96/150 Overall, I enjoyed this true story of crime, corruption, greed and murder, but at times it was confusing because many of the names sounded similar, and the tangled web of connections to various Mafia crime families.
The ending was unsatisfying, no one really seemed to be punished for the crime or the various murders connected with the case. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫
