Wise Guy uses interesting parallelism to place its creator, David Chase, in the shoes of Tony Soprano, played by the late James Gandolfini. The approach is warranted, as it turns out since the series is largely based on David Chase’s own complex relationship with his mother. As a film and TV enthusiast, and Sopranos superfan, this limited series hits the bullseye as it reveals how the show came to be, a behind-the-scenes look at its production, and finishes with a clever look at the series’ ever-controversial ending. It’s a must-watch for anyone sold on The Sopranos’ greatness.
