Sopranos pilot

I think I'd like it. It's less grand than I expected, more domestic. Tony's voice is more nasally, less gruff. The tone is lighter. All of this points to a brisk and unaffecting experience. Course it's only one episode, but I don't want to trudge through anything lightweight, I want every episode of TV I watch to be moving, and the pilot should hint at the heavier stuff if there is any. The pilot should tease the spirit of the series, and the tease is too gentle to compel me hence. With TV I need big compulsion, especially when a series has so many seasons.
