopranos has aged well in a short period of time. Not so much the technology (like The Wire), but that the way it was done seems a little hokey or silly now. But, I think it was one of the first premium series that created a big wave and buzz and blazed a bigger trail for the other ones that have followed. I've tried rewatching it and I can't get through it though.
To me I feel like if I can't rewatch it now - it can't be that great. Hill Street Blues is a prime example of that IMO - I tried to start over from the beginning last summer and bailed after 2-3 episodes. Not compelling to me at all.
Feel the same about the Sopranos.
Have watched The Wire front to back maybe 5 times. West Wing 3x. Banshee 3x. Lost 2x.
