Hey guys not sure if there is a topic on this already but I'm watching it right now on AMC wanted to know the NY guys take on how real it is historically?
There is a discussion on this show in another thread but since this thread is solely dedicated to the documentary I'll let this stand (the other thread started out as a discussion on other subjects).
Personally I think this show is OK, but just OK. It takes some liberties with known facts** but generally it is based on known information about the Mob and most of us on this board probably won't learn anything new.

two examples that come to mind now are this documetary shows Arnold Rothstein being shot in the street and that's not true; AND Lucky Luciano being kidnapped while walking down the street with Meyer Lansky, and likewise, that isn't true either.Overall, I think most of us who like mob stuff will enjoy the show.
