Directed by Academy Award®-winner Alex Gibney (HBO's Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief), this two-part documentary delves deep into the psyche of The Sopranos' renowned creator and writer, David Chase, offering a unique window into his life, career, and unparalleled work on the iconic program. On a replica set of Dr. Melfi's psychiatrist's office, Gibney flips the script on Chase, excavating and analyzing the origins of The Sopranos, his creative process, and the intimate connections between his own life and many of his characters. Joined by writers, producers, executives, and actors – including Lorraine Bracco, Edie Falco, and Michael Imperioli – Chase reflects on his paradigm-shifting series, which remains a cultural phenomenon and touchstone for prestige television 25 years after its debut.
