Crimetown
Description
Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, and our universal desire for a savior. Detroit’s a tough town, and its residents are even tougher. They’ve weathered riots, a drug epidemic, political scandal, and innumerable other hardships, but they’re still here—and they have stories to tell.

Great call on the music.
You could still hear the hatred in his voice. God bless Ms. Jarrod
So glad we got this humanizing, sympathetic story about a mob leader from a doctor/mob mistress. 🙄 Sure he was the Santa claus/boyscout he was portrayed.
None of these guys appear to feel any remorse at all. Bribes, threats, crooked deals, even scamming his own charity!! The mayor's own dad laughing about his son's first jail sentence "oh he's in jail for having some sex" hahaha. Conveniently and easily overlooking the perjury as if lying repeatedly in court is nothing. Yet everytime Kilpatrick gets hit with another new charge he insists that THIS time he's innocent. FFS does he actually think ANYONE believes him? His absolute arrogance is revolting.Even after a 28 year sentence he's still saying it's all a stitch up and he's not guilty. 🤯
Shout out to the Cincy boy respect to you
Please tell me there is another season coming soon?
Best ever

I can do without the personal insights into what the host thinks is moral/immoral. Be objective.

Anyone else think of Kevin Malone by the dead tortoise part? No way I'm the only one.
