The 10 best episodes of The Sopranos, ranked
The cast of The Sopranos.

This week marks the 25th anniversary of The Sopranos, one of the all-time great dramas that helped put HBO on the map with its original series. There were HBO shows before The Sopranos, but this is the one that was a breakout hit, and it increased HBO's prestige and standing in the industry. Series creator David Chase had made his name in network television, but no other shows like The Sopranos existed. It was R-rated television in an era before that was a common occurrence.

The Sopranos also made its leading man, the late James Gandolfini, a star for his performance as Tony Soprano, a family man and mob boss who is forced into therapy when his anxiety completely overwhelms him. That set off a six-season run that firmly established The Sopranos' place in TV history. In honor of the show's 25th anniversary, we're sharing our picks for the 10 best episodes of The Sopranos.

Nearly 30 years after its premiere and 20 after it ended, Friends remains among the most beloved and celebrated sitcoms ever. The show, starring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt Le Blanc, David Schwimmer, and the late Matthew Perry, followed the romantic and professional lives of six twentysomething friends in New York City. The show was a ratings and critical juggernaut, attracting high viewership and receiving the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2002.

Although its reputation remains unmatched, not every episode of Friends is as popular; after all, with 236 episodes, it's logical that some might get lost in the process. These episodes are among the show's most underrated. Whether because of their safe plots, lack of memorable jokes, or proximity to flashier, more iconic episodes, these chapters are underappreciated by fans. However, they are no less worthy of praise, as they are still solid entries in the show's canon.

While massively popular episodes like All the Bells Say and Connor's Wedding have been talked about endlessly by fans and critics alike, there's no shortage of underrated Succession episodes that deserve more attention. These often overlooked storylines may not be as exciting or eventful as other episodes in the series, but they provide important moments of character development, reveal small but critical details, and are crucial to the overall narrative of the show.
