The bald soprano Continue Follow the latest daily buzz with buzzFeed Daily Newsletter! For fans of the Sopranos it was a very good year. Sure, it's been 12 years since the HBO series gone, but news of the film's prequel in the works guaranteed more action from New Jersey's beloved fictional crime family. That's a big positive. Watching the cast and crew gather for the show's 20th anniversary party also had to ignite fond memories. Seeing everyone from Tony Sirico (Paulie Walnats) to Vincent Pastore (Big Pussy) and Dominique Chianer (Uncle Junior) in good health was a welcome sight. But there's still a wait to do until The Sopranos follow-up, Many Saints of Newark, arriving in theaters next year. Chances are you'll need at least a few shows to tide you off until then. With that in mind, we've put together a list of the best shows with The Sopranos quality you can stream now. They all have several seasons to enjoy, and some have new episodes coming in front of many Saints hits theaters. 1. Americans, or hide crime from the children of Americans FX In the first two seasons of The Sopranos, there is a lot of tension in the family as Meadow (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) and J.J. (Robert Iler) learn about the family business. When Meadow buys a good friend's car (as payment for his father's gambling debt), he gets too close to home. This corner of the suburban family resonates very differently than scenes from, say, Goodfellas or The Godfather. In The Americans, a spy thriller that ran for six excellent seasons on FX, you'll find a similar strain. Instead of a mobster, mom and dad are Russian spies who kill when work requires them. As the children grow up and suspect that they do not have a normal suburban family, the plot thickens. Find this in full on Amazon Prime. 2. Barry, or opening goofballs among gangsters Bill Haider (Barry Berkman) and Anthony Carrigan (Noho Hank) in Barry HBO's The Sopranos is a crime drama, but there have been countless hilarious moments throughout the show's run. Whether it's Uncle June telling Livia even coffee is old in her nursing home or Paulie demanding his Tupperware back from Vito, David Chase and his writers delivered on comedy. If dark comedy with a violent background is your thing, HBO's Barry (starring Bill Ader) could be your lane. In this case, the supporting characters (including an upbeat Chechen mobster named Hank) keep the laughs coming. Fans of the soprano also return among the amateur actors Christopher Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli) met in his screenwriter days. Barry Ader is a hitman who wants to become an actor. Sign up for Barry's second season starting March 31, or return and stream season one on HBO. 3. 'Get Shorty,' a mafia tale with real wit and style by Ray Romano and Chris O'Dowd in | MGM Over the past few years, there has been one brilliant show lurking in sight: Epix's Get Shorty. Maybe it's because the series runs on Epix, an MGM product that comes as a standalone app or as a premium addition to cable packages. However, when Netflix took season one, that opened up the gangster comedy for more exposure, and it deserves every bit it can get. As in John Travolta's film, the show tells the story of a mafia henchman who works their way into the movie business. But Get Shorty is taking it in a completely different direction - and wow, it works. Chris O'Dowd, who plays the role of Chile Palmer (Travolta), shines in this series, as does Ray Romano as a low-rent producer gullible enough to mingle with organized crime financiers. After two seasons (the second of which can be found on Epix), we'll get a third next year. It may be the best thing Sopranos fans can do with their time in 2019. 4. Boardwalk Empire, another HBO crime show with the talent of Soprano Steve Buscemi and Anthony Laciura in season 3 of Boardwalk Empire ,EN HBO What made The Sopranos so great? Of course, acting and production design were decisive, but it all starts with writing. Chase and Terence Winter just knocked him out of the park. After that big run, Winter created Boardwalk Empire, which had a five-season stint (2010-14) on HBO. This time, the setup moved south to Atlantic City during the ban, but the win is almost as big. Starring Steve Buscemi, another Sopranos vet, in what was one of his most meaty roles. This show is considerably darker than the Sopranos (imagine that), but as a crime drama it's hard to find a series with a higher quality reel for reel. Michael C. Williams (The Wire), Michael Shannon, Vincent Piazza (as Lucky Luciano), Shea Wigham, and Michael Stuhlbarg (as Arnold Rothstein) shine in that rock-solid cast. Check out the Cheat sheet on Facebook!
