3. “The Sopranos” (1999 – 2007)
Americans have always been fascinated with the mafia so it was no surprise that audiences took to New Jersey mobster Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) when the drama premiered on HBO January 10, 1999. Rather than glorifying the mob, the show managed to make Tony someone to both root for and hate, as he tried to balance his role as the head of a criminal organization and keep his family life intact. The show was a critical and commercial success and remains the most financially successful cable series in the history of television. Its dark material, mixed with intense storytelling and incredible acting performances, helped pave the way for numerous other cable dramas that came after it. — Laura Saltman
