While it sticks to a lot of the predictable tropes about crime & corruption in Boston, it still is an entertaining and well written series. In what is arguably a career best performance, Kevin Bacon shines and mesmerises as corrupt FBI agent, Jackie Rohr, and City On A Hill is worth a look just for his performance alone.
-
Season one and two were good but there was no real story in season 3. Just a lot of the same boring PC stuff coming out Hollywood these days. Could not make if past episode 2.
-
It's a big story to tell but it's handled well and with a degree of sensitivity rare in American TV.
-
The Departed vibes. Captures that Boston feeling perfect.
-
Love the way the story is sorted out THROUGH out the season, that's a BIG PLUS in my book. That and the difference side to the whole story thing makes it make sense to but adds a nice flavor to the season as well.

I love this show!!!!!! Bring on Season 3!!!!!! ~Western Massachusetts :)

I think this is a terrific show. I have only recently started watching it (I am in Season 1, Episode 8) and it has gripped me as no show has really done since the Sopranos. Kevin Bacon's performance as Jackie Roar is as complex as Gandolfini's Tony Soprano - he's that good. We also see the beginning of the corruption of Decourcy Ward (what a fabulous name) who has to lower his moral standard in order to try and get convictions; Hodge is so easy on the eye I'd watch it just to see him sit in a chair and not speak. But he portrays "boy done good" - someone who has had to transcend his birthplace and childhood - very well and we are in no doubt he is the "goodie". The women actors are amazing and do justice to interesting roles. And I like the music too. Much to recommend here if you like law and order that punches hard.

I am addicted to this show - I love it! I'm from MA and know Boston well. Kevin Bacon gets Boston and he seems like he could be from Boston. He is fantastic in his role and so is Aldis Hodge as well as everyone else is. When I started watching the show it was just because it was a Boston related show and with the first two episodes I wasn't sure, but kept watching and SO glad I did. This show is fantastic!!
