Synopsis

Bad Blood6 episodes Saterday 9 p.m.* Starring: Anthony LaPaglia, Kim Coates, Enrico Colantoni, Paul Sorvino, Vincent Leclerc, Claudia Ferri and Maxim Roy Vito Rizzuto, the reputed head of the Sicilian Mafia in Canada, oversaw a powerful empire. To ensure a lucrative payday for all, Rizzuto brought peace among the disparate wings of the Montreal crime world – from the Italians and bikers, to the Haitians and Irish. By keeping the peace among rival gangs, while building a network of close contacts within the police and government, the “Teflon Don” ruled over Montreal. But when Rizzuto was suddenly arrested and extradited to a Colorado prison for the 1981 murders of three members of New York's Bonanno crime family, his imprisonment left a power vacuum that was not easily filled. A clever blend of reality and fiction, Bad Blood is the story of family, loyalty, deceit, power and ultimately revenge, as Rizzuto's release from prison would set off a vendetta spree. *Subject to change without notice.
