Probably the best-written TV show of the '90s and the perfect mix of family drama and mob story. The realistic, unvarnished approach to the mafia lifestyle is clearly inspired by "GoodFellas", with which it shares a few cast members. It's almost a sitcom, but there is a horizontal plotline that slowly proceeds through the season and builds up the tension until the last couple of episodes. Everything starts off as some kind of offbeat comedy, but you can notice that things are getting more and more serious as time goes by. The characters are sometimes too many to keep in mind, but the ones who stick are lovable. Tony is such an asshole, yet we can't help loving him. Being able to join his therapy sessions helps to build affection and grasp the depth of the character.
