It's a lot of true stories mixed with fiction and fictional characters. It's even a more fun show the 2nd watch through. When you appreciate the characters and actors more thoroughly. Who's the show stealer? For me it's Dominic Chianese (Uncle Jr).

Paulie was a legit criminal.

​

Sirico was convicted of several crimes and was arrested 28 times, including for disorderly conduct, assault, and robbery, before taking up acting.[3][6] On February 27, 1970, he was arrested at a restaurant, and found with a .32 caliber revolver on his person. In 1971, he was indicted for extortion, coercion, and felony weapons possession, convicted, and sentenced to four years in prison, of which he served 20 months at Sing Sing.[7][8][9]
