Tony Soprano runs a New Jersey mob crew and a suburban household; after a panic attack he can't explain, he starts seeing a psychiatrist, Dr. Melfi, while his mother, wife and kids pull at him.
Starring James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, Michael Imperioli
Crime fans who care more about who sits at the dinner table than who gets hit will feel at home. James Gandolfini plays the therapy scenes with his face, sliding from threat to near tears inside one shot. The ducks that visit his backyard pool bring on the first panic attack, and the show treats it as a joke and a wound at once.
Many episodes give as much time to therapy sessions and family dinners as to mob business.
