When the show took sharp turn

I watched every Sopranos season many times and have first 4 seasons on DVD. And I think for the first 3 seasons The Sopranos was just a very good quality, straight up mafia series and it was interesting, honest and pretty much straightforward show. But then it all changed with the season 4 and all the weirdness, dreams, meanings and all that bullshit began. I'm not saying a hate 4th season like many do, I actually liked it a lot.
But show took a massive turn and started with more complicated, deep, weird and creepy approach ever since, giving you a lot of food for thought instead of just being intriguing and entertaining. Esecially you can see it in season 5 when it all took in full effect IMHO. When I first seen DVD boxset cover for season 5, I couldn't belive my eyes that they went with that creepy picture and without even seeing the season I knew something was wrong right then. Again I'm not saying it's bad that show changed so much all of the sudden, but it's kinda weird that it went from straight up to unusually complicated, mystical approach for this kind of show. And I keep wondering what made them to do that? What's your thoughts?

I dont know what to tell you. They went for depth... tbh the show didnt change, it was always like that Chase just exposed it a bit more. In fact it illustrates what the show is actually about. which is the way we respond to the challenges life throws at us... and why we respond in those ways

Well, "Isabella" was season 1, so it always had that element somewhat, imo.

Isabella was very easy on the eyes. Too bad she never really existed. I wonder if her ass was the 2nd coming Pussy was talking about. Either way,.. at least Carmella didn't cut Tony's dick off... lol
