S2 of mafia epic The Godfather Of Harlem is off to a slow start. But episodes 3 to 6 are smooth and have a nice atmosphere. Still, this second season seems to be a bit too much of a good thing, and the sparkle has disappeared. Speaking of sparkling; Ilfenesh Hadera (as Mayme Johnson) steals the show here. Graceful, villainous and devoted, she plays the husband of mobster Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson (Forest Whitaker). Vincent D'Onofrio also acts sublimely here, balancing between family man and hot-tempered Italo gangster.

TGOH rumbles from problem to 'solution' and that repeats itself almost every episode. I found it to be superficial and patchy. The story around Nation of Islam and Malcolm X, too, becomes jaded over time. As if there isn't enough interesting material for so many episodes. After seeing S2 of TGOH, despite the number of liquidations, the feeling of an empty shell lingers.
