A new 3rd edition, now including Season 5. The Sopranos has proved a pop-culture sensation. It is not only the most controversial series on television, it is also the most provocative, thoughtful, and complex. Its characters and phrases have entered our everyday life, well beyond HBO's many millions of subscribers. The language and themes of The Sopranos have stretched the norms of commercial television. The Sopranos on the Couch is the first book to provide a compact, lively, and authoritative examination of each episode and season - the themes, inside jokes, and allusions - thereby putting the series into a broader cultural context. If television programming is normally considered a wasteland, then The Sopranos may be thought of as a jungle: richly coloured, teeming with life, dark with mystery. Yacowar helps us understand exactly why we can't get enough of Tony Soprano and that colourful mafia family that we hate to love and often love to hate!
