DVD Review: The Sopranos - Season 6, Part 2
Summary: 5 Stars
The end of the line came for "The Sopranos" last year when the critically acclaimed mob drama ended its eight year run. This was one of the best dramatic shows of all-time, and season 6, part 2 for the most part was excellent. It was an improvement over season 6, part 1, though just a tad below the first five seasons. It was a wise decision to end the show where it did. It might have gotten too tiresome if it had ran longer. Tony Soprano and gang returned for nine final episodes, and they didn't disappoint. The tension level rose with each episode as we wondered which characters would get whacked (some of the shows' major supporting characters did), and as the show was coming closer to the end we wondered what fate had in store for our favorite TV mobster. And yes, this show does have without question the most bizarre ending for a television series. I need not say anymore about the ending; just about everybody who's ever watched an episode of "The Sopranos" knows how it ended. Nevertheless, there was rarely a dull moment in any of the episodes in season 6, part 2; just another collection of great acting, writing, and directing. And it went out with a bang at the Emmys, receiving 15 nominations and winning for the second time as Best Drama Series (beating out fan favorite "Grey's Anatomy" and my current favorite drama series "House"). It also won its sixth Emmy for Best Writing (David Chase for the final episode "Made in America"), and (finally) winning its first Emmy for Best Directing (Alan Taylor for the sixth episode "Kennedy and Heidi"). The total Emmy tally for "The Sopranos": 111 nominations and 21 wins.
The few quibbles I had with season 6, part 2: one problem was the absence of a few great supporting characters who were seen very little throughout the season, such as Uncle Junior (who got less and less screen time the past few seasons because of his trip into dementia) and sister Janice (who appeared often in the first episode, then is rarely seen until the last few episodes). Another complaint that I had was a moment that has to be seen to be disbelieved. Now throughout the show's run there were plenty of disgusting moments, and I'm not necessarily talking about the graphic violence. This show featured plenty of drug usage, vomiting, and characters breaking wind (the latter was always good for laughs). But the show went just too far in the disgusting department in episode 4 (titled "Chasing It"). There's a scene where you see a bunch of teenage boys taking a shower in the boys locker room at their school (there's no nudity in the scene). Then the troubled son of the late mobster Vito (the one who turned out to be gay in season 6, part 1) steps into the shower, and has a bowel movement. And the camera actually pans down to show the mess he made. Was this really necessary?
Even though I gave "The Sopranos - Season 6, Part 2" five stars, I really give it 4 ½ stars. Amazon's rating system won't allow ½ star reviews, so I ended up giving it 5 stars. If it did, I would give it 4 ½ stars, because that's how I felt about this particular season. (I did this exact same thing in my review of "The Golden Girls - The Complete Fifth Season".) It was definitely better than the four star season 6, part 1; but a notch below the five star seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Still, lots to like here in season 6, part 2. It shouldn't be missed.
Let me take a moment here to run down the list of people who made this show work during the eight years it was on. "The Sopranos" would not have been the great show it was if it weren't for the following individuals: James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, Lorraine Bracco, Michael Imperioli, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Robert Iler, Dominic Chianese, Tony Sirico, Steven Van Zandt, Aida Turturro, Drea de Matteo, Steven Schirripa, John Ventimiglia, Sharon Angela, Vincent Curatola, Frank Vincent, Joe Pantoliano, Steve Buscemi, Jerry Adler, Vincent Pastore, Federico Castelluccio, David Proval, Dan Grimaldi, Max Casella, Katherine Narducci, Tom Aldredge, Suzanne Shepherd, Peter Bogdanovich, Jason Cerbone, Joseph Gannascoli, Matt Servitto, Toni Kalem, Al Sapienza, and the late Nancy Marchand. Whether their roles were big or small, they all did a spectacular job. Nobody else could have played Tony Soprano as good as Gandolfini did. Same goes for Falco as Carmela; Imperioli as Christopher; Bracco as Dr. Melfi; etc. Much of the credit for this show being so good should go to creator David Chase. He made one hell of a show. It'll be with us forever.

Tony's wife Carmela plans for a future she's not sure will arrive, and son AJ and daughter Meadow find that adulthood holds its own surprises. Meanwhile, at work, Tony comes to doubt the allegiances of many of those closest to him ¿ no one, not Paulie, Bobby, Silvio or even Christopher is above suspicion. The clock is ticking.
