Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) appears to have it all—a sprawling mansion in North Caldwell, a beautiful wife, two kids, and a "waste management" empire. But he is having panic attacks. He passes out at a family barbecue. He hyperventilates when chasing debtors.

The domestic plotlines are far from filler. They ground the show in reality. We see Carmela Soprano (Edie Falco), Tony’s wife, who is arguably the moral pivot of the show.

She enjoys the lifestyle the "business" provides—the fur coats, the luxury cars, the big house—but she is constantly nagged by the spiritual cost. : The season focuses on the power struggle
