For mob fans that might of missed out, check out “the Deuce” on HBO. Follows the porn/prostitution scene in NYC during the 70s/80s. Sucks this was the last season as it’s written by the writers from The Wire.

As far as Capone, I feel like a series that covers the Chicago Outfit from his peak up until the 80s would be awesome. The Outfit never gets credit. However, the Outfit had major pull in Hollywood and Vegas and then you have JFK and Sam Giancana.

After Capone started getting so much attention, Torrio (now back in NYC) told him to lay low because the commission (Luciano etc we’re considering taking him out). Luciano wouldn’t speak to Capone anymore and dealt with Paul Ricca. Ricca/Accardo ran the Outfit when they had the most pull but no one talks about them.
