I am bored and unwell this evening, so let us kick back and rate ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฌ ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐๐๐ฌ!
I spent the past week watching all 86 episodes. I've ran these picks past David Chase and he broadly agrees with them - so fair play to him.

| ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ด๐ฒ (season 1, episode 5, 1999)This is arguable the defining episode of the whole series! Tony takes Meadow on a tour of potential colleges and stumbles upon an FBI informant, which leads to an astonishing game of cat and mouse.
| ๐๐๐น๐น ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ (season 2, episode 8, 2000)The Sopranos isn't just the greatest drama of all time, it's also an incredible comedy. The black-hearted Richie Aprile gifting Tony a horrible leather jacket is uproariously funny.
| ๐ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ข๐ป๐น๐ (season 6, episode 1, 2006)The world-class episode opens the final season and details Eugene Pontecorvo's doomed attempts to leave the family. The use of Seven Souls in the opening montage is top-tier stuff too!
| ๐ฆ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ (season 6, episode 13, 2007)Tony and Carmela visit Janice and Bobby's holiday home to celebrate the boss' birthday. It features some of the most touching scenes in the series (plus a demented game of Monopoly).
| ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ด ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฟ๐บ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด (episode 5, episode 12, 2004)There is zero doubt the conclusion of this episode is the most shocking moment of the series. When Silvio's car pulls off the road and into the woods, your heart stops beating.
| ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ (season 3, episode 11, 2001)Who would ever have imagined an argument over a universal remote control with an interior decorator who killed 16 Czechoslovakians could lead to such a daft caper?
"His house looked like shit!"
| ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐น๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ (season 6, episode 20, 2007)The penultimate episode sees Phil Leotardo's plan to take out the New Jersey family put into motion. The action is astonishing throughout and the death of Bobby Baccalieri tremendously done.
| ๐ช๐ต๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ (season 4, episode 13, 2002)James Gandolfini and Edie Falco had incredible chemistry, none more so than on this episode. The scene where Carmela reveals her infatuation with Furio features acting of the highest calibre.
| ๐จ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ (season 3, episode 6, 2001)The story of Tracee, Ralphie Cifaretto's girlfriend, is the most harrowing of the series. As it reaches its climax the sense of dread and horror is unpalatable, but it's impeccably written and acted.
| ๐๐๐ป๐ต๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ (season 2, episode 13, 2000)The most sublime hour in the history of television. There are so many wonderful moments throughout but the closing montage, soundtracked by an incredible Rolling Stones song, is just so, so good.
