Ciudad del Miedo: Nueva York vs. La mafia

As is the case with most Netflix documentaries this is a ninety minutes programme stretched out to three hours,what little interest remains after the first hour it just withers away,shame really,could have been good

So what if it have been told before? But it's a little boring.

I'm unsure as to why so many people on this platform are being so harsh to what I perceived to be a very solid and interesting documentary. A lot of people are saying. " Well it's nothing I've not seen or heard before." That may well be the case and it's the case if many documentaries on certain types of topics. I.e ww2 documentaries. They all are the same at the core because the events can only be described in so many ways. This documentary told the facts of the mob bosses in a very clear way and spoke with many of the key individuals involved in said take down. I'm not sure if this has been down before. So I can't judge. A lot of people also complained about the overly artsy style of having video of 1980s new york in the background and having videos of tape reels playing. Honestly you need something playing and breaks up from simply seeing the people being interviewed. My advice is at least watch the first 15 mins if the first episode. By then you'll know if you want to turn it off or not.

The show was fast paced with focus on subject matter. Although dragged to few episodes but it was ok as the focus was on the fbi and the mob and the lawyers. Thank God we didn't have to hear what the lawyers did when they were young etc.. lots of archival footage, audios and pictures. Overall entertaining.

I enjoyed this documentary series and watched it on one go. The amount of research that was done to make it must have been staggering. It's nice to know that the US justice system works sometimes. Huge respect to all agents involved in dissolving the mafia in NYC.
