I only have a broad idea of what The Sopranos might be
about (a comic
drama about family of thugs and gangsters?)
No, dark rather than comic. I gave up on it, since the conceit was really
Godfather-style gang boss in modern New Jersey, sees shrink but every now
and then whacks people anyway. Violent and coarse, and I thought amoral
(which is not the general opinion).
and I have a vague idea that
Sex in the City might have been some kind of heterosexual equivalent of
Queer as Folk.
Recreational sex , shallow successful women in New York, very uninhibited
chat when everyone gets together for brunch (even less of this to convince
it's not for me),
Would it be fair to say they're more likely to be
fans of The Office than
The Archers, or is that completely off your point?
Yes, in the sense that 'edgy' is taken to be good.
