The Sopranos continued to upend convention and defy audience expectations with a deliberately paced, calm-before-the-storm season opener that revolves around the FBI's attempts to bug the Soprano household, and a season finale that (for some) frustratingly leaves several plot lines unresolved. The second episode, "Proshai, Livushka," confronts the death of the venerable Nancy Marchand, who capped her career with perhaps her greatest role as malignant matriarch Livia. A jarring scene between Tony and Livia that uses pre-existing footage is a distraction, but Carmela's unsparing smackdown of Livia at the wake redeems the episode. "Employee of the Month," in which Dr. Melfi is raped and considers whether to exact revenge by telling Tony of her attack, earned Emmys for its writers, and is perhaps Emmy nominee Lorraine Bracco's finest hour. The darkly comic "Pine Barrens"--another memorable episode, directed by Steve Buscemi--strands Paulie (Tony Sirico) and Christopher (Michael Imperioli) in the forest with a runaway corpse. Other story arcs concern the rise of the seriously unstable Ralph Cifaretto (Joe Pantoliano) and Tony's affair with "full-blown loop-de-loo" Gloria (Emmy nominee Annabella Sciorra). Plus, there is Tony's estrangement from daughter Meadow (Jamie Lynn Sigler), his wayward delinquent son Anthony, Jr. (Robert Iler), Carmela's crisis of conscience, bad seed Jackie Jr., and the FBI--which, as the season ends, assigns an undercover agent to befriend an unwitting figure in the Soprano family's orbit. Stay tuned for season four. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of The Sopranos: The Complete Third Season
a lively season This is a favorite season of my family--the powerful rape of Dr. Melfi still gets to me (how she could not tell Tony!) and shows how she is a better person then most. Gloria and Tony were the funnest paring to watch as Tony met his match in her. Pine Barrens is of course a classic in the Christopher/Paulie relationship--I don't think is has ever again been presented better. The addtion of Ralphie made a nice arch-type to Tony, but I could have done with less Jackie Jr.
Sopranos epic matures and expands with stellar Season Three
The first three seasons of HBO's "The Sopranos" just get better and better. Too many series get lost after the original premise gets played out and the writers have nowhere for their characters to go after the first big climax. "The Sopranos" is different - as each conflict gets resolved, two new crises emerge, each as dire and entertaining as the last.

<
>But the series never spins out of control. Tony, Carmela, Dr. Melfi, Meadow, Christopher . . . all of these characters remain true, even where they are over the top. Season Three features some of the finest writing TV has to offer, and the cast led by James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, and Lorraine Bracco continues to offer stellar performances down the line.
<
>
<
>Some of the plot lines that play major roles in Season Three include:
<
>
<
>Tony finding peace in the arms of another woman (Annabella Sciorra), only to find that peace shattered;
<
>
<
>Carmela struggling with the guilt that comes from living off blood money;
<

<
>Janice takes on the Russians, finds God, and a narcoleptic boyfriend;
<

<
>Tony struggles to handle a rebellious, murderous captain (Joe Pantoliano) while also trying to keep the son he wished he had, Jackie Aprile, Jr., in line;
<

<
>Meadow's off at college and thinks she has found true love, twice;
<

<
>Dr. Melfi struggles with vengeance and whether to use Tony to exorcise her demons;
<

<
>The death of Livia (Nancy Marchand) affects everyone;
<

<
>Uncle Junior struggles with cancer and house arrest;
<
>
<
>and the FBI continues its unsuccessful war against the Soprano family, but starts to show some promise.
<

<
>As you can see, Season Three offers plenty of meat on the bone for its audience - I didn't even mention the best episode of the season, which puts Christopher and Paulie in the New Jersey snowbound countryside chasing a dead Russian.

>Fans of the first two seasons need no encouragement to check out Season Three. If you haven't started this series yet, get to Season One and start watching!
ANOTHER GREAT SEASON!
Season 3 is another really good one and it contains my favorite episode to date (Pine Barrens)I was happy they "retired" some characters that really got on my nerves. I did not like the menu screen on this one as much as the first two seasons,but the DVD transfers are excellent! you can find these sets for $20.00 a season if you look around.
