City on a Hill watchseries. This is one of the really good/best series I've been seen in a long time. I'm excited to see how many seasons the can product with these characters..
Just watched the 1st episode on Showtime On Demand and this show is fantastic. Kevin Bacon is brilliant. I can tell already this show is going to be a hit.
As a lifelong Bostonian, this show absolutely nails it. The first episode was amazing. I cannot wait to watch this season. It looks wicked pissah kidðŸ€
This is by far the best tv show I've seen this year. Kevin Bacon plays the role of a scumbag detective brilliantly! The story and the characters all play their parts really well. You've got the prosecution's side of the story. The FBI and throw in a family of armoured car robbers and you have the perfect show! Can't wait for season 2.
The first season was good. I thought the second season wouldn't be as good because J. Tucker wasn't coming back, but Kevin Bacon is superb.
He is so good as Jackie Rohr that I will forever see him as this character.
He makes the show fun to watch.
The rest of the cast is great, but he steals the show.
