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.

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.
September 27, 2019
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.

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.
