Not sure why it gets low ratings. Is it the best show ever? Hardly. But it is very entertaining. I saw someone gave it 1 star saying the writers must not have been within 200 miles of Chicago. Ridiculous. They only thing the show hasn't gotten right about the city is the scoreboard in the right field bleachers in Wrigley. They even got the inside of Gene and Georgettis reasonably close. And who cares? Its not a documentary. Worth a watch. Maybe a rewatch.
