The Sopranos
 |
Tony
Soprano tries to be a good family man on two fronts. First to his wife,
kids and widowed mother, and then as a capo in the New Jersey mob. The
pressures of work and family life gave him anxiety attacks so Tony starts
seeing a psychiatrist, which is not the kind of thing a guy in his position
should do, so he tries to keep it to himself. On the home front his
marriage is shaky, the birds he sheltered just left him, and his mother
needs a nursing home and refuses to go. In the other family it seems
that no one listens to him and the lifestyles they lead are filled with
sex, drugs , and violence. To name some examples. Uncle Junior wanted
to use Tony's childhood friend's restaurant to whack a guy named Pussy
Malenga, but Tony prevented the hit by blowing the place up. When a
Czech mob attempted to move in on the Sopranos' waste management business,
Tony's hot-headed nephew murdered their representative and dumped him
on Staten Island without the permission of the administration. To top
it all off, Tony is constantly haunted by the feeling that the glory
days of mob life are long gone, and he just might not measure up to
the titans of the past.
