This darkly humourous, highly-acclaimed series explores the moral and emotional minefield of a New Jersey Italian-American mob boss's life as the multiple responsibilities of family and 'Family' take their toll.
Managing a deadly criminal enterprise has taken its toll on anxiety-ridden 'waste management consultant' and Mafia boss, Tony Soprano. He's a loving husband and father, but trying to elude the FBI and avoid mob power struggles while coping with a shaky marriage to long-suffering wife Carmela and fatherhood to his sullen teenage son and rebellious daughter is enough to send anyone to the analyst's couch.
So, when the pressures reach dangerous levels, Tony reluctantly seeks the help of psychiatrist Dr Jennifer Melfi to reconcile the consequences of his life choices. But for a mob boss in a mid-life crisis, therapy can have serious consequences.
