Fear City: New York vs the Mafia

If you love stories about the Mob, New York City and the FBI this three episode documentary has it all. The story of how the Mafia ruled NYC in the 70's and 80's and then how the FBI and law enforcement found a way to finally breakthrough and catch them. Fear City is really exciting and a fun watch.

The story of the mob in NY has been told many times but never like this. This series gives the points of view from former mob members, FBI, police, and former attorney's who helped put it all together. Never before told stories of how the mob took over New York City from the Unions, to Concrete, to Buildings, transportation and on and on and on.

Not only do they retell the stories but they reenact the stories as told by the people who did it. How they bugged the houses, the cars, offices, restaurants and more. The details that took place and the specifics on how to do it and what went wrong and how they needed to adjust.

I thought I knew all there was on this but I was wrong. The conversations on the wires are really interesting and the explanation of the hierarchy of the mafia from the Boss to the soldiers and how the 5 families came together to form the commission. It's all so fascinating. You will definitely enjoy it. It's only 3 episodes so it's a quick hitter.
