Warning: Spoilers
Nice final episode .

Very tense at some moments mostly when Tony hear the truth trough a tape that is his own mother who tell about the shrink to Junior and he also heard ghe death wish . Not gonna lie that scene at the hospital near at the end with that face to face was heartbreaking : We know Tony try his best for his mum but her is a little bit different.

I was also surprised to learn that the mic was placed in the retired home where Tony's mother stay and that was not Jimmy but he get killed anyway .

Junior get arrested and his plan to kill Tony because he sees a shrink failed .

We had also an important face to face about Tony and his friends about revealing that he see a shrink and it was interesting to see how communication can lead to something interesting without judgment and just pay attention.

Another important confrontation that was expected was with the shrink : the last appointment was pretty violent . But everything get back in order and we understand better Tony trough her and even more the sense of some dreams and the problem with his mom

I want also to make a general review of the season 1: I really found it interesting and i didnt expected to dive into the stories pretty quick. The only thing that can be a little bit disturbing is that it dont really have high stakes : every episode is a succession of events that Tony or other characters react to : there is no objectives to succeed or something . It was more a chain of events that lead to a better understanding of Tony and how that man deal with his personal problems and his business . I love that emotional part and that shrink sessions and bring humanity and another point of view that we can identify ourself trough the shrink even if she also bring some lights to certain areas . And it bring some orignal moments and scenes : A mafia boss who need to see a shrink and just remind us that we are all humans at the end of the day despite our jobs and reputations .

I really love that first season and i hope more interesting stuff in season 2 .

Need to see more.
