In its fourth season, something about Godfather of Harlem feels like the passion is gone. At this point, we’re getting repetitive storylines about Bumpy (Forest Whitaker) trying to rebuild Harlem for the black community, his battle with the Italians, the drug game, racial tensions, and Stella (Lucy Fry) trying to assert herself with the Five Families. Also, Whitaker seems to be over playing this character, emanating a palpable lack of interest with his performance. The additions of historical figures like Frank Lucas (Rome Flynn), James Baldwin (Michael Benjamin Washington), and Afeni Shakur (Devin Kessler) add some new blood, but it might be too little too late.
