Mob Mondays: AMC ‘The Making of the Mob: New York’ to Premier June 15

AMC is set to premier an eight-part docuseries as part of “Mob Mondays. “The Making of the Mob: New York” airs June 15 at 10 pm ET and continues over the two-month period.

Ray Liotta narrates the series, which includes dramatic reenactments, archival footage and exclusive interviews.

Mob figures that will be profiled include the infamous Charles “Lucky” Luciano, who we suppose wasn’t all that lucky, being that the bootlegger went on to catch the Clap, which in those days there was not really a cure for.

Meyer Lansky, the Jewish Mob boss, is also profiled. He was the “Mob’ Accountant” and inspiration for the Hyman Roth character in “The Godfather: Part II”.

Bugsy Siegel, Vito Genovese and Frank Costello are just a few of the other Mob folks who will be profiled for the series.

You don’t want to miss this one.
