Degrees of separation: what links The Many Saints of Newark to Hamilton?
The Sopranos, Nicole Holofcener, Matt Damon and a duel: join the dots to get up to speed on what everyone’s talking about this week
The Many Saints of Newark
Fourteen years after its notoriously ambiguous conclusion, the Sopranos story returns with a prequel film (in cinemas now), stepping back to the teenage years of future mob boss Tony Soprano, set amid the 1967 race riots in New Jersey’s largest city.
The Gandolfini family
Young Tony is played by Michael Gandolfini, son of James, who starred as old Tony in the original. Michael’s first major role was as the son of a pimp in another HBO series, The Deuce, David Simon’s drama about the porn industry in 1970s New York. Watch it for a deft recreation of Manhattan’s lost dark side and one of the best TV soundtracks ever.
