It takes place during the civil rights movement so it does cover a lot of that but I think it is historically accurate so I wouldn’t describe it as woke or preachy.
No it is an action drama. Gangster show but featuring famous Black gangster Bumpy Johnson who was the head of a major heroin operation in Harlem during the 1960s. The civil rights movement was also going on during this time so the show also prominently features Malcom X who is a friend of Johnsons.
Ahh okay this must be the shows where Forrest is playing Bumpy Johnson. I saw a clip of him looking at painting someone drew of him and I’m like where is this from? Must be this show
It's on Netflix! The plot seems interesting. Not watched it yet but will surely watch.
I am watching on Disney plus but maybe it is also on Netflix.
That's my bad. It's actually on Prime in India. So, no problem gonna watch it there.
I havent seen it yet. I knew it came out. Is it worth watching?
I am enjoying it.
Its not too woke? Im not a fan when the shows are just big advertisements, too.

So, it has a bit of history. I can watch it then. If it's thought provoking, I can watch.

Yes that's it. He does a great job.
I haven't, but a quick Google shows me it's got Forest Whitaker, who I love in almost anything. Adding it to my list.
He is excellent in it.
