The Sopranos
Thursday, RTE Two, 10pm
For those of you who haven't cheated and already downloaded the final series of The Sopranos, then this will be very exciting indeed. This first episode 'Soprano Home Movies' is the beginning of the end. Numerous threads are unstitched . . . from Tony being in and out of trouble with the law, to a birthday party at a lake house with niece Nica.
Family is very much the central theme of this last series. Tension between Janice and Tony escalates, with Janice reflecting on events when they were children, and eventually even Carmella becomes irritated. But more sinister is the underlying mistrust towards Christopher that is creeping into Tony's thoughts, prompting him to deliver one of his most heartfelt monologues to Dr Melfi.
But before that, there's murder, interference from the feds and a general unease about what is to come.
How will it all end? Something dramatic is building for sure.
