The Organized Crime Series That Fans Of The Sopranos Need To Watch Next

Like many members of The Sopranos' main crew, Silvio Dante's final moments on the show did not end well. While the show stopped short of showing the character's death, it did end with Silvio comatose after an assassination attempt, with doctors predicting that recovery was unlikely.

That said, anyone willing to ignore that could easily envision Netflix's Lilyhammer as an unexpected spinoff of The Sopranos. Fans on Reddit have even gone so far as to frame the entire show as Silvio's coma dream. In Lilyhammer, Steven Van Zandt plays Frank "The Fixer" Tagliano, a New York-area mobster put into the witness protection program after he testifies against a new crime boss who betrayed him. Federal agents agree to relocate him to Lillehammer, Norway, which Frank had been interested in ever since watching the city host the 1994 Winter Olympics.

After arriving, Frank assumes his new identity as Johnny and begins leading a new life using the same tactics he used as a part of a criminal organization in New York. Like Silvio from The Sopranos, Frank operates a successful nightclub and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty to solve problems. While Lilyhammer was ultimately canceled after its third season, as Van Zandt announced on Twitter, the show managed to tie up its loose ends and even include a brief cameo from Bruce Springsteen himself, per Rolling Stone.
