No it is an action drama. Gangster show but featuring famous Black gangster Bumpy Johnson who was the head of a major heroin operation in Harlem during the 1960s. The civil rights movement was also going on during this time so the show also prominently features Malcom X who is a friend of Johnsons.
Ahh okay this must be the shows where Forrest is playing Bumpy Johnson. I saw a clip of him looking at painting someone drew of him and I’m like where is this from? Must be this show
It takes place during the civil rights movement so it does cover a lot of that but I think it is historically accurate so I wouldn’t describe it as woke or preachy.
