Irish-American detective Kevin Corcoran, a former boxer, returns from the Civil War and finds that his wife is missing and his daughter, dead. Working the notorious Five Points Neighborhood in New York, he tries to learn what happened to his family. Two wartime friends -- a wealthy industrialist's wayward son and a talented black doctor who share a secret with him -- assist in his search for the truth. The friends take Corcoran to the contrasting worlds of elegant Fifth Avenue and an emerging black community in rural northern Manhattan, as they help the detective in his struggle to maintain his moral compass in a turbulent world.

When one of the medium's finest writers (series creator Tom Fontana) gets behind a series, it's not a bad idea to pay attention. But as a Copper newbie, I'm still struggling to figure out what all the love was about last season. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com 06/25/2013

This is strong drama. Go to Full Review Phil Dyess-Nugent AV Club 06/23/2013

This episode is Copper at its liveliest, because the manhunt for a rampaging killer, while not exactly a model of narrative intricacy, crowds out most everything else and generates some excitement. Go to Full Review Kylie Peters Den of Geek 03/25/2019
Although I spent way more of this episode wtf-ing than I would have liked, it was still great to have Copper back, which is a testament to the strength of its characters and setting. Go to Full Review Dorothy Burk Vasquez PopMatters 06/23/2013

Copper reveals not only the grim living conditions of 19th century New York, but also the implications of unchecked police power. Go to Full Review Hays Davis Under the Radar 06/23/2013
7/10
As with the first season, Corcoran remains at the heart of the show, and Weston-Jones' portrayal makes the detective a new TV hero worth rooting for. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/24/2015 I wanted to like this. I really did. But the script was melodramatic and adolescent. (More soap opera than period drama.) And characters change personality so violently between season one and two that you wonder if you are watching the same show. The only reason I gave the show 2 stars was because it had passable acting and a great look. See more Read all reviews
