Why people still can't stop talking about the controversial ending of 'The Sopranos'
Will Hart / HBO
Ten years ago this month - June 10, 2007, to be exact - the mobster HBO series "The Sopranos" came to a very abrupt end in its finale episode, "Made in America."
Seemingly everyone has a story about the first time they saw the screen go black. Maybe you watched it live, and you were one of the millions who angrily thought their power went out, that someone unplugged the TV, or that someone forgot to pay the cable bill.
I didn't watch "The Sopranos" until several years after the finale aired, so I knew about the screen going black. And though I knew it was going to happen, I still thought there was something wrong with my power. I screamed at my TV for 10 seconds, undoubtedly disturbing my roommates and neighbors.
I knew it was coming, but didn't realize it was that abrupt until I saw it with my own eyes. I still don't know what happened to Tony, and neither do most people. After a whole decade, it's still one of the biggest debates in TV history.
Here's why the series finale of "The Sopranos" still resonates after 10 years:
