Fox Nation Unveils Irresistible New Series on America’s Most Infamous Mobsters

America’s fascination with mobsters is no secret, from iconic films like "The Godfather" to groundbreaking TV dramas like "The Sopranos." Now, Fox Nation is taking a bold step into the world of organized crime with two gripping new series: "Frank Costello: The Real Life Godfather" and "Mob Mentality: Louis Ferrante." Hosted by Fox News senior correspondent Eric Shawn, these documentaries promise an unvarnished look at the lives of two very different crime figures.

Frank Costello, famously dubbed the "Prime Minister of the Underworld," was a towering figure in 20th-century New York City organized crime. From his partnership with the notorious Charlie "Lucky" Luciano during Prohibition to his enduring influence even after retirement, Costello’s story is the stuff of legend. He might have left the day-to-day operations of the Luciano Crime Family, but he stayed a consigliere of sorts until his death. Honestly, if you’re going to be a mobster, Costello seems to have written the playbook.

In stark contrast, Louis Ferrante’s story is one of transformation. Once a Gambino crime family member notorious for masterminding multimillion-dollar heists, Ferrante hit rock bottom during his years in prison. But instead of staying there, he picked up over a thousand books, educated himself, and even converted to Judaism. Talk about a plot twist worthy of Hollywood.

Eric Shawn, who has a reputation for diving deep into the murky waters of crime reporting (remember his work on the Jimmy Hoffa mystery?), brings his signature style to these interviews. He explained his approach to dealing with mob figures: "If they have a sense of respect or that you try to treat them with a sense of respect when you're covering them, you know you're not going to rat them out." That’s a level of diplomacy that could make a U.N. ambassador blush.

Shawn’s conversation with Ferrante is particularly compelling. The former mobster opened up about his past life, the 13 years he spent behind bars, and the profound turning points that led him to a new path. Ferrante’s story of self-reform is inspiring, to say the least, especially when you consider he was once accused of plotting the largest heist in American history.

Fox Nation subscribers can stream both series now, gaining an inside look at the world of the mob and the redemptive arc of one of its former members. Shawn summed up the offerings perfectly: "It’s a fascinating inside look at what it’s like to be in the mob and, at the same time, rehabilitate your life." If that doesn’t sound like an offer you can’t refuse, I don’t know what does.
