What do you think? Do you like the Godfather of Harlem TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
Great show and love the cast of characters. Love the 60’s settings with Italian and black mobsters.
I look forward to Godfathers of Harlem each week and cannot wait for another season to begin. Every actor on this show plays their part exceptionally well. The writers make it so interesting to watch.
The godfather of Harlem is the only reason that I watch Epix.
are you kidding me? why would you cancel such a historical representation of life during some of the most troubled times in America! in this modern world that is another repeat of the same thing, this show touched on some of the most important movements in history. shame on you for being to. weak to show the truth!
Very good show…Can understand most of because I was born and raised in Harlem
Godfather of Harlem is one show on EPIX I look forward to watching. Forrest Whitaker is great.
Outstanding show & cast!
