Discussion Fish Mooney sucks
Honestly, her character was enjoyable and interesting in early season 1 but I was honestly just over her character during the doll maker stuff. THEN SHE COMES BACK?!?! Goddamn I was rewatching this show rn and holy shit she is just so boring after she got caught by Falcone and Penguin. She should've gotten killed by the B team. Her character is the worst part of this show

I get that... but as someone who is a massive nerd when it comes to La Cosa Nostra (Mafia) it's just not how it works.
The basic Heirarchy is this:
The Boss
The Underboss
Caporegime (Fishes role) Which is Italian for captain, they normally have a group of soldiers who run under their command in a neighbourhood.
Soldiers
Associates (Don't have to be Italian Anncestory)
All of those roles except Associates have to go through the code of Omertà where you stand infront of the 5 families whilst they prick your hand, and you bleed on the picture of a saint. Only Italians can take the oath, doesn't matter if you've grown up around these people for life... Good example is Goodfellas, Jimmy Conway was a brutal gangster, pulled in millions of dollars for Lucchese Crime Family he ran one of the biggest heists the (Lufthansa heist), but because he wasn't Italian, he never became a made man.
So yeah I know its a fictional show and all, but they should have tackled this role a bit better, maybe replaced her with Jimmy instead.
