Features: DVD
Several crises threaten Tony and his crew; for starters, rival boss Johnny Sack (Vince Curatola) is in prison, and the always-tense relations between the New Jersey and New York families are strained through the unpredictable behavior of Sacks surrogates. Then there are the inevitable power struggles that ensue when certain family members are eliminated, by natural and other causes. Format: HD DVD

Editor's Note
The personal and professional adventures of Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) continue in this sixth season of episodes. This time out, Tony faces heightened tension between the New York and New Jersey families, as Johnny Sack's (Vince Curatola) imprisonment causes innumerable problems. Christopher (Michael Imperioli), Paulie (Tony Sirico), and Silvio (Steve Van Zandt) still keep their eyes on the business end of Tony's life, while Anthony Jr. (Robert Iler) and Meadow (Jamie Lynn Sigler) learn some tough lessons as the offspring of a notorious mob boss. As always, the ever-reliable Dr. Melfi (Lorraine Bracco) is on hand to beat off Tony's advances and steady his nerves through her therapy sessions. A selection of episodes from the award winning show's sixth season are included here.

| | Professional Reviews | Total Film
5 stars out of 5 -- "It's adult, acerbic and incendiary. There's sex, death, rapture, torture and at least one scene in every episode which will have the most slumped of cynics barking out in pleasure/disbelief..." 12/01/2006 p.136Uncut
5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he measured pace is a mark of quality....Everything is finely poised..." 01/01/2007 p.144 Sight and Sound
"The characters may not always know where they are going, but this corrosively funny series never loses its grip." 01/01/2007 p.90 |
