HBO’s The Sopranosmay not be just one of the greatest shows on this list, but one of the greatest of all time – as it is often hailed as, and with several prestigious accolades to back that up! Set in both New Jersey and New York City, the show focuses on the Italian-American mafia operating in that jurisdiction and the man at the center of it all:...
All fictional crime groups are likely to have some basis in reality, or at least have several points of similarity. That’s exactly the case with the gang at the center of the hit series Peaky Blinders, which follows the Shelby crime family based in Birmingham, England. Though loosely, the Shelby family is based on the real-life street gang from whi...
The Netflix original series Narcosis another with its basis in historical events and a very recognizable figure in the organized crime game: Pablo Escobar. Escobar is known for having built his empire through the production and massive trafficking of cocaine from Colombia into the United States from the 1970sto the early 90s. Because of his wealth ...
Narcos: Mexicowas meant to be the fourth season of the parent series, but an executive decision was made to produce it as a separate series entirely. Where Narcos outlined the rise of the Colombian drug trade, Narcos: Mexico did the same for, well, the Mexican drug trade. Much like the original series, Narcos: Mexicofocuses on a real-life drug cart...
HBO has a knack for churning out stellar, award-winning series, and Boardwalk Empireis one to add to that list.

Johnson). Nucky...

There’s just something about an underdog anti-hero, I supp...
After the Second World War, cities began the painstaking process of rebuilding. In Los Angeles, there’s an influx of new and old talent looking to start over. Underneath all the glitz and glamor, however, the dark criminal underbelly of the city was starting to grow, too. TNT’s Mob Cityis based on the novel L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of A...
We all know better than to make a deal with the mob. Some might even say you’d be better off making a deal with the devil himself. But desperate times call for desperate measures and the protagonist of the Starz period drama Magic City, Ike Evans, certainly was desperate. It’s the late 1950s in Miami, Florida, in the aftermath of the Cuban Revoluti...
FX’s Sons of Anarchyis a bit of a different one from the previous shows on the list; the group at the center isn’t the type that’ll pop into your head immediately despite their intimidating presence both in the United States and around the world. The group is called the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original, or SAMCRO, a gun-running vigi...
Even after Sons of Anarchy ended its run on FX, the show had garnered a big enough following to warrant a spin-off.

Taking from its name, Mayans M.C.primarily follows the Mayans Motorcycle Club, which f...
