I've seen some bad prequels, Godfather II, Jaws The Revenge, etc., but I have to say that after watching The Sopranos so many times to count, this is by far the worst prequel ever. I'm about sure that if I hadn't been so excited about watching it because of what I was accustomed to, I'm could honestly say that it sucked all by itself.
Please don't waste your time or money.
