The Sopranos, Season 4

It's tough times in Jersey for Tony Soprano. The sluggish economy hasn’t been good for the family business . . . and the ducks aren't coming back anytime soon. HBO presents Season 4 of this hit drama series that follows the life and times of the New Jersey mob boss. In addition to taking a hit from the downturn in the economy — which has had an adverse impact on his supposedly recession-proof businesses — Tony finds himself dealing with a wife who is constantly on his case and increasingly unhappy with their marriage; the absence of trusted capo Paulie (he's in jail) and ascension of nephew Christopher as acting family capo; the impending RICO trial of his Uncle Junior; the continued irritations caused by his sister Janice; and the ongoing growing pains of his daughter Meadow and son Anthony Jr. James Gandolfini heads up the superb ensemble cast.
