The Sopranos is about a family whose father is a mob-leader. It would take a day to explain all the plot twists and conflicts, but it is great. Tony Soprano is married to Carmella and have two kids, Meadow and Tony Jr. The show is usually focussed around them, but it sometimes switches to another major character (chris, his girlfriend, etc.) It is really great. It mixes violence, humor, action, and plenty of other things and it is definitely one of the best series of all time (in my opinion)... This season has been mostly weak, but go out and rent the first one or two (they have it on DVD) and see if you like it. Later man.
