final season craftily builds to its anticipated climax with more of the dark humor and heartfelt characterizations that made it one of television 's strongest series . " The second half of the season has an 83 % approval rating with an average score of 7.75 / 10 based on 30 reviews with the following critical consensus : " America 's first crime family bows out in a chilling cut to black during a meditative final season that is debatably cruel to audience expectations but wholly committed to its thematic integrity . " In '' Time Out New York '' , Andrew Johnston placed '' The Sopranos '' at the top of his list of the best TV of 2007 , stating : " Even before the final episode aired , the last half-season of David Chase 's Garden State gangland saga embodied everything that was great about '' The Sopranos '' . Then came the Chase-directed ' Made in America , ' which miraculously restored Journey 's street cred and created the kind of zeitgeist moment that was n't supposed to be possible anymore in a fragmented , 600-channel cable universe . Lots of TV dramas are compared to novels these days , but few others ( maybe only '' The Wire '' ) have achieved the scope and substance of literary fiction while painting between the lines of small-screen convention .
