El padrino de 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!

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

This show is phenomenal.

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.

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!

This series is great, one of the best! It is so realistic that you almost live in it. Gigante and Bumpy ( D'Onofrio and Whitaker) are absolutely fantastic, what a bunch of actors, not to mention the rest of the actors, who are many, absolutely wonderful.!!!

It's not just about two enemy gangs, the mafia, drugs and Harlem, it's much more than that. The story is very well detailed, full of political history based on true events, you learn a lot. The political part is not boring since it is explained in a simple way so that everyone can understand it. Nothing complicated. The costumes, the cars, the atmosphere of the 60s, everything perfectly measured, wonderful...!

The combination of real images in black and white is a true wonder!

The political messages, the tension, the action, the dialogues... everything is of great quality in my opinion.

I don't give it a ten simply because of the choice of music. There is soooo much good music from the 60's that I don't understand the choice. Please next time more jazz, soul, gospel... there is so much good musical history in Harlem!
