Upon its debut, The Sopranos quickly became one of the most acclaimed cable television series ever, and the accolades didn't let up with the show's second season. This box set collects the entire 13-episode run of the show's second season on four DVDs, with the episodes transferred in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio (enhanced for widescreen monitors). English-speaking viewers have a choice of Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround soundtracks, while there are also alternate French and Spanish-language tracks mixed in Dolby Digital Stereo. Bonus material includes two short featurettes (including "The Real Deal," in which media critics, FBI agents, and psychoanalysts comment on the accuracy and the impact of the series) and the director's commentary tracks for the following episodes: "Commendatori," "From Where to Eternity," "The Knight in White Satin Armor," and "Funhouse." The other episodes included are "Guy Walks into a Psychiatrist's Office...," "Do Not Resuscitate," "Toodle-oo," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "The Happy Wanderer," "D-Girl," "Full Leather Jacket," "Bust Out," and "House Arrest." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
