Godfather of Harlem (Seasons 1–4)

Godfather of Harlem (2019) is a crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Forest Whitaker plays Bumpy Johnson, who walks out of prison after a decade away and barely recognizes the streets he used to run. Harlem has moved on without him.

While Bumpy was inside, the Genovese crime family took over his old territory. Clawing it back means fighting on several fronts at once: the Italians, former allies who got comfortable, and an era that no longer has room for him. He falls in with a young Malcolm X, played by Nigel Thatch, and their alliance drags a turf war straight into the politics of the early 1960s. Vincent D'Onofrio, Giancarlo Esposito and Paul Sorvino anchor the mob side.

Created by Chris Brancato, the writer behind Narcos, the series scores 1963 Harlem with present-day hip-hop produced by Swizz Beatz. Whitaker doesn't just play a gangster here; he plays a man who showed up late to his own legend. Stream every season of Godfather of Harlem online on iFILM.
