Editorial Review:

Unlike the previous three, this fourth series of The Sopranos largely eschews an overriding story arc in favour of developing several interrelated plot strands, most of which are then left dangling tantalisingly at the end. This year Tony's many extra-marital affairs finally come home to roost, even as he faces challenges to his leadership from within and without. Paulie Walnuts simmers with resentment over his perceived neglect, a resentment only exacerbated by Christopher's promotion; while Christopher's growing drug habit undermines Tony's trust in him. Paulie makes overtures to Johnny Sack and the New York family; Sack himself bears a deadly grudge against Ralph Cifaretto, and also embroils Tony in a dispute between the two families. Ralph and Tony clash over a shared interest in both a race horse and a goomar--you just know it's going to end in something much worse than tears.

The women have as many problems, though: Adriana has reluctantly turned FBI informer, a drug-addled Christopher squashes her dog, and she has to confess that she can't have children; Carmela falls maddeningly, frustratingly in love with one of Tony's closest companions; Janice inveigles herself into Bobby's affections in a display of breathtaking emotional manipulation; while Meadow can no longer conceal the disgust she feels about her father's business, and Dr Melfi is increasingly sidelined, since Tony's behavioural issues have become, to all practical purposes, untreatable. The whole ends on a downbeat note as personal disillusionment overshadows the mob politics. With the imminent arrival of Steve Buscemi to the cast, the fifth series is primed to be an explosive one. --Mark Walker

• It all starts to go wrong for Tony. Yes, even worse!
  Here come the weight. Shame! Goodbye beauty. Tony still looks good in a tailored suit though, what man doesn't?
  What has Christopher's girlfiend got herself involved with?

• Classic Sopranos
  This is without doubt the best series however it recieved heavy criticism due to the level of violence depicted. However although the violence is graphic and often uncomfortable to watch it is crucial for the development of the characters. Furio in particular has a challenging moral dillema which keeps the viewer on a razors edge throughout!

• sopranos
  very poor quality the box was not glued together right , A good price though .

• you wont find better
  series 4 of this classic show treads new ground in brilliance,the three previous series reigned supreme but series four really takes the distinction of being the best series yet and thats some praise indeed,praise that you cant ignore.
  Of course if you are reading this and havent seen sopranos then you have to start at the beginning,series 4 can stand on its own but you need the previous three series as well just to make series 4 what it is.This series is pacey,direct,packed with memorable scenes and... more info
