743179, to go on a small tangent it reminds me of why Godfather of Harlem

didn't work for me
(aside from sticking modern music in a 60s show)

this show has so many things i like and i'm a huge fan of Whittaker/DiNofrio, i love the premise, the era, etc...

but they damn near make Bumpy a super hero on this show. It's not like a Tony Soprano, or a Vic Mackey, who you find yourself either empathizing with or rooting for despite being trash human beings by all measures
It's more reverse engineered anti-hero. Bumpy's a 'bad guy' but he's really kind of a good guy. Jax Teller is another example of that.

i dunno, maybe it got better but i tapped out after 6 eps or so
