Mi Opinión:

Tengo fascinación por las series y películas de gánster y esta no me decepciono, la comencé a ver por : Forest Whitaker quien realiza un excelente trabajo como Bumpy, padre de familia, le encanta vestirse bien, tiene sus objetivos claro y es despiadado con sus enemigos, la actuación de Nigél Thatch como Macol X es extraordinaria, al igual que Elise (Antoinette Crowe-Legado) la hija de Bumpy.

Al principio de la serie tuve problemas para identificarme con Vincent D'Onofrio en su papel de mafioso (“Chin” Gigante) ya que lo recordaba como el policía de la serie: Ley y orden: Acción criminal (2001)

At the beginning of the series I had trouble identifying with Vincent D'Onofrio in his role as a mobster ("Chin" Giant) as I remembered him as the cop from the series: Law and Order: Criminal Intent (2001).

Es una serie que mantiene el ritmo, está bien lograda en cuanto a vestuario de la época, guion, escenografía y su banda sonora es exquisita.

It is a series that keeps the pace, is well accomplished in terms of period costumes, script, set design and its soundtrack is exquisite.

Curiosidades: Los creadores y guionistas: Chris Brancato y Paul Eckstein, son los mismos creadores de la serie Narcos (2015) La serie es precuela de la película de Ridley Scott: ‘American Gangster’, 2007

Curiosities: The creators and screenwriters: Chris Brancato and Paul Eckstein, are the same creators of the series Narcos (2015). The series is a prequel to Ridley Scotts 2007 film 'American Gangster'.

    I started to watch this series because I love the genre and I knew the main actor was extremely popular. However, I wasn't entirely convinced by its first season and stopped watching it since then. If you love series about gangster you need to watch Peaky Blinders, it is one of the best of that genre.
