A new streaming series quickly proves itself to be a must-watch if you’re deep into period crime dramas, with this underdog story based on real events offering a new perspective on organized crime operations. Set in 1980s Hell’s Kitchen, this crime thriller chronicles the rise and fall of one of New York’s most notorious gangs and is perfect for any Taylor Sheridan or Guy Ritchie fan. Hamish Allan-Headley (Mayor of Kingstown), who plays Gambino Family boss John Gotti in The Westies, said exclusively to MovieWeb that the show is also a must-watch for Taylor Sheridan fans. The Westies are not blood-related like the Duttons, but their sense of family is arguably stronger, considering the latter's severed bonds. Simmons is no stranger to villain roles, having played the sadistic white supremacist Vernon Schillinger across six seasons of Oz.
