A Moderate, Honest Take
I enjoyed The Many Saints Of Newark. I didn't love it because I thought some references were heavy handed, some scenes were weirdly wedged in, and agree it could've been stretched into a miniseries. But I enjoyed going back to that universe and filling in pieces of a great show pic.twitter.com/n8Xyi7MhMQ

Ouch
Oh, I finally get it. The Many Saints of Newark was a screenplay written by Christopher Moltisanti’s character.

Better TV Than Movie?
The Many Saints of Newark should have been a mini series
