Anyone watching Animal Kingdom on Netflix. It's about a California crime family led

by their mother "Smurf" played buy Ellen Barkin. I almost finished the 3rd season, Ellen Barkin plays the
character you love to hate. She is ruthless b----- that cares about nobody but herself, her boys do all the dirty work
and she rips them off. So far she had one son's wife murdered and then had the son killed. She went to jail for a while
but beat the charges and is back home now taking out her revenge.

In Australia though, they made a movie about the family before the series came around
