Predictable Finale Wraps up a Half-Decent 1st Season
2 December 2019
If you've been watching since the first episode, you're probably already 100% aware of how this season ends. There's nothing revelatory or twisty enough to really be considered unexpected; people die that you've been expecting to die and there's no real major plot development except for the relationship between Bumpy and the 5 families. It was a predictable but solid finale for the show's freshman season and now we'll have to wait a year before we get anymore Bumpy in our lives.

All in all, Godfather of Harlem was an addictive, binge worthy romp through '60s Harlem despite all of its hackneyed and cliched dialogue, plot twists and character development. If you're a fan of the gangster genre you'll enjoy GOH, just don't expect a flawless masterpice like The Sopranos or The Wire.
