THE SOPRANOS

Many reviews of HBO’s The Sopranos reveal how its story was well-written and totally relatable to many degrees. The show focused on the lead character Tony Soprano’s life as mafia head and the patriarch of his family whose members have their own personal struggles. The Sopranos was definitely relatable—from big issues that involve society to the smaller but equally important ones.

It has touched on crime and violence while featuring teen angst, caring for the elderly, college relationships, and mental health. The lead character Tony Soprano himself regularly visited his psychiatrist to deal with anxiety and depression, a topic which not many TV series were able to tackle during the early 2000s. The Sopranos aired its last episode in 2007.
