Facing an indeterminate sentence of weeks/months/years until new episodes, fans of The Sopranos fans are advised to take the fifth; season, that is. At this point, superlatives don't do The Sopranos justice, but justice was at last served to this benchmark series. 
James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano in a not-so-nice mood | For the first time, The Sopranos rubbed out The West Wing to take home its first Emmy for Outstanding Dramatic Series. Michael Imperioli and Drea de Matteo also earned Best Supporting Actor and Actress honors for some of their finest hours as Christopher and Adriana. From the moment a wayward bear lumbers into the Sopranos' yard in the season opener, it is clear that The Sopranos is in anything but a "stagmire." The series benefits from an infusion of new blood, the so-called "Class of 2004," imprisoned "family" members freshly released from jail. Most notable among these is Tony's cousin, Tony Blundetto (Steve Buscemi, who directed the pivotal season three episode "Pine Barrens"), who initially wants to go straight, but proves himself to be something of a "free agent," setting up a climactic stand-off between Tony and New York boss Johnny Sack. 
Carmela and Tony | These 13 mostly riveting episodes unfold with a page-turning intensity with many rich subplots. Estranged couple Tony and Carmela (the incomparable James Gandolfini and Edie Falco) work toward a reconciliation (greased by Tony's purchase of a $600,000 piece of property for Carmela to develop). The Feds lean harder on an increasingly stressed-out and distraught Adriana to "snitch" with inevitable results. This season's hot-button episode is "The Test Dream," in which Tony is visited by some of the series' dear, and not-so-dearly, departed in a harrowing nightmare. With this set, fans can enjoy marathon viewings of an especially satisfying season, but considering the long wait ahead for season six, best to take Tony's advice to his son, who, at one point, gulps down a champagne toast. "Slow down," Tony says. "You're supposed to savor it." --Donald Liebenson Explore More

Love the show... but not so much the price when they come out for sale...! May 6, 2007

This show is great, but come on, does it really need to be so pricey when it comes out for sale? After all, you only get 4 CD's for this price. HBO has a tendency to boost the price up. If they need to put the price up because of the box set quality (because it is quite nice), well maybe they should look at something a little less costly.
Other than that, this series is quite entertaining and the cast are honestly first-class and credible. If you like any type of mafia movies or shows, this is the one you want to see!
Possibly the best season yet December 10, 2006

It's difficult to rate any of the seasons alongside each other but I've watched every episode enough times and I'm begining to find that season 2 and 5 are the most enjoyable. Anyone who has never watched this show has to see it. It is the best show in the history of television, nothing I have seen is even close. so watch it but I suggest brining a sopranos mark along for the ride, it's way too much fun with another person.
