Amazon.co.uk Review
Facing an indeterminate sentence of weeks/months/years until new episodes, Sopranos fans are advised to take the fifth; season, that is. At this point, superlatives don't do The Sopranos justice, but justice was at last served to this benchmark series. For the first time, The Sopranos rubbed out The West Wing to take home its first Emmy for Outstanding Dramatic Series. Michael Imperioli and Drea de Matteo also earned Best Supporting Actor and Actress honors for some of their finest hours as Christopher and Adriana. From the moment a wayward bear lumbers into the Sopranos' yard in the season opener, it is clear that The Sopranos is in anything but a "stagmire." The series benefits from an infusion of new blood, the so-called "Class of 2004," imprisoned "family" members freshly released from jail. Most notable among these is Tony's cousin, Tony Blundetto (Steve Buscemi, who directed the pivotal season 3 episode "Pine Barrens"), who initially wants to go straight, but proves himself to be something of a "free agent," setting up a climactic stand-off between Tony and New York boss Johnny Sack.

These 13 mostly riveting episodes unfold with a page-turning intensity with many rich subplots. Estranged couple Tony and Carmela (the incomparable James Gandolfini and Edie Falco) work toward a reconciliation (greased by Tony's purchase of a $600,000 piece of property for Carmela to develop). The Feds lean harder on an increasingly stressed-out and distraught Adriana to "snitch" with inevitable results. This season's hot-button episode is "The Test Dream," in which Tony is visited by some of the series' dear, and not-so-dearly, departed in a harrowing nightmare. With this set, fans can enjoy marathon viewings of an especially satisfying season, but considering the long wait ahead for season 6, best to take Tony's advice to his son, who, at one point, gulps down a champagne toast. "Slow down," Tony says. "You're supposed to savor it." --Donald Liebenson, Amazon.com

Synopsis
The personal and professional adventures of Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) unfold once again in this fifth season of episodes from the show. This time out he's officially separated from Carmela (Edie Falco), but still beset by family problems and a wandering eye that strays into some dangerous territory. Christopher (Michael Imperioli), Paulie (Tony Sirico), and Silvio (Steve Van Zandt) still keep their eyes on the business end of Tony's life, while Anthony Jr. (Robert Iler) and Meadow (Jamie Lynn Sigler) learn some tough lessons as the offspring of a notorious mob boss. Tony's sister Janice (Aida Turturro) causes further problems for her beleaguered brother, including a stint in Anger Management classes, but fortunately the ever-reliable Dr. Melfi (Lorraine Bracco) is on hand to beat off Tony's advances and steady his nerves through her therapy sessions. Every episode from the award winning show's fifth season is included here.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Listen, everything's all right ...", 18 April 2006

By	S. Cottrell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While series 5 of the Spotranos suffers slightly by comparison with some of its illustrious predecessors, the series builds to a great climax in the last 3 episodes. I agree with one or two of the criticisms by other reviewers, and the first three or four episodes are slower and apparently less consequential than many earlier episiodes, but the final four episodes of the series (especially the penultimate installment) make compelling viewing.

The problem that series 4 and 5 of the Sopranos have had is how to keep things fresh- after all, this is a series that has churned out 60-odd episodes of about 45 minutes each, all with Hollywood-standard production values. The biggest flaw is a felling of 'here we go again' when older characters (Vito, Little Paulie and Bobby for example) are promoted or given more prominence and new characters (Phil Leotardo, Tony Blundetto) are introduced. For the first half of the series, Tony Blundetto appears to be filling the shoes left by Ralph and Richie Aprile before that, but Steve Buscemi's excellent, understated acting gives the character added depth and significance.

The last part of the series effectively drums home the message that the Sopranos has been reiterating for years - no matter how cosy and cuddly these characters may appear, they are ruthless murderers and no matter how much they talk about family and honour, they are as motivated by greed and self interest as any petty thieves, points perhaps obscured in even the greatest Mafia movies.

My big hope is that the fact that the show now has a very limited shelf-life (20-odd more episodes) might give season 6 and the following specials a natural dramatic impetus.

Biggest disappointment in season 5 - not enough Junior!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!, 16 Feb 2006

By A Customer

Sopanos- the greatest tv show ever- fact! With the arrival of Steve Buscemi (who also directed an episode) The Sopranos maintained it's unique rhythm right until the shows finale. The cast as ever are wonderful and with Paulie getting more air time than he did in season 4 it just can't be faulted. If you liked Goodfellas, The Godfather etc. then this show is an absolute must for you. With the show now due to finish and Six Feet Under already gone, just what the hell will there be left to watch on tv? Lost??? Forget about it! This is the king and will never be beaten- Oh there is also the shock exit of one of the shows regular and most beloved characters- but I won't say whom in case you haven't seen it yet. Let's just say BIG SURPRISE! Each episode here is like a mini-movie and there are still many plotlines waiting to unravel come season 6. Will Furio return? Will they kill Tony off in the end? There is still more crosses and double crosses headed our way- though it probably won't show on tv over here until Big Brother has finished - GRRRR!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ponch, 10 Aug 2005

By A Customer

I have to say that series 5 is excellent. Everything that the makes the show so good is all there, and the inclusion of Steve Buscemi throughout the series makes it all the more watchable. There are several smaller plots throughout the series, most of which are tied up by the end and some which you feel could re-appear in the next series. I won't go into detail about the plots, as it will dilute the experience. If you're a fan series five cannot fail to impress it is brilliant viewing from start to finish- roll on series six.
