Tony Soprano juggles the problems of his fractious family with those of a "Family" of a different sort - the mob. He sees a therapist to deal with his professional and personal problems, which bring on panic attacks. He deals with personal and professional power struggles, affairs, violence, the threat of exposure and betrayal, and a whole bunch of people being whacked.

... there isn't is a compelling reason to spend any more time among wiseguys with a chemical dependency on olive oil, roadkill, and Frank Sinatra. Go to Full Review William Thomas Empire Magazine 10/18/2017
5/5
A not-unintentional legacy of The Sopranos' refusal to signpost is a sense of dread that never once lifts. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 08/18/2014
Worthy of most accolades showered upon it (which is saying something), the long layoff between seasons hasn't dimmed the show's status as one of TV's gems - a family drama like no other, imitated but unlikely to be equaled. Go to Full Review Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio 10/22/2021

Buscemi is a breath of fresh air. In season 5 Sopranos is no longer about family, and the fall of the mafia becomes threatening. This story is an absolute tragedy. Masterpiece. Go to Full Review Guillem Martinez Oya Cinematismo 11/26/2019

Igor S Jan 7 A true classic. To say more, would be wasting the time you could be spending watching it. See more Izzy H @Izzy215 Oct 11 One of the consistently great tv shows ever. Excited for the final season but also don’t want it to end! See more Thomas Alonzo C 09/29/2024 10 de 10 obra maestra See more Priyan B @Priyan 06/20/2024 Best season of the series See more Regal R 03/11/2024 85/100 - season 5 actually picks up compared to season 4. im glad to see a show get better rather than fall off, which is hard to do with shows that last for more than a few seasons. the introduction and development of some new characters definitely helps drive the story. well written. See more Markus S 02/15/2024 Only the best TV series keep getting better and better, and when I watched all 13 episodes from this 5th season, I finally started to think "I'm gonna truly miss this TV show"...
