Scarface and the Untouchable Season 1

An adaptation of Max Allen Collins and A. Brad Schwartz’s 2018 nonfiction novel about the years-long battle between Prohibition-era Chicago gangster Al Capone and his lawman nemesis Eliot Ness. The show will explore prohibition-era politics, industrialization, mass media, the immigrant experience, law enforcement and the birth of organized crime as it spans from the roaring 1920s into the Great Depression. It will look at how Capone corporatized crime on a level never before imagined, and how revolutionary cop Ness fought an uphill battle to reform law enforcement.
