About the docuseries
Recent documentaries about John Gotti, the series about Pablo Escobar…criminals have a proven record of success on Netflix, just as they have throughout the history of cinema. In this series, we’ll have the opportunity to learn fascinating anecdotes about their lives and how they became the iconic figures of organized crime that are still remembered today.
The best part of the series is the voice of the actor from “Game of Thrones,” who knows how to give the right tone and irony to this manual on becoming a mafioso and what the great criminals did to become who they were.
The formula works, as we have already seen in another docuseries on cults from this series. It is highly entertaining to watch, and, as has been proven for a century, stories of criminals and mobsters captivate audiences because, deep down, and as the documentary rightly points out, they are individuals who have known how to bend the rules.
And deep down, it’s a little bit of what everyone desires.
Enjoy it.
