Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans. If you loved Boardwalk Empire or Godfather of Harlem, start here.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, episodes of about 43 minutes, about 7 hours in all.
What might put you off
It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

Set in the early 1960's in New York City's Public Morals Division, where cops walk the line between morality and criminality as the temptations that come from dealing with all kinds of vice can get the better of them.
