Can you remember the name of the documentary? Need to feed the obsession.

I have seen dozens, there used to be a cable channel that showed nothing but back to back to back mob / cop shows back when Southpark was wmaking fun of Murder Porn.

Very similar to the history channel where you had multiple productions talking about the same thing from different angles and they always bring in the same experts - but to be fair the experts are guys like journalists who covered mob events for fifty years, federal proseucutors like Rudy Guliani, etc. Selwyn Raab is great at telling these stories, look up his name, he is in all of them as the Shelby Foote of the Underworld.

The Mafia's Greatest Hits was one
Mobsters

What streaming service do you use, I'll recce the area for you.

Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime are all holding some decent shows. Let me know if you find something you like, or if you can't find what you are looking for.
 
Thanks! I’m not familiar with Roberto Saviano.

I agree Men of Honour: Truth about the Mafia is a great book.
 
Despite the fact the title invokes the Sicilian Mob directly, it is open to discussion of all criminal organizations.

I always meant to read Raab's 'Five Families'. Is it good?

There is a TV show called "Kojak" starring Telly Savalas.

They took Selwyn Raabs life story, made him a cop rather than an investigative journalist in NYC during the sixties and seventies, and there you go.

Raab has stories for days, and excellent perspective when telling them of how skilled these gangsters were while showing their cover stories to be morally bankrupt men who have a way of dying by violence at the hands of their best friends.

I do remember Kojak, but did not know the back story. I ordered Five Families from Amazon USA. Amazon UK wanted £74...
