- The show broadens Netflix's slate of high-profile dramas and expands Scorsese’s TV portfolio with an in-city drama set in modern Vegas.
- The project ties into Scorsese’s broader Las Vegas gambling interest, echoing his past works and casino-centric storytelling.
- Past TV contributions from Scorsese include Boardwalk Empire and Vinyl; he’s also developing Cape Fear for Apple TV, underscoring a broader TV footprint.
