Titus Welliver's 'The Sopranos' Replacement Is Taking Over Streaming With Just 2 Episodes

A quirky coincidence took place on the MGM+ viewership charts this weekend. Titus Welliver returned with a brand-new crime drama series titled The Westies, in which he stars alongside the Oscar-winning J.K. Simmons. They play two men on opposite sides of the law, in a pulsating narrative that might remind audiences of Martin Scorsese's blockbuster crime epic The Departed and HBO's landmark series The Sopranos. But here's the kicker: not only was The Westies among the most popular titles on the MGM+ following its debut on July 12, but so was Scorsese's movie.
