Awesome. I was recently looking for a good documentary about the beginnings of the mafia, and didn't find anything comprehensive.

Thanks - EW gave this a "B" rating -- They said it has a boardwalk empire vibe to it.. so I just added this to my DVR.

I'm on the fence with this since it resembles Boardwalk Empire too much. For those that watched the first episode, how was it?

I'm trying to watch this now, but I find the dramatization aspect to just be too cheesy. It would be better if it was either a straight documentary or a drama series.

I have been watching this and think this is very well done. I don't mind the dramatization, and like that they are taking the time to build the story - ending the episodes on cliff hangers, etc.
Man did they ever smoke a lot back then
Since the actors have very little dialogue, the show them smoking, and smoking, and smoking.
But this is actually a very good series - I have learned a lot of new things, and look forward to the new episodes.

Yeah, I agree. I already know most of the story but it's an entertaining show.
