Godfather of Harlem

I'm blown away by how good Godfather of Harlem was. I was expecting some cheap knockoff of a show but it's not. This is so well down. You can tell the amount of time and effort they put into every aspect of the show by the attention to detail in everything. The cast is amazing and led by two of the most underrated actors in Hollywood in Forrest Whittaker and Vincent D'Onofrio. It's about the story of Bumpy Johnson (Whitaker), a gangster who makes his way up through to the top of the mob world in Harlem during the 1960's after he returns from a 10-year prison term.. It just got renewed for another season and I can't wait for more!

It's a very entertaining series and overall I liked it a lot. Personally I'd say that the weakest point of the show was the music, so thanks god they didn't play much music.

I'm a hip-hop fan but having hip-hop music on a series about a gangster from the 60's seems way too forced. I unerstand that they do it to make the series more appealing to young people, but I really would have preferred if they used jazz, soul or funk rather than Swizz Beatz, Rick Ross, DMX, Westside Gunn (whose music I might enjoy listening but not when watching a series based on some events from the 60's)

Forrest Whitaker, Vincent D'Onofrio, Giancarlo Esposito... to name a few.

This show is phenomenal.

Godfather of Harlem is so much better than I expected it to be. First of all, the cast is incredible...Forest Whitaker, Vincent D'Onofrio, Giancarlo Esposito, Nigel Thatch, etc. Are all perfectly cast. It sticks to the truth more than most shows and makes every episode exciting. This show will keep you wanting more until before you know it you binged the entire series. I can't wait for more!

Does a great job portraying Family man/ villian. He still resembles characters that we've grown to know and love, but perhaps it's his subtleties and what he doesn't say that helps sell the protagonist . So far so good. Kept me hooked. Looking forward to future episodes.
