There is so much material available here that it would be amazing if done right. You got the Westies hooked up with the Gambinos and if someone like David Simon worked with T.J. English (who wrote The Westies book) to create this world again it could be excellent.

If you used some artistic license and included Boston and Whitey Bulger you have even more. You could do Sopranos all over again with Whitey instead of Tony. Whitey going from FBI informant to handling his handlers is an amazing story in itself.



Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
