In 1971, mob boss Joe Colombo is so brazen that he takes on the FBI itself, but other bosses don't like the publicity. When Colombo is shot, it marks the beginning of a sea of change in the mob as a new generation of gangsters and law enforcement officials go head to head in the streets of New York City. Inside the American Mob reveals the little-known but pivotal escapades, capers and cadavers that truly compose the history of the mob in America.Episodes include: Stayin' Alive in the 70s, Operation Donnie Brasco, New York-Philly War, End Game, and Rise and Fall of Gotti.

For me it's the best look into the downfall of the mob
For me it's the best look into the downfall of the mob. It focuses mostly in the 70's to 90's but does cover a little bit of earlier and later periods. But it is during the 20 year period from the 70s-90s that the mob will fall as the commission that Lucky Luciano started is dismantled causing the mob to never be as large and controlling as it once was.Great interviews by people on both sides who where there and just an overall great production quality makes for one of if not the best documentaries on the mob.

New-ish Faces
I enjoy mafia documentaries and watch them frequently, which is why it was nice to see some new faces interviewed and not just the same experts used in other shows.

Excellent show! If you want to learn about La Cosa Nostra this is the show for you. Hear first hand stories from both the criminals and those that took them on.
