The Sopranos, which won 21 Emmys over its six-season run including Outstanding Drama Series twice, is among TV’s most essential series. It followed Tony Soprano (the late James Gandolfini), husband, father and mob boss, whose professional and private strains land him in therapy, portraying the difficulties that he faces as he tries to balance his family life with his role as the leader of a criminal organization.

Along with the show’s two Peabodys and dozens of guild awards, The WGA penciled in The Sopranos at No. 1 on its 2013 list of Best Written TV Series of All Time.
