15 TV Shows To Watch If You Like The Sopranos - TVLine

So, you've finally finished "The Sopranos. " If you're not still trying to make sense of the finale that broke the internet, you're probably trying to figure out what — if anything – could possibly live up to the series you've just experienced. Few television dramas have managed to match its combination of sharp writing, morally complicated characters, and an unsettling ability to make audiences sympathize with terrible people.

Whether you're staring at the black screen for the first time or have just completed your latest rewatch, the cure for this post-"Sopranos" malaise might be closer than you think — perhaps even on HBO. Many of the series listed below feature psychologically complex protagonists who lean more toward villain than antihero, with criminal activities that threaten to consume their personal lives and families. Others share "The Sopranos'" grim sense of humor or skepticism about the innate goodness of humanity. These aren't happy watches by any means — but if you woke up this morning craving cannolis and crime, we've got a few shows for you.
