The Sopranos - Season 5
Season 5 of The Sopranos takes a darkly humorous look at the members of a New Jersey crime family, whose boss has been recently separated from his wife and continues to turn to a psychiatrist for therapy and he hopes perhaps something more. Tony tries to show Dr. Melfi his other side, but is rebuffed, Carmela and A.J. experience wildlife in their yard. Christopher and Paulie have a brief falling out when the 'Pine Barrens incident' is re-mentioned. A possible power struggle within the New York Mafia arises.

No, The Sopranos isn't the constant shock-of-the-new it once was; even its moments of abrupt, crazy violence are easily spotted. But there are still many scenes that are touching and devastatingly sincere.

It was as rich an hour as fans could expect.

For viewers, the good news is that this new story allows for an unusually strong influx of new Sopranos characters.

Although The Sopranos is arguably television's finest series -- and consistently works critics into a frothy, adjective-filled lather -- it is also complexly unpredictable and strangely misunderstood.

What makes The Sopranos an oasis in today's climate of declining entertainment standards from reality TV to theatrical features is that Chase's drama has never been tempted by complacency.

Overall, there were a focus and a consistency to this season that we haven't seen since the first year.

Like any good soap opera, the series thrives on the pulsating polyrhythms of its multiple storylines.

Season five of The Sopranos just might be my favorite. It combines the terrific character explorations of seasons two and four with the more thoroughly plotted arcs of seasons one and three.

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.

There's Sopranos black comedy at its best.
