What would they do? Sit at home waiting on the FBI raid or dealing with their husbands and their constant unfaithfulness and hypocrisy?

Just continue it and have it be about the power struggle of being a woman in that line of work.

I don't see why that wouldn't be a compelling show, about a woman working her way up through the ranks.

They should make it take place right after the original ended.

The idea couldn't work in the slightest. It couldn't take place in modern times since one of the biggest plot elements of the original show was the fact that the mob was well past its dying days and struggling and it would make even less sense having it take place decades before for obvious reasons.

I don't know if this is just being silly but, actually, a female-oriented organized crime show does legitimately sound intriguing. "La cosa nostra" is generally a man's business but if they can viably find a way to flip that on its head I think the trope twisting would be worth watching, at least the start.

It does have potential. I'm just afraid they might take the lazy route and rewrite Sopranos but with women, probably even with the same ending.

Just use her character from Bad Blood but change that hairstyle to something longer

And yes, I'm aware this isn't happening but an all female gangster show would be awesome.

Trying to change a beloved and iconic ip as the Sopranos by gender swapping the characters comes off as sexist to women personally. Its basically saying the producers arent confident in an original show with an all female cast playing new original characters so they have to use a beloved ip and gender swap the characters to get the show to do well.

I would say Altos, but I think that name is taken. I would also say Trebles, but I heard from a reliable source that they're all about that Bass.

Vertigo did that a long time back with "The Kitchen," but that was the Irish mob.

I can see this working as a show about a woman who is part of the Soprano family dealing with life in an incredibly conservative and sexist world of a major crime family.

Like some 50 year old thug that enjoys beating up prostitutes is going to be happy taking orders from a female Capo... that could be very compelling.

I agree, they could do an incredibly compelling story about the women who acted as spies, communications, medical, resistance, etc...

If they made a movie about all female frontline commandos in WW2... obviously that would be to either do a weird history subversion like "Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" or they would do it to piss off conservatives for all the publicity it's worth.

I mean ultimately do I think an attempt at a serious WW2 movie about conscripted female ground troops would make a good movie? No... would I watch it? Probably not... Will I get super upset and scream that it's part of an attack on my conservative, Christian, masulinity? ...lol no.

I think the bigger issue would be the ALL-female part. Could someone do a good movie about the ghost witches? Absolutely. Would it work with an all female cast? Absolutely not.
