ETR~I agree. They may be heavy-handed name dropping, but it adds to the episodes greatly. Rothstein and the "Black Sox" World Series scandal was real. Spoiler alert: when Chalky had the three guys on their knees and guns to their heads, I knew the Maier Lansky(sp) character could not be killed because he became a very infamous, household name in U.S. history. I'm still wondering who Jimmy will turn out to be? Diamond Jim Brady? And, of course, Lucky Luciano didn't die until he was an old man.
Is a name like "Al Capone" well known in your country? If so, why?
