SERIES PREMIERE: Edward Burns created this new TNT series, wrote it, stars in it, and even directed a couple episodes. He plays a tough New York vice cop in the 1960s, surrounded by other cops, mobsters and even family members who are just as tough as he is. It’s evocative of classic cop movies like Serpico and The French Connection – and it looks great, and starts with a slow-simmering but intriguing murder plot. For my full review, listen today to NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, or visit the Fresh Air website. And for a full review on TVWW, see Uncle Barky's Bytes.
