🎬 13 Episodes 📅 2001 ⏱ 60 min
Behind the image of a powerful man feared by everyone around him, Tony Soprano lives with a split no one fully sees: a mob boss who knows how to control the street, and a husband and father trying not to collapse at home. The Sopranos steps into the space where money and violence cannot protect him, using therapy sessions as a mirror for a man desperate to stay in control while terrified of his own weakness. Between family, betrayal, guilt, and power, the story reveals that Tony’s most dangerous battles are not always with his enemies.
