I'm surprised I didn't find a thread for this. It's on Showtime and this is the plot from Wikipedia-
"Set in Boston in the early 90s when the city was rife with violent criminals emboldened by local law enforcement agencies, in which corruption, tribalism, and "taking it to the street" was the norm, until it all suddenly changed. This is a fictional account of what was called the "Boston Miracle". The change agent is District Attorney Decourcy Ward (Aldis Hodge), who comes from Brooklyn and forms an unlikely alliance with Jackie Rohr (Kevin Bacon), a corrupt yet venerated FBI veteran who is deeply invested in maintaining the status quo. Together they take on a family of armored car robbers from Charlestown (Jonathan Tucker, Mark O'Brien, and Jimmy Cummings) in a case that grows to encompass and eventually upend Boston’s citywide criminal justice system."
It's what you'd want a Boston based crime show to be. The acting, dialogue, and character development are all superb. There's not a lot of action but it's extremely effective when it comes. Bacon is the big draw playing a more fun Bad Lieutenant type, a terrible guy who's a blast to watch.
