That gamble is most apparent in the rupture of the relationship that formed the spine of the first season, the tangled ties between capo Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) and monstrous matriarch Livia (Nancy Marchand), whose betrayal makes Tony's estrangement a logical response. Filling that vacuum, however, is prodigal sister Janice (Aida Turturro), whose New Age flakiness never successfully conceals her underlying calculation and opportunism. Soprano's relationship with therapist Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco) also frays during early episodes, as she struggles with escalating doubts about her mobbed-up patient. At home, Tony contends with wife Carmela's ruthless ambitions on behalf of college-bound Meadow, as well as son Anthony Jr.'s sullen adolescent flirtation with existentialism--the sort of touch that the show handles with a smart mix of sympathy and amusement.
Without spoiling the surprise of the season's climactic last episode, it's worth noting that only on The Sopranos could we expect a scene that sets up a mob hit with a perversely funny touch of magic realism--a talking fish, lying on a fishmonger's iced display, speaking with the voice of the victim. It's a touch at once morbid and goofy, and consistent with the show's undimmed brilliance. --Sam Sutherland

Customer Reviews of The Sopranos: The Complete Second Season
FORGETABOUTIT...THE BEST What can you say about the greatest drama series of our time. A must buy...every season.
Hugely entertaining Season 2 builds off Season 1's massive foundation
"The Sopranos" may be the most critically acclaimed TV series of all time, but it surely features one of the largest, most complex cast of characters ever assembled for the small screen. Thanks to those characters, Season 2 grabs hold of you from the very first scene of the first episode and doesn't let go for thirteen hilarious, violent, sad episodes.

<
>The story continues to revolve around the massive shoulders and belly of Tony Soprano. At the end of Season 1, Tony survived a "hit" arranged by his Uncle Junior and his mother, Livia. But family is family, and both Uncle Junior and Livia are still breathing at the outset of Season 2, even though Tony keeps insisting that Livia "is dead to me." Making Tony's family life even more complicated, his opportunistic leech of a sister, Janice, has returned to Jersey from Seattle. Janice professes to be home to help her dear old mother, but in reality she's back to get on the Tony gravy train, which will be a nice supplement to her 100% disability checks from the State of Washington for her carpal tunnel syndrome.

<
>Tony's crime family is also on the rocks, as doubts linger about the possibility of an informer in the ranks. Sure, they killed one snitch last year, but these guys are like roaches, and the cops continue to sniff just a bit too close at Tony's heels.

<
>All the great aspects of Season 1 are back in force - the terrific actors who have been cast in the roles of their lives, the witty writing, the massive budget that allows for one episode to be filmed back in dear old Italia, and the freedom of pay-cable that allows "The Sopranos" to revel in the violence and debauchery that follows this hypnotically flawed family.
<

<
>The only aspect of Season 2 that seems to lose a bit of steam is Tony's relationship with Dr. Melfi. Their relationship grows, but mainly due to distance because we see as many scenes with Dr. Melfi and her own shrink as we do with Dr. Melfi and Tony. Dr. Melfi remains one of the most beloved characters in the series, to be sure, but the show has the luxury of knowing it's a smash hit and Season 2 allows Tony and Dr. Melfi to let their relationship grow patiently.
<

<
>Oh, and one more thing makes Tony's life a living hell. Meadow is a gifted high school senior and her dream school is Berkeley, which is pretty much a nightmare for a mob guy from New Jersey with only a semester and a half at Seton Hall under his belt.

<
>If you haven't seen "The Sopranos," you must watch Season 1 first - don't dive into this series in mid-stream. But you must dive in.

In keeping with the the entire series, the second season rocks!
