A black and white photo of David Chase on the poster for WISE GUY David Chase and the Sopranos.
It's hard to believe it, but it's been twenty-five years since The Sopranos debuted in 1999 on HBO. For six seasons, millions of fans spent their Sunday nights with Tony Soprano and company before going to work the next day to discuss the shocking episode they'd just witnessed the night. David Chase is the creator of The Sopranos and was the showrunner for its entirety.
'Wise Guy' Centers on David Chase Most of All Wise Guy has a rather clever setting, with Alex Gibney sitting across from David Chase on a set made up to look exactly like Dr. Melfi's office from The Sopranos. That's not just a cute reference but also meaningful, as a vast majority of the docuseries is about Gibney speaking with Chase in personal moments that feel almost like a therapy session.
The actors from The Sopranos get a lot of time to speak, but what's refreshing is how much time is also given to the writers and the producers. We get to see the writing room and learn about how episodes were built from nothing. Archival footage is shown of Chase sitting with writers at a table trying to figure their way through The Sopranos.
