      Audience Reviews for Godfather of Harlem: Season 2

      • Jul 05, 2023

        Outstanding Performance and Fantastic show. Can't wait for season 3

      • May 11, 2023

        Giancarlo Esposito may be the greatest actor to ever live. OUTSTANDING SHOW

      • Feb 06, 2023

        Perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for, Great script, Great acting.

      • Jul 23, 2022

        This is an all around great production. Two of the best career performances by Forest Whitaker and Vincent D'Onofrio.

      • Apr 26, 2022

        I would have rated this one much higher but there is too much time allotted to dramatizing and preaching civil rights issue(s) and too much time ignoring the blatant racism, in particular antisemitsm, of the Nation of Islam.

      • Feb 11, 2022

        Apart from the main storyline the side stories didn't convince me. For instance, the Stella and Ernie story lack of authenticity, could have been done better.

      • Dec 17, 2021

        I really wanted to like it - mostly because I think Forest Whitaker is one of the greatest actors of his generation. The problem none of the things in this story related to Bumpy Johnson, with the exception of him getting out of prison - actually happened. Italians were not infringing on his territory. He went away on a heroin charge, but in the show he claims heroin wasn't an issue when he went to prison. Bumpy was a bad bad dude, but the show whitewashes his actual life and makes him into some sort of a chivalrous, compassionate hero when he absolutely wasn't.

      • Nov 02, 2021

        This show's an odd duck for me because it intersperses fiction with real life events, partially historic while partially fabricated; The real life Bumpy Johnson hated white people and the Italian mafia hated black people so you have to take this story with a grain of salt, but if you suspend your disbelief and accept this manufactured drama of a black criminal organization working with the Italian mafia then you'll get to enjoy wonderful performances from Forest Whitaker, Vincent D'Onofrio, Nigel Thatch as Malcolm X, and Giancarlo Esposito playing a silver-tongued congressman guiling his way through DC politics, social issues, and representing Harlem.

      • Aug 23, 2021

        This show is a march through history .It intertwines the criminal historical and political culture of its time . Forrest is a force in this depiction of Bumpy Johnson

      • Jul 20, 2021

        Dramatic and exciting.
