I still can’t believe he’s in his 70s. He looks like he’s been 35 for the past 40 years.

A beautiful story to tell and acted out by legends

[PrimateSoul]

Fantastic series!!! Awesome how he gets his memory back. We too often look at older people how they are, rather where they have been and their wisdom, accumulated connections, knowledge and history. Excited for the finale. Forest Whitaker as his great nephew!

Just watched the limited series. Now I'm going to go read the book! Loved it!!! Great job by the entire cast.

[gilbertlp]

Strong the force is with SLJ..touching the story of "The last Days of Ptolemy Grey" is. Ptolemy already 92-93 yrs old, didn't imagine he was.

Fun fact: Eddie Murphy wanted Sam to appear in the Coming To America sequel but he couldn't do it because of a scheduling conflict. The sequel just didn't recapture the comedy magic of the original which is a classic. If Sam could have appeared that may have been the best scene in the entire movie as he would have come back to rob the McDowells restaurant again.

After the 'the Afterparty' finish airing, now we got to see this! Man.. feels like Apple TV is on point!

[JamesJones-upjz]
