10 Best Shows on Netflix Like 'The Sopranos'
These shows owe their entire vibe to North Jersey’s most iconic sociopath, Tony Soprano.

When The Sopranos debuted, it didn’t just change TV—it eliminated the line between prestige and pulp, between a protagonist and a problem. David Chase’s landmark HBO series ushered in the golden age of anti-heroes, replacing likable leads with morally compromised men haunted by their mothers, therapists, and the specter of irrelevance. Tony Soprano didn’t just run a mob family—he remade the family drama, giving us slow-burn storytelling, interiority-laced violence, and a generation of TV shows obsessed with power, guilt, and pasta.
