So the sixth season is broken up in two parts (21 episodes altogether instead of the standard 13). The first half of this season focused heavily on Vito, a closeted captain who was eventually caught at a gay bar doing his best Mr. Slave impression. Tony has a near-death experience that leads to a bit of a transformation as he begins to view life as a gift. Anthony Jr. (Tony's son) really comes into his own this season, completely eclipsing Meadow (his daughter) who has turned into a pretty dull character. The therapist has faded into the background and is not featured as prominently. I really expected this season (or half a season) to end with some sort of cliffhanger to get people excited for the second half. However, in true Sopranos fashion, the season ended at Christmas with the family together. Not much happened. This series seems to be focused on interaction between characters rather than violence and shocking events. Anyway, with 9 episodes left, I can really see why people love this show so much. It blows my mind to think that this show started in 1999. It really was a trend setter.
