[[WhatCouldHaveBeen It was first reported to be broadcasted under the title ''L.A.

Both of these are just "plot happens" shoehorned into Reality Ensues.

** While some mobsters are told to bust places with bats and not kill people, one of their victims ends dying of trauma anyway.
** [[spoiler: An eyewitness to a double assassination fails to identify the killer, despite him having looked in the eye and spoken directly to her.]]

* FollowTheLeader[=/=]SpiritualSequel: While ''Mob City'' goes for a Noir feel and takes place 20 years after on the opposite coast, it is impossible to not make comparisons with HBO's ''Series/BoardwalkEmpire''. Its debut two weeks after the end of ''Boardwalk'''s fourth season might be an attempt to gather some of its viewers... and the scene in "Red Light" when Siegel is saying that Atlantic City is History and "this" (meaning Las Vegas) is "something different" could be interpreted as a commentary from the writers asking those viewers to keep the two shows apart.
* ForWantOfANail / MinorCrimeRevealsMajorPlot : The series begins with Hecky Nash's attempt to bribe Teague into acting as his bodyguard while blackmailing Mickey Cohen. Then [[spoiler: Teague murders Nash.]] And everything else spirals from there.
