Ty'Kira Smalls Common Sense Media Fans of its predecessor series, like How to Become a Cult Leader and How to Become a Tyrant will enjoy this. Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) The predecessors to this series were less than watchable, but this one contains unexpected jewels of insight... Feb 5, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider How To Become A Mob Boss does a good job or presenting capsule histories of various organized crime bosses in a fun format, even if it does have to make though choices on what part of that history they can to dive into and what to skim.

Amir S Interesting and witty series, recommend watching. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Xomi F Just as fun as How to Become a Tyrant. Don't expect details. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Saby s Awful. Was really looking forward to this as I love mafia movies and documentaries. Was disappointed in the first 2 minutes. 1.Narration is terrible!! Script, voice, tone and diction is like a cartoon and really offputting. Later found out it was Peter Dinklage, sad.. I love the guy. Must have been paid a lot to do this. 2. Visuals; use of Stock videos and cheap AI type generated animations makes it look and feel like a standard Tiktok or Youtube Short made by online amateurs trying to make quick cash. 3. Storyline, nothing new to learn. All the details are as if taken from Wikipedia. I just kept watching to see how much worse it can get. Not much actually, just consistently bad throughout. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
