In early 1990s Boston, violent criminals, corruption and racism are a normal part of life and, to make matters worse, are backed by the local law enforcement agencies. Hailing from Brooklyn, District Attorney Decourcey Ward seeks change and forms a surprising alliance with a hardened FBI veteran, Jackie Rohr. This unlikely duo takes on a family of armored car robbers from Charlestown. The case evolves into the change that Boston needs by altering the city's untrustworthy criminal justice system.

While it's still quite a distance from the Wire mountaintop, it begins its sophomore session with the brash confidence of Kevin Bacon's Jackie Rohr.

'90s Boston remains a shining cesspool, and Kevin Bacon is once again a multi-layered treat as heavy-drinking, coke-snorting FBI agent Jackie Rohr.

A story of fathers and sons, and mothers and daughters. And many other things. [Full review in Spanish]

A good, gritty crime drama, now into its second season of tackling corrupt cops, racism and a criminal system no-one can be proud of.

City on a Hill is one of those series that makes television better -- or at least more relevant. Beyond its social relevance and power to challenge tribal thinking, it is fine entertainment.

I'm torn on this season because I may be spoiled from other series such as sopranos/Dexter/Ozark/SOA but, the writing and acting was often times very jarring throughout this season. It wasn't bad enough to consider it a waste of time or to be avoided necessarily but, the portrayal of characters emotions oftentimes did leave me awfully confused. Still really appreciate the characters and what might be done with them or what could have been done. Enjoyed the atmosphere and looking forward to watching season 3.

A strong follow up season, that is more layered and nuanced than season 1. Now that the bones of the show have been established this season is about adding meat around them.

Excellent cop and hoods show. Season 1 was very good with continuing excellent performances by Kevin Bacon and Jill Hennesy. Lots of action, twists and turns and excellent screenplay.
