The AMC docu-drama The Making of the Mob is back and this time, it’s headed to Chicago for an in-depth look at the Chicago Mafia also known as the Chicago Outfit.
The new series will chronicle the rise and fall of infamous mobster Al Capone along with the story of his successors in the Chicago mob. You can watch The Making of the Mob: Chicago premiere Monday, July 11th at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The eight-episode series will give watchers a look into the history of the mafia in Chicago and some of its violent past as the cities underworld evolved. The series airs on what AMC has labeled as Mob Mondays!
The docu-drama series began last year with “The Making of the Mob: New York” which focused on the American Mafia families located there. It followed the life of Charles “Lucky” Luciano considered by many to be the father of modern organized crime in New York along with other Cosa Nostra leaders in the cities history. The miniseries first run received favorable reviews from the vast majority of its audience. It should be an entertaining look into one of the countries most infamous organized crime organization still in operation today.
The New York version of this was okay! It had some highs and lows and kind of dragged at some points but over all was pretty entertaining. I look forward to watching this Chicago series as well and think it may end up being better then the NY one over all.
It would be really cool if they do others like Philly, New Jersey, and maybe even others after the Chicago one.
Oh yea that would be interesting esp Philly!
And Vegas, you can’t forget about Vegas!
Hopefully we get some Tony Accordo action in this one.
Indeed , Hopefully there is as much more modern day info as their is historical going all the way back to Capone.
As one who just moved to Chicago, I’d be really interested to see what modern day information is out there.
The outfit has gone through some changes in last couple years there is a new boss in charge now and its kind of had to hunker down and operate as a smaller entity then its past. But they are still doing business and earning.
Anyone know if the first season is available anywhere else besides AMC? DVD, online, etc. I don’t have AMC, but I would love to still find it elsewhere if possible.
