Boston has some amazing stories.. crime wise. Just like we tend to have the smartest people in Universities I swear that transfers over to everyone (including crime and corruption) but I don't recognize this Boston.

The good, I love that it took place in the actual settings - Suffolk Superior Court - and I loved the filming around Boston. I also enjoyed that it took place in the aftermath of the Charles Stuart disaster.... something I think every Bostonian remembers.

But Bacon over acts to the extreme and it is very distracting. Aldis Hodge is ok but imho his character is not someone I care about. Just a few tweaks and I could have been on board but he does seem somewhat dim, and in his own way, corrupt.

What is the obsession with bank robbers and Charlestown? Maybe I wasn't paying attention but it was a very small part of crime in Boston. To set an entire series around it as if it was something that happened all the time, is bull. Anyone in Boston knows where the crime is, but perhaps two liberal producers like Affleck and Damon don't want to admit that.
