The scene where Carmela confronts Tony about the Russian mistress? She doesn't cry. She smiles. “I already called the FBI, honey. You think I don’t keep a diary?”
“Hey,” Paulie whispered. “I remember this.” Jennifer Mefli (Lorraine Bracco)
Tony is caught between two "families"—his biological one and the DiMeo crime family.
Most shows peak in their third season. The Sopranos does, but quietly. Season 3 is dominated by the arrival of Ralph Cifaretto (Joe Pantoliano), a despicable yet brilliant earner who becomes Tony’s nemesis. Simultaneously, we watch Meadow go to Columbia and AJ falter in school—proof that the sins of the father are already corrupting the children.
The series follows Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), the de facto boss of the DiMeo crime family in New Jersey. On the surface, he is a powerful mobster dealing with the pressures of his criminal organization. But the genius of the show lies in the other half of his life: his complicated family, his two children, his domineering mother, and his long-suffering wife, Carmela.
