[@robertjaime6808]

It’s kinda hard to give this show any love when it’s not based on real facts! It’s just another entertainment show.

[@MarcusM334]

The casting for Elijah, Malcolm, and Ali was spot on

[@JetseTurner]

The casting director did a good job.

[@NDB82]

💯💯💯

[@yaheard215]

The casting director didn't do a good job, if that person did they wouldn't have allowed certain people to play these parts. In other words they would've hired REAL WOMEN to play these roles.... "NOT MEN"!! The one playing "Johnson's wife" (MAYME JOHNSON) is a man, the little romance with the fictional characters (STELLA) so called daughter is a man. The child playing as the daughter (MARGARET JOHNSON) is a little boy and the older (ELISE) one too! Hollywood constantly throwing their agenda in our faces with manipulation. Come on now, the one playing as "Gigante" daughter (STELLA) you can see that's a man clear as day. If you're going to do something do it right not with this sick agenda attached to it.

[@drphot6050]

Pretty cool vid… I’m always checking the wiki’s and imdb’s on the actors and actresses of my favorite shows and films with Black leads. The stories show black love being depicted. But wildly enough how many of them are either biracial/bipoc or are in interracial relationships.

hi there. will they make a 3d season with Franck LUCAS ?

[@summertrue]

Yes, Production is starting this summer (as far as Frank Lucas being in it, we dont know yet )

Great show but it's mostly fiction

[@quetzcoatl80]

I started watching this show and now I have made a commitment to finish. But don’t get it wrong, I continue to watch not because it’s that good, it’s because I need to see it through. It’s not horrible and for sure it’s not good! It’s takes time away from a boring day, it’s the best way to explain it. It’s 99.5% of the plot is of course not true. Bumpy stopped the bombing of a untied Nations meeting! LoL!! The acting is subpar at best. I like Forest, but this is by far has to be his worst! He was way too old to cast, he can barely move or have control of the spit drooling from his mouth when he talks…. Even the Sopranos which was loosely based on a true mafia family was a bit more accurate and better acting!

[@kyhxx]

2:47 He might be fictional with the name. However his character was real. He is portraying Greg Scarpa…. Well at least the story when he was sent to track down the killers of the 3 freedom fighters. That was a real event!!!!

[@theportugueselegend]

Based on that event sure. But it's not Greg Scarpa, or else he would be a snitch, a big time hitman, and working for other families

[@korekmazurski]

​@@theportugueselegendoh because he gave up the info on those black boys graves to the police ? Technically its snitching

[@theportugueselegend]

@@korekmazurski No. Because he told on the Colombo family a lot since the 80's to get out of the, maybe 20 kills he did for them

[@korekmazurski]

@@theportugueselegend ohh you mean a snitch on the show ?

[@theportugueselegend]

@@korekmazurski 🤣🤣🤣 Nah. Let's go in parts: Ernie Nunzi, in the show, is a Genovese soldier that, in spite of working for the bad guy, done a favor to Bumpy on finding those kids and burning the KKK to the ground. In real life, Gregory "The Grim Reaper" Scarpa was a Colombo hitman that, amidst ratting his family to the feds, also helped arrest member of the KKK, tortured some of them and found graves in behalf of the government. See the difference?
