Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Sopranos is well known for being a violent and brutal show, but the saddest deaths of every season still keep the audience guessing. The series ran through season 6 and aired on HBO starting in 1999. Created by David Chase, the show is known for originating the archetype of the anti-hero on TV and revolutionizing the television landscape.
Besides Tony and Dr. Melfi, many other characters color Tony’s world, and each has the opportunity to grow and develop over the seasons. Tony’s wife, children, and home life draw a sharp contrast between his role as head of the crime family and the sleazy club where they do their business. Despite the show’s popularity, The Sopranos ended after season 6 because the nature arc of the show had to end.
5 Season 2 - Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero Died in Season 2, Episode 13, "Funhouse" Close The death of Sal “Big Pussy” haunts Tony for the duration of the show and is a prime example of how his morals are long gone by the end. It’s hard to believe that Sal’s death happened so early. However, in The Sopranos season 2, it’s revealed Sal has been working for the Feds as a mole. Working as an informant against the family is the worst form of betrayal in the world of the show.
3 Season 4 - Minn Matrone Dies Season 4, Episode 12, "Eloise" Close Although Minn wasn't the kindest character, she was a defenseless older woman, and Paulie had no reason or right to kill her. 2 Season 5 - Adriana Died Season 5, Episode 12, "Long Term Parking" Close Many characters in The Sopranos don’t deserve their fates, and even though it’s a violent show, it’s still surprising when a fan-favorite character dies. Through no fault of her own, Adriana is implicated in Christopher and the family's illegal activities, which cause her to be targeted by the FBI. Since she’s of no use to them in prison, they make her an informant, threatening both her and Christopher.
The moment he kills Christopher, Tony’s fate is sealed. Since season 1, it’s clear that his life will only end one way, in death.
