DVD Description
The final installment of HBO’s acclaimed drama series The Sopranos is filled with some of the darkest hours the well-drawn characters have ever faced. Having cheated death after being shot by Uncle Junior, Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) continues to muse about his second chance at life in this series. He faces a myriad of immediate, stress-inducing crises at home, at work and from the law. Tony's wife Carmela (Edie Falco) plans for a future she's not sure will arrive, and son AJ (Robert Iler) 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. Time is running out. But for who?

After the slight drop in form in Season 6 Part 1, the nine episodes that make up Part 2 are all of astonishingly high quality. Whilst there were a couple of episodes in 6.1 where you sensed a degree of drift and inaction, each one of these episodes is so packed with various plot developments they all merit repeat viewing. I'm very conscious of the need to avoid any spoilers but I think I can get away with saying that there's a real melancholic "end of empire" mood across this entire strand, a sense that as Tony himself once observed - the good times are in the past and as in real life - they start to turn on each other. Added to that, Tony's health is failing, the feud with Phil Leotardo intensifies and AJ in particular causes Tony and Carmela serious grief. The humour that was also missing in 6.1 returns here, particularly with Paulie and AJ's storylines. If you're a big Sopranos fan you've probably been unable to avoid all the moaning about the final ending. Well again, avoiding spoilers, I can assure you that it is by a long shot the finest final episode of any long running series I've ever seen and if you expected a clear Hollywood wrap up then you clearly don't get what makes the Sopranos so uniquely outstanding. Enjoy.

I watched this via satellite television from the USA as it was aired over there. Having been desperate to watch this I was not let down. It is a brilliant, crowning glory to a superb television series. In an effort to not spoil anything I can say that the issues between New York and Jersey get worse and the odd behaviour of AJ causes more concern for Tony. Perhaps most odd of all is that the penultimate episode was meant to be the last. You will know what I mean when I say it would have been a brilliant ending. The episode that became the final installment.....well lets just say you probably won't believe it! James Gandolfini is brilliant as ever as Tony and with a host of tremendous actors and actresses around him the series finale oozes class. The only thing wrong with this series is that it has ended. It is such a shame as life was much better knowing another series of this was in production. Enjoy it whilst it lasts!

When everything was closing in on Tony, how could it end?
Praise has to go to the team that made this series; for not leaving it with a predictable finale. In the most annoying ending of all time...it ended in the only way it could have.

One of the best series
Up to the usual high standards of the earlier episodes. The very ending can be interpreted in at least three ways.Will there be more episodes? Sadly I doubt it

A fitting, if not perfect, ending
I regard "The Sopranos" as one of the masterpieces of American television, and on the whole this final (semi-)series is well up to standard. Read more
