Eight episodes on Hulu. Some great acting by Michael Keaton, Kaitlyn Deaver, Mare Winingham, and Rosario Dawson among others. There was also Michael Stuhlbarg (Richard Sackler) and Phillipa Soo as villains to which you'll respond as appropriate to villains.
The story is actually real simple. A rich family gets richer by being as evil as any mob family and rich enough to buy their way out. In the end, the family members never really suffer personal or financial pain.
THAT will piss you off.
