Naked City (1958–1963)
7/10
Naked and Alive In New York City
23 July 2018
(*TV show quote*) - "There are 8 million stories in the Naked City. This has been one of them."

If you enjoy watching 1950's TV Crime/Dramas like "Dragnet" and "The Untouchables" - Then - "Naked City" is sure to be right up your alley when it comes to its overall entertainment-value.

Yes. At times - These 1-hour, b&w episodes did lay it on pretty thick with the element of soap opera. But, that aside - The show's strive towards gritty realism and hard-edged drama was, often-enough, sufficient to hold my interest (for the most part).

What I also liked about "Naked City" was its use of plenty of outdoor location shooting on the streets of NYC. As well - The regular cast of this show (and the guest stars) usually put in fairly convincing portrayals of their characters.
