Matt Roush says...
You’re not imagining things. Epix has now become MGM+, and for the occasion, one of the channel’s more popular dramas returns for a third season of urban conflict. The action picks up in the wake of the 1964 Harlem riots, with drug kingpin Bumpy Johnson (Forest Whitaker) broke after flames consumed his heroin stockpile. In debt to the Italian mob, Bumpy partners with Havana cop-turned-mobster Jose Miguel Battle (Yul Vazquez) to retain control, though his activist pal Malcolm X (now played by Jason Alan Carvell) prompts some soul-searching about the devastating effect of heroin on their community.
