City on a Hill

Watched season one and quite enjoyed it. Watched five episodes of season two now and I'm really hooked.

It get's better and better.

Kevin Bacon is really, really good. Great acting.

Good story. Quite a lot of interesting characters.

Definately worthwile.

The whole cast is good. Writing is good. Story is good. Direction and editing are good. But Kevin Bacon steals the show. He pulls off a ridiculous over the top character and does it well. Maybe his best.

City on a Hill is a gritty cop show that takes place in Boston. I love these type of shows/movies so I was really looking forward to it and it did not disappoint! The real stand out here is Kevin Bacon, he's been a wonderful actor most of his career but this is easily one of his best performances. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are executive producers and they grew up in Boston so they add so much authenticity to the city of Boston.

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.

City on a Hill is a gritty cop show that takes place in Boston in the early 90's. I love the way the storyline unfolds throughout each season. It has a feel of The Wire only that it takes place in Boston. The writing, directing, acting, cast, cinematography, etc are all top notch in this show. Love these type of shows/movies so I was really looking forward to it and it did not disappoint! The real stand out here is Kevin Bacon, he's been a wonderful actor most of his career but this is easily one of his best performances. Aldis Hodge also breaks out to show himself as a fine actor who holds his own here. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are executive producers and they grew up in Boston so they add so much authenticity to the city of Boston. If your looking for a good gritty cop show then give this a try. You won't be disappointed.
