It is a series of criminal events that tell about Bumpy Johnson is a dangerous criminal. In the early 1960s, Johnson returned to find the neighborhood he once ruled on a dangerous chaotic path. Bumpy must regain control by eliminating the Genovese crime family. Johnson formed an alliance with radical preacher Malcolm X to access these schemes.
At least by then we know what the ceiling looks like for Godfather of Harlem. If it can't be The Sopranos or Boardwalk Empire it can be something less while still entertaining those who like mob stories.
It's a promising setup, but the show doesn't build on it after the opening episode. The story starts to veer off into tangents that are melodramatic, distractingly implausible, or both.
Godfather Of Harlem has fine performances and mostly sharp writing, making good use of the real-life historical figures that are the show's characters.
Godfather of Harlem falls deep into the foundation of racism and how drugs and Harlem itself became a staging ground for a war that is still being waged today.
