The Sopranos essentially invented what modern television series could be, things like Breaking Bad and True Detective would have had a very different feel to them if Tony Soprano hadn't graced our screens some year prior.
The show was full of performances that were beyond outstanding, both James Gandolfini and Edie Falco are still held up as the benchmark of television greatness and few others have attained to that level since.
However, the show also was very episodic at times and concentrated on many different people over the run of the show. The minor characters of the show were perhaps what rounded out the world we delved into every Sunday, as they made the feel of the show all the more real. It wasn't always about looking at Tony and Carmela, it was about telling the story of a New Jersey mob syndicate and their day to day operations.
Now, over 20 years later, The Sopranos is seen as one of, if not the greatest TV show in history for the way it presented itself to its audience. It was so convincing that FBI agents have revealed that real members of the mob thought there was somebody giving the show tips on what their world was really like.
So, we will ignore the lead actors for the moment and concentrate on the minor characters that sometimes stole the show (https://whatculture.com/tv/the-sopranos-10-best-minor-characters?page=10).
