Dubbed ‘A Sopranos Story,’ its main concern seems to be force-feeding the audience as many cartoonishly bad Sopranos references per minute as humanly fucking possible. Anyway, Many Saints‘ story takes place during the formative childhood years of Tony Soprano, previously played by the late James Gandolfini. While teenage Tony (Michael Gandolfini) has been central to the marketing, what story there is focuses on Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivoli), the father of The Sopranos’ Christopher Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli) and former mentor to the future Don of North Jersey.
