I wanted to watch Godfather of Harlem but I hear there's no 60s music to match the time period and that's a turnoff to me
Watched the first 2 episodes and got turned off when I starting hear Rick Ross, Dave East and Swizz Beats :gucci:

I'll reserve judgement until I finish the 2nd season though.

I'll say this. Dude who plays Malcolm x on godfather rivals Denzel's performance.

Dude was born to play Malcolm

We had relatives of Malcolm's come to the set one day to watch...relatives and people who knew him really well. Professor James Small went out to see the person and the person said, he is. So the spitting image, I almost, I almost can't watch him. He so beautifully portrays Malcolm and obviously, if Nigel's performance wasn't as strong as it was, the show would suffer immensely. He really is the glue that holds all these different characters together."

thecoli loves hyperbole to tear down popular shows. i've only seen two episodes of Godfather so while i can't say which is better, those of yall acting like snowfall is chitlin circuit tv need to :camby: you don't have to be a decorated actor to be a great TV (character) actor, and all them brehs are playing their roles quite well.

Snowfall (apart from the first season) is a quality show, but I'm enjoying GOH way more so far.

I just hope it doesn't fall off in later seasons if they plan to do any more.

This definitely ain't no unpopular opinion. Snowfall boring as hell. Idk how people can watch it weekly without dying slowly inside
