Surprisingly, in the world of crime dramas, there haven’t been many films or TV shows specifically focused on the Westies. If you didn’t already know, this was the infamously violent Irish-American gang that ruled the streets of Hell’s Kitchen, New York, during the Ronald Reagan era. “The Westies” actually marks one of the first major scripted dramas centred around the real-life group, making it a relatively fresh subject for TV. Having seen the majority of the series already, I can confidently say it’s intense.
