Very good series that could have been even better with music from that era

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)

Terrific Cast!

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!

Exceptional!

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

This show is phenomenal.

So much better than expected!

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!

Not for the faint hearted

This is one of the most underrated series. I am surprised the series isn't watched and talked about more. It has two of tv's greats in it- Vincent d'onofrio and Forest Whitaker.

The series follows the Italian and black mafias as they go head to head for the streets of Harlem in the 1960s era. It's an intense and gritty series with non-stop drama. Honestly, never a dull moment but there's some pretty graphic violent scenes that aren't for the faint-hearted.

This series has the potential to make a great film as well. I like how they explore stories from the perspective of Cassius Clay and Malcolm X too!

This is (sort of) a prequel to American Gangster (2007) starring Denzel Washington. In that movie, Washington portrays Frank Lucas, who, in real life, ends up seizing control of the Harlem heroin market and all of Harlem from the 'retiring' Bumpy Johnson portrayed by Forest Whitaker in this series. However, in American Gangster (2007), he was portrayed by Clarence Williams III who is best known for the role of Lincoln 'Linc' Hayes on Twen-Police (1968).
