Perspectives on AMC's "Making of the Mob"
AMC's ongoing miniseries... This was written by a guest columnist for Cosa Nostra News.... The AMC miniseries " Making of the Mob: New York " will be be shown over the next two months, highlighting the history of the American Mob and making it a topic of discussion around many water coolers. Movies like Goodfellas and Donnie Brasco, mixed with The Sopranos, and other guilty pleasures such as Vh1’s Mob Wives and previously high-rated exploits like Growing Up Gotti have always generated huge interest referencing the affects that the Mafia has had on pop culture. Making of the Mob: New York is an eight-part docudrama chronicling the rise of successors like Carlo Gambino , John Gotti, “Lucky” Luciano, Frank Costello and many more who have inspired countless hit films and TV stories- oftentimes glamorizing the reality behind the myths and every generation’s fascination with the major head bosses of the most infamous crime families.
