    Aye, the scenes with him and Bumpy and also with Adam Clayton Powell are excellent man. Giancarlo Esposito is funny as * in it, he becomes one of my favourites really quickly.

    I watched some of the real interviews of Adam Clayton Powell off the back of the show, and he's played him really well.

    Giancarlo just lights up everything he’s in. Kind of take it for granted now.

    Watched the first 2 episodes- excellent stuff so far.
    Had never heard of this show until I read this thread, surprised it’s not better known.

    Another solid episode. Need to leave logic at the door sometimes but it’s just so entertaining. Reminds me of Power in a way.

    What episode are you on?
    Think I’ve watched 8 now and really enjoying it. The only problem with shows based on real characters is you have a fair idea of what’s going to happen to them.

    I’m up to date now mate. S3 E7. Got a bit of time on my hands these days so battered through it.

    S1 definitely the most grittiest. Gets more stylish as it goes on. Doesn’t diminish the overall quality though, the show evolves with the cinematography.

    There is also an embarrassment of quality supporting actors. No story feels less important than the others. Really think that’s a particular strength of this show.

    Can’t help but like Chin Gigante- very interesting character well played by Vincent D’Onofrio. Just found out he was Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket :giggle1:
    Giancarlo Esposito is outstanding as well.

    There are so many quality actors that have been involved in a number of my favourite movies and shows over the years. Forest Whitaker in Platoon, Vincent D'Onofrio in Full Metal Jacket, Chazz Palminteri in A Bronx Tale, Paul Sorvino in Goodfellas, Katherine Narducci in The Sopranos and A Bronx Tale, Erik LaRay Harvey in Boardwalk Empire, Arthur Nascarella in The Sopranos, Method Man in The Wire, Giancarlo Esposito in Breaking Bad. Such a strong cast.
