Aside from the stories being uninteresting, the episodes being full of weird hippie types and each episode seems to go on forever, Beth Karas just gets more and more grating as time goes on.
Most docuseries have a different "expert" for each car, if not multiples per episode. But they just have Karas through the entire season. She doesn't really add any expertise or first hand knowledge of a case, she just recaps what was said in the prior 4 minutes.
The whole series seems low budget and amateurish. Usually MAX docs are really good, this feels like something from a 2nd rate cable network. Just bad.

Gotti's crew want to be in his favor. Law enforcement want the prestige of being the ones who catch him. Prosecutors want the prestige of being the ones who convict him. Reporters want the prestige of being the ones invited to his parties - more concerned with being seen with him than covering him.
Everyone in the documentary seems to gleefully tell everyone how they were connected to him, whether they were for or against him. The filmmakers could've done more to explain how bad Gotti was. How mob members, neighborhood residents, law enforcement and the legal system were all in a cult-like infatuation with him. Instead it seems they're in the cult, too. It's almost a glorification of the guy.
The end result is you fell like you're watching people talk about that time they once met the cousin of Elvis Presley's barber's dog sitter.
