Failure of the Sopranos to displace the Godfather in cultural preeminence is another "Boomers holding onto power" story.

Not sure it has anything to do with that. The Godfather is an objectively good movie made by a director and actors maybe at the height of their creative powers. Sopranos is a great TV show but TV has gotten better since

Rewatch the first few episodes of Sopranos. Borders on cringy. It’s towards the top of my list, but from the technical perspective of making television, it might as well be LA Law There have been much worse shows since that look much better. Few movies look as good as Godfather

agree it's a problem with long series that they flag. that;'s an argument that the Sopranos should have ended sooner, not a knock on the series in its prime

I’m not knocking the series. But purely from the perspective of craft, TV has gotten objectively more capable. There are much better shows to look at, even if the content of most of those shows is worse. Can’t say that with The Godfather
