I wanted to love this series. I was even an extra in three of the episodes and I love era pieces. I binge watched the entire series on TNT over Labor Day when all episodes were made available and I was truly disappointed. Had all the episodes not been available I probably would have quit after the third episode. Some really great character actors and some great set design and wardrobe but the story line did not interest me. perhaps Ed Burns should have focused on either directing or acting and perhaps employed some professional screenwriters who know how to carry episodic television. The actors were great, Brian Dennehy, Michael Rappaport, Kevin Corrigan, Keith Nobbs. Tim Hutton, Elizabeth Mascucci but the lines they delivered were just not interesting or even that believable. On an ecoomic level for NYC and for some BG acting days, A second season would be nice I just wont be watching.
