Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 11/18/2023
It’s fast-paced, and a little too impressed with Gotti, but the mix of archival footage, wiretap excerpts, and pungent testimony from associates and adversaries is mob lore catnip. Go to Full Review
Graeme Blundell The Australian 11/10/2023
At times it’s all like a symphony of excess mirroring the feel of the eighties, a witty sensory surfeit that never lapses into incoherence or discontinuity, tightly controlled by editor Hugh Williams. Go to Full Review

The result is a production that seems to equally glorify and vilify one of New York's most flamboyant gangsters in a way that's often hard to take seriously. Go to Full Review
Rohan Naahar The Indian Express 10/28/2023
Such is its naked admiration for the mob boss John Gotti, it makes Martin Scorsese’s you-gotta-give-it-to-him attitude in The Wolf of Wall Street feel like an unambiguous indictment. Go to Full Review

Kent P. @kpeters1027 Jan 22 So somehow Scemo Ruggiano Jr, who never was anything or anyone in the mob, is now the expert on the mob. Hilarious. And Rudy Guiliani, who concocted the entire RICO strategy is not mentioned by any of the ‘heroes’ who were involved in the conviction of Gotti. Totally absurd ‘documentary’. See more Rob A @RT76386004 Jun 16 It was very good; I've binged it twice now. See more Alex W @RT65216425 11/26/2023 This was a very complex subject handled exceptionally well. With four trials to over, and different characters involved in each, the producers did a remarkable job of keeping it clear and focused on each event. I find most documentaries to be junk -- biased, lazy, one-sided. This one was an A+ See more Sal D @JustTheLaw 11/06/2023 Good play by play of the cat and mouse between the USG and John Gotti. Like many streaming limited series, this was either too long or not long enough - the script gets into specifics but too narrow to justify the length - however, there definitely is more than enough details to cover a complete picture of John Gotti. The focusing on "getting Gotti" just didn't feel enough to warrant this much time. See more Dan R @RT53832531 11/04/2023 'Get Gotti' continues Netflix's streak of producing exceptional crime documentaries. SYNOPSIS: 'Told from both sides of the law this documentary series from the makers of "Fear City" follows the FBI's battle to bring down infamous mob boss John Gotti.' This documentary captures a fascinating time in true crime history in America and provides recorded evidence which has never been shared with the public before. 'Get Gotti' is truly intriguing and excellent from the first episode and details how this absolute character of a man rose through the ranks of the Mob, how he took power and ultimately how his own errors led to his fall. Potentially the story does glorify Gotti but it also puts focus on, and celebrates, the work of all the agencies involved in trying to put him behind bars over the years until his eventual conviction. Gotti was a flawed genius with a terribly dark side. Insightful and impactful. A historical education. 8/10 See more Shayne o @RT21740446 10/30/2023 Excellent from beginning to end detailing how it all started, how he conquered and ultimately fell. Very intriguing short series.
