Law and Order is back on air, sort of. Starting tonight BBC America is premiering its new drama "Copper". Been watching the trailer's for about 3 months and programmed the DVR before the Olympics to make sure I didnt miss the premier.
After a summer of drab lifeless shows, I am looking forward to a series with some potential meat to it. Only hope that its success isnt so big that some US network takes over production and ruins it.
Grab your brass knuckles, there wont be anything nice about these law enforcement officers.
From Academy Award® winner Barry Levinson and Emmy® Award winner Tom Fontana, “Copper” is a gripping crime drama series, set in 1864 New York City, filled with intrigue, corruption, mystery and murder. Kevin Corcoran (Tom Weston-Jones, “MI-5″), an Irish-American former boxer turned cop, returns from the Civil War to find his wife missing and his daughter dead. Corcoran seeks justice for the powerless in the notorious immigrant neighborhood of Five Points. Bonded by battle to two Civil War compatriots – the wayward son of a wealthy industrialist and an African-American physician who secretly assists the forensic investigations – Corcoran is thrust into the contrasting worlds of elegant and corrupt Fifth Avenue, and the emerging African-American community in Northern Manhattan. The three men share a secret from the battlefield that inextricably links their lives forever.
In the mid-19th century, the Lower East Side quickly went from farmland to being overpopulated by an influx of working-class immigrants. A breeding ground for vice and violence, poverty and disease, Five Points gained such infamy that it became a curiosity for tourists from all over the world, including Charles Dickens.
