      Which influence did the Sopranos have? I’m not that familiar with that show

        It was basically the first of HBO’s narratively complex, multi-season, ensemble cast, adult shows. Its success paved the way for shows like The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, and Game of Thrones which were all massively influential in their own right.

    Game of Thrones is probably one, with the mix of sex, politics and fantasy that was new for that era.

    The Witcher was probably created based on the success of GoT

      I feel like most fantasy shows now are trying to capture the GOT audience. Everything from “wheel of time”, “witcher”, “shadow and bone” even “rings of power”, etc I don’t think we would have gotten a lot of those if it was not for companies trying to cater to a similar audience but they also all miss the mark imo
