This is a cop/legal thriller set in Boston and produced by two of Massachusetts' favorite sons, Ben Aflek and Matt Damon. It's a great story, well written and the cast is very strong. Kevin Bacon really brings his sleazy FBI agent character to life. My only problem with the show is that in nearly every scene, the producers are shoving down your throat that the story takes place in Boston. I watched the entire 10 show first season and I heard 3 "R's" or "AHHS" They even throw in that now officially cliched line from "The Departed" when Mark Wahlberg's character comes at DiCaprio's in his job interview and questions his authenticity about "comin' round' hair and droppin' yar AHH's like ya from hair". I had to roll my eyes. In City On A Hill the line comes from some bad guy's wife insulting the absolutely stunning Sarah Shahi, who plays an investigating detective on the show. In almost every scene at least one or maybe all of the actors wear some sort of Boston shirt. A shamrock here, a Celtic's Logo there, an Irish Priest, the obligatory Irish Pub Scene, Hell, we even get a cop funeral with bagpipes (Those are Scottish by the way) and on and on... We get it Matt. The staahry takes place in Bahston. So come for the Charlestown Bank Robbers and stay for the Bacon.
