The real Donnelly family story is pretty wild. The Donnelly Album by Ray Fazakas is a great read with lots of grainy pictures of tough looking characters and a very detailed account of what went on before, during, and after the murders.

Yeah that is what I was thinking after seeing those previews...I saw them on Global and thought for sure it was a Canadian program.
I have a funny feeling these TV "gangsters" will look like choirboys when compared the real Black Donnellys...from everything I have read they were a nasty, bad a** bunch.
