The Sopranos
The Sopranos
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.

Catch up:

Series Five featured Tony's cousin, Tony Blundetto (played be Steve Buscemi who directed the season three episode 'Pine Barrens') who wants to go straight but doesn't quite make it, provoking a climactic stand-off between Tony and New York boss Johnny Sack.

Estranged couple Tony and Carmela work toward a reconciliation while the Feds lean harder on an increasingly stressed-out and distraught Adriana.

The Sopranos returns for its sixth season.

Tony Soprano faces new challenges as his life grows increasingly more complicated. He faces the reality that his kids are no longer children, but not yet grown. With Johnny Sack in prison, the always-tense relations between the New Jersey and New York families are strained even further.

Guest stars include Jerry Adler from In Her Shoes, Four Seasons lead singer Frankie Valli, Ben Kingsley, Julianna Margulies from ER, and Elizabeth Bracco from Analyze This.
