The Sopranos? Way overated, IMO.
Any idiot - especially a guy - can write a good mop shop/movie.
Some fat slob gets rich by killing some people, extorting some others, threatening some other people, bribe police, boss weak women around (usually good looking) and being loyal to other fat slobs who do the same thing. Throw in a shrink - to make it all seem 'deep' - and it's a hit...guaranteed.
Any heterosexual guy could write a decent script for a show like that and have it make money.
America is obsessed with mob movies/shows because they portray losers becoming winners by being lazy, sexist and violent...just what most men want at their base level.
I'm sure you could write something better.
