Godfather of Harlem TV Thread

[Gemma]

Just finished watching this. Overall it was alright.

Felt like I got more of an education of the politics and gangsters of Harlem around the 1960s. Felt like the show would suit people interested in the mob and how it worked more than action.

Nigel Thatch as Malcolm X put in a good performance. Obviously, Forest Whitaker, Vincent D'Onofrio and Giancarlo Esposito brought a lot to the show.

They've just released a trailer for season 2

Rome Flynn Expanding Notorious Drug Lord Frank Lucas' Origin Story in Season 4

Flynn will portray real-life gangster Frank Lucas, who is described by the streamer as "a country boy from North Carolina who ventured to Harlem and, after initial friction with gangster Bumpy Johnson (Forest Whitaker), eventually rose to become Bumpy's fierce defender and right-hand man." Denzel Washington depicted Lucas in the movie American Gangster, but in Godfather of Harlem, his story begins 10 years earlier than in the film.
