Flipped: A Mobster Tells All, a documentary series that premiered on the Discovery Channel in 2010, explores the world of organized crime from a unique perspective. The show is hosted by Louis Ferrante, a former member of a New York City crime syndicate who turned his back on the mafia and became a best-selling author and television personality.

Over the course of six episodes, Flipped delves deep into the inner workings of the mob, as Ferrante shares his personal experiences and insights into the life of a made man. From his first brush with the law as a teenager to his rise through the ranks of the mafia, Ferrante offers a candid and compelling look at the world of organized crime that is both informative and entertaining.

The show is divided into six episodes, each of which explores a different aspect of the mafia lifestyle. In the first episode, "The Life", Ferrante introduces viewers to the world of organized crime and describes the various roles and responsibilities of mobsters, from associates to made men. He also discusses the importance of loyalty, respect, and honor within the mafia, and shares his own experiences of earning his place among the ranks.

In the second episode, "The Boss", Ferrante turns his attention to the top of the mafia hierarchy and discusses the role of the boss, as well as the inner workings of a crime family. He shares stories of some of the most notorious mob bosses in history, including John Gotti and Al Capone, and provides insight into the power struggles and turf wars that define the world of organized crime.

The third episode, "The Enforcer", focuses on the muscle of the mafia – the enforcers and hitmen who carry out the orders of the boss. Ferrante describes the training and preparation that goes into becoming an enforcer, as well as the psychological toll of taking a life. He also shares his own experiences of carrying out hits for his crime family, and the emotions that came with the job.

In the fourth episode, "The Rat", Ferrante discusses one of the most controversial topics in the world of organized crime – the informant. He describes the various reasons that a mobster might turn informant, from fear for his life to a desire for revenge, and shares his own thoughts on the subject. Ferrante also speaks with former FBI agents and prosecutors who have dealt with informants in their work.

The fifth episode, "The Mole", explores the world of undercover agents – the people who risk their lives to bring down organized crime from the inside. Ferrante describes the challenges and dangers of working as an undercover agent, and talks to former agents who have infiltrated crime families and helped take them down.

In the final episode, "The Getaway", Ferrante discusses the challenges and consequences of leaving the mafia lifestyle behind. He talks about the difficulties of getting out and staying out of the crime world, and shares his own story of how he was able to turn his life around and leave the mafia behind for good.

Throughout the series, Ferrante's storytelling style is engaging, informative, and at times, humorous. He effortlessly weaves anecdotes from his own life into the larger narrative, and provides a unique perspective on a subject that has long fascinated audiences. Flipped: A Mobster Tells All is a must-see for anyone interested in the mafia lifestyle, true crime, or the criminal underworld more broadly.
