Yeah, like you, I found the Sopranos pilot very different tonally from the rest of the show upon rewatching. Possibly the best opening shot in the history of TV though. Rivaled only by LOST in that regard.

Speaking of which, my vote would be either LOST or Breaking Bad.

Whenever someone says Breaking Bad S1 is slow I can't help but instantly think they're insane. Widespread sentiment on Reddit.

The pilot is an absolute balls to the walls rollercoaster.

Yeah that's crazy!

Come to think of it, Breaking Bad has one of the great opening shots in TV history too.

Yes both great pilots. Need to give Lost a long overdue rewatch.

Yeah I recently completed a LOST rewatch and was surprised how well it held up. Highly recommended.
