What happens

Mobsters is an American documentary television series which aired on The Biography Channel. It profiles the lives of criminals, often deceased, from the point of view of their former associates or pursuers. Some episodes of Mobsters are rehashes of the similar TV series American Justice as well as Notorious, both series that were originally broadcast on Biography Channel's sister channel, A&E Network; some episodes also rehashed segments from another A&E series American Gangster, which began airing on the Black Entertainment Television (BET) channel. The only differences are the intro of the episodes and the lead-in's after commercials. Besides this, the rehashed episodes are no different in any way. It's narrated by John Lurie.
