Great crime drama series with interesting period piece type of history about the crime scene in Harlem during the 1960's. It encompasses the interaction between black gangsters and mafia gangsters in a wrestle for control over territory set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement. Great character development and interesting sub plots. Very enjoyable!
