I absolutely love this show. I am anxiously awaiting season 2. The only reason I have a subscription to Epix is to be able to watch this show. I am intrigued by the lifestyle of the 60's gangsters. I am very impressed with the guy who plays Malcolm X he is spot on. All of the characters are played in a way that makes you believe they are truly that person. Forest Whitaker is spot on as Bumpy Johnson. All around this is by far my favorite of all of the dramas that have been made.
The only negative is the sound track. Why use rap music that is sub par, when during this era there was the best music ever recorded being made. The 60's and 70's soul, blues and rock music should be the sounds used to put the nail in the coffin and stamp this show as a revolutionary classic.
