The Sopranos was propaganda. It depicted weak, disorganized, and shrinking organized crime. At a time when it was anything but. They just moved from semi independent to fully government controlled.
Anyways.. yea.. Deadwood was HBO. They hated the show though and they killed it after only 2 seasons. They had to fight to get the third.
Also, having never seen The Sopranos, I am going to go out on a limb and say they painted organized crime as solely carried out by Italian immigrants and no other group.
...and the under 30 generation don't watch ANY OF THEM except for TikTok.
Are there any iconic Current Year HBO shows that would be roughly equivalent to The Sopranos in its heyday?
I'm trying to think of other iconic HBO shows, but am getting them mixed up with AMC classics like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, etc.
Was Deadwood HBO?

They had some Jews in there, but they were not depicted as anywhere near as powerful as they actually are.
There was one jew.
He was subservient to the mob.
