Jul 31, 2020Bunch of FBI agents and mobsters, way past their primes jerking each other off. Some interesting footage, audio, and history, but ultimately ruined by a lot of self-congratulation on both sides. The o e guy turned state's evidence. How is he alive?

Jul 27, 2020I feel like I have seen almost all of this before. Some of the specific stories detailing the exploits of the investigators was enjoyable and played out almost like a suspense thriller (even though you know the ending). But how many times do we have to get Micheal Franzese telling the same stories. If you know anything about this era, there isnt much more here.

Jan 21, 2021An entertaining and at times compelling look into organised crime and also NYC in the 1970's & 80's.
Can be dry at times but on the whole an informative docu-series.

The series works best as a clinical dissection of how this happened both from a conceptual standpoint in terms of formulating the case and piecing the puzzle together, and from a practical one. ... The documentary feels perilously thin for such a rich subject. "Fear City" would benefit from being longer and more in depth than just three episodes.

A slick, engaging, well put-together documentary series that neatly skims the surface of Federal efforts to bring down the Five Families who made up The Commission — the organizers who made “organized crime” a phrase all of America was all too familiar with.

Something as pulpy and cinematic as cops chasing criminals should be loaded with juicy stories. Fear City somehow manages to both be far too simplistic and utterly lost in its own weeds. ... There’s a place in the world for uncomplicated nostalgia for the old days. But it should never be as vapid, or dull, as Fear City.
