TV-MASeason 1
Five crime families. One shot at taking them down.
Synopsis
Fear City: New York vs The Mafia (2020), Season 1 — watch online on iFILM. Three Netflix episodes on how the FBI did the seemingly impossible: dragging all five heads of New York's mob families into a single courtroom.
Episode one: 1970s New York, the Commission runs everything, and agents find their opening in an obscure federal statute — RICO — backed by aggressive wiretapping. Episode two: the FBI plants bugs in the rooms where the bosses meet, and Rudy Giuliani steps in as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District. Episode three: prosecutors try to tie the Commission as an entity to a single gangland murder — proof of conspiracy that puts every boss away at once. Former Colombo captain Michael Franzese and FBI veterans speak without a script, and that candor is what separates this from standard crime-history TV.
