Tony's family members, mafia associates, and rivals—most notably his wife Carmela and his protégé/distant cousin Christopher Moltisanti—play major parts in the series.

The Sopranos is largely recognized as one of the all-time best television shows. The series earned plenty of prizes, including two Peabody Awards, 21 Primetime Emmy Awards, and five Golden Globe Awards in its first two seasons. It has inspired books, a video games, soundtrack CDs, podcasts, and other goods, as well as critical analysis, controversy, and parody.
