The Music & Narration Ruin This Series


A lot of people are complaining (justifiably) that the ever-swelling, loud musical crescendos are annoying, but the narration isn't much better.

Imagine if ... someone was ... telling you a great story ... and constantly took ... pauses for ... an obviously contrived ... dramatic effect ... how annoying ... that would be. Seriously, what is up with the narration style? The narrator's voice is fine, but the constant pauses become so annoying.

Furthermore, this docudrama gets so many things wrong, such as the Costello hit from Vincent Gigante. The hit occurred while Costello was walking to an elevator, not in an elevator, and the reason why Costello lived wasn't "a miracle," as the show states. It was because Gigante yelled, "This is for you, Frank!" before he shot him, thus making Costello turn his head, causing the bullet to barely graze him.

Respect your viewers more, AMC!
