The Sopranos is an American television drama series created by David
Chase and originally broadcast on the HBO network. The show revolves
around New Jersey mafia boss Tony Soprano and the difficulties he faces
as he tries to balance the often conflicting requirements of his home
life and the criminal organization he heads. The series stars, among
others, James Gandolfini, Lorraine Bracco, Edie Falco and Michael
Imperioli.
The Sopranos initially aired on HBO from January 10, 1999 to June 10,
2007, spanning six seasons and 86 episodes. The show has also aired in
dozens of other countries.
A major critical and commercial success, the series is widely regarded
as one of the greatest shows in television history[1] and is often
credited for bringing a greater level of artistry to the medium and
paving the way for many successful drama series that followed. The show
has won numerous awards, including eighteen Emmys and five Golden
Globes and has been the subject of much parody and analysis.
Due to its popularity, The Sopranos has spawned video games, books,
high-charting soundtrack albums[2][3] and a large amount of assorted
merchandise.
Anthony "Tony" Soprano (James Gandolfini) is the boss of the DiMeo
crime family and patriarch of the Soprano household. He is troubled
with personal and professional problems and sees a therapist for his
panic attacks. His therapist is Dr. Jennifer Melfi, (Lorraine Bracco),
also an Italian-American. Dr. Melfi struggles to maintain her ethical
and professional position despite being endangered and threatened by
Tony and his criminal lifestyle.
Tony's immediate family consists of his wife Carmela Soprano (Edie
Falco), daughter Meadow Mariangela Soprano (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) and son
Anthony "A.J." Soprano, Jr. (Robert Iler). Carmela is a proud mother
and devoted wife who struggles to accept her husband's criminal
activity and infidelity as well as her own financial insecurity. She
maintains a social network with other Mafia wives and widows. A.J. is
initially a typical adolescent and struggles with an unconfirmed
diagnosis of ADHD and teenage rebellion. Meadow is a gifted student who
rationalizes her father's business and grows up hoping to pursue a
career in medicine. In the last season Meadow changes her mind about
medical school, and talks about going into law.
Tony's extended family includes his mother Livia Soprano (Nancy
Marchand), sisters Janice Soprano (Aida Turturro) and Barbara Soprano
Giglione (Nicole Burdette), uncle Corrado "Junior" Soprano (Dominic
Chianese), cousin Tony Blundetto (Steve Buscemi) and nephew Christopher
Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli). Livia is a shrewd manipulator and has
emotional problems of her own. Livia is incapable of showing love or
compassion of any kind. She cleverly transfers contempt for herself and
others onto those who interact with her, creating substantial personal
and professional complications for Tony. Junior, who frequently spends
time with Livia, has seniority over Tony in their criminal empire and
strives to maintain power. The dominance struggle between these two
unbendable figures, coupled with Livia's manipulative influence over
Junior, lead to a fudged assassination attempt on Tony in the first
season. As a result, the relationship between Tony and his uncle Junior
is strained throughout the series. Janice, who has had a child in
Quebec, ran off to Seattle at a young age, but returns to New Jersey
decades later and gets into disruptive relationships with some of
Tony's colleagues. Barbara has moved away to start her own family.
Blundetto grew up with Tony, but was convicted of armed robbery in
their youth. He is finally released from prison in season five of the
show. Christopher is Carmela's second cousin, but Tony considers him
his nephew and protege in the crime family, helping him rise through
the ranks.
Tony's close circle within the DiMeo crime family includes Silvio "Sil"
Dante (Steven Van Zandt), Peter Paul "Paulie Walnuts" Gualtieri (Tony
Sirico) and Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero (Vincent Pastore). Sil is
Tony's consigliere and best friend, Paulie and Big Pussy are longtime
soldiers who have worked with Tony and his father. Also in Tony's
family are Patsy Parisi (Dan Grimaldi) , Furio Giunta (Federico
Castelluccio) and Carlo Gervasi (Arthur J. Nascarella). Patsy is
another aging soldier with a talent for book-keeping. Furio is imported
muscle from an associated Italian crime family and Carlo is an 'Old
School' soldier who took over a crew.
Other significant characters in the DiMeo family include Bobby "Bacala"
Baccalieri (Steven R. Schirripa), Richie Aprile (David Proval), Ralph
Cifaretto (Joe Pantoliano), Eugene Pontecorvo (Robert Funaro) and Vito
Spatafore (Joseph R. Gannascoli). Bobby is a subordinate of Junior's
whom Tony often bullies. Bobby later marries Janice. Cifaretto is
ambitious, but he is a top earner who often makes life difficult for
Tony. Richie Aprile is released from prison in season two and
immediately becomes an adversary for Tony. Pontecorvo is a young
soldier who becomes a made man alongside Christopher. Spatafore works
his way up through the ranks as his superiors die, but has a secret
that is not revealed until season five.
Friends of the Soprano family include Herman "Hesh" Rabkin (Jerry
Adler), Adriana La Cerva (Drea de Matteo), Rosalie Aprile (Sharon
Angela), Angie Bonpensiero (Toni Kalem), Artie Bucco (John Ventimiglia)
and Charmaine Bucco (Kathrine Narducci). Hesh is an adviser and friend
to Tony, and served in this role under Tony's father John Francis
"Johnny Boy" Soprano. Adriana is Christopher's long time girlfriend;
the two have a tempestuous relationship. Rosalie is a close friend of
Carmela's, not to mention the widow of the former boss of the family,
Jackie Aprile, who stays tied to the organization. Angie is Salvatore
Bonpensiero's wife who later goes into business for herself. Artie and
Charmaine are school friends of the Sopranos and owners of the popular
restaurant Vesuvio.
John "Johnny Sack" Sacrimoni (Vince Curatola), Phil Leotardo (Frank
Vincent) and "Little" Carmine Lupertazzi, Jr. (Ray Abruzzo) are all
significant characters from the New York based Lupertazzi crime family,
which shares much of its business with the Soprano organization.
Although the Lupertazzis' and DiMeos' interests are often at odds, Tony
maintains a cordial business-like relationship with Johnny Sack,
preferring to make deals that benefit both families. Phil Leotardo,
however, is more difficult to deal with, ambitious and not hesitant to
use or order violence against Tony's crew.
