Description: American crime drama seriese was the first of its kind, set during the Roaring 20s, preceding The Untouchables by half a season. The series depicts the activities of real-life police detective Barney Ruditsky as he fights organized crime in New York City. Its original title was Ruditsky. The show had a certain claim to authenticity in its meticulous attention to period detail and in depicting actual cases on which Ruditsky worked. Unlike other police dramas of its time, The Lawless Years focuses more on character studies than on action.
