I have mixed feelings about this series. I think the content of each separate series is educational, there were previous ones about how to become a cult leader, and how to become a dictator. If you have never read anything about the mafia or other organized crime groups, it is a good introduction. Even if you have read a bit about the topic or seen a few movies or documentaries, things in it that are new for you. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, I really don't like the way it's presented. I know it's tongue in cheek, and most likely no one is going to use this to go out and become a mob boss, put isn't it possible to produce an entertaining documentary about the same topic without the silliness? I think it is, fictional movies have no problem handling the topic well. Why is it so hard with documentaries? I think maybe because the field of serious documentaries has been taken up by true Crime, so that doesn't leave a lot of space for serious crime documentaries that are not about sensationalistic murders. But on the other hand, there are a lot of good documentaries about cults, so why can't they make a good serious documentary about organized crime? So it's worth your time, don't be surprised if you find it irritating.
