  "They tried to bury us. They didn't know we were seeds" a very beautiful quote written by Dinos Christianopoulos. Crime doesn't pay, but we'll sure pay to watch crime! Crime dramas, that is. There's nothing better than watching mafia's stories, and there's no shortage of great murder mysteries and crime drama series.

The best gangster shows, of course, present us with complex characters in difficult situations that question commonly held beliefs about morality.
