Featured review
Tie your shoes and have a bite of braciole
The FBI begin a deeper surveillance operation into Tony's life.
This is an entertaining way to set the scene for the third series.
Mr Ruggerio's Neighbourhood shows us Tony's life from the perspective of the FBI and does this in a quite humorous and entertaining way. I love how it portrays the relatable personalities of agents and the voyeurism that goes along with watching people.
The mix of Peter Gunn/Police is excellent and these sequences are brilliantly edited for a strong build up to the great punchline involving Tony's basement.
Appropriately, the ongoing Sopranos theme of the "regularness" of life comes out in the ironic scenes of boring conversation and mundane life captured by the implanted wire.
I enjoyed the banter between Tony's crew at the Bing, with James Gandolfini, Tony Serico, and Stephen Van Zandt on top form.
