“There’s no place for us out there.” - Kathy

I never want to live that mob lyfe.

Mob stories typically provide for an entertaining yarn, but I will always much prefer watching these tales from the outside rather than being “in”. Observing the portrayals of gangsters in many films and TV programs has taught me that the life of a “Tony Soprano” type fella just seems way too high anxiety for me. Although, after watching Andrea Berloff’s The Kitchen, the same could be said for the life of a woman in nineteen seventy eight, Hell’s Kitchen - whether you are living that mob lyfe or not.
