When you put scene-stealing actors like JK Simmons and Titus Welliver together in a crime drama series, you're always going to get an audience's attention, especially when the former is playing an Irish mob boss in the heart of a crime-ridden Hell's Kitchen in 1980s New York. 
Across eight episodes of "The Westies" we will see the titular crime gang try to elevate their status and take down their rivals, while facing pressure from the mafia, the FBI, and from within, too. 
If you're ready to get stuck into the chaos, read on and find out how to watch "The Westies" online from anywhere in the world.
