The three-and-a-half-hour Netflix film could have definitely been a miniseries. As the movie follows Frank Sheeran's life from being a truck driver to a prominent hitman, a series can provide more detail on important events, character arcs, and the evolution of the mob world. The episodic portrayal could focus on different phases of Sheeran's life and his relationships with Russell Bufalino and Jimmy Hoffa.
