The Sopranos
I Soprano
La famiglia Soprano, i cui avi italiani sono originari di Avellino, vanta importanti contatti con le cosche newyorkesi e mantiene relazioni affaristiche con la Camorra napoletana. Il boss è soggetto ad attacchi di panico che lo portano sul lettino di una psicoanalista, alla quale confida ben presto i suoi turbamenti legati alla famiglia, in particolare nel rapporto col terribile personaggio della madre Livia: i suoi guai però passano anche attraverso il complesso legame con la moglie Carmela (connivente ma estranea alle imprese criminali del marito), i figli adolescenti, lo zio (fratello del padre) che non lo considera come boss e lo contrasta in ogni modo. A questi problemi personali si aggiungono quelli "lavorativi", in cui Tony deve destreggiarsi fra l'FBI, traditori della sua stessa famiglia e boss in ascesa di famiglie rivali.

The pacing, the conflicts, the plot, everything felt pristine. I loved every bit of it. I do not know much about Italy, Italians, or the Mafia outside of things like The Godfather, but this felt like such a grounded and sometimes even hilarious take on what it would have been like to be in the Mafia in modern day America. And they did an incredible job showing that it really did exist in that way.
What made it even more special for me is that I am from New Jersey. The places they filmed are literally fifteen minutes from my house. Watching something so legendary that close to home just made it hit differently.
It was such a ride, and I even found myself relating to some of the characters, which says a lot about how well written they were.
The only thing that disappointed me was the ending. It felt abrupt, almost lazy. I wanted something more definitive. But even with that, the journey was unforgettable.
Overall, it was an amazing show and absolutely worth watching.
