Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans and action fans. If you loved The Day of the Jackal or Boardwalk Empire, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, episodes of about 52 minutes, about 7 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-MA: expect violence.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

The story of Mac Conway, a Marine who returns home to Memphis from Vietnam in 1972 and finds himself shunned by those he loves and demonized by the public. As he struggles to cope with his experiences at war, Conway is drawn into a network of killing and corruption that spans the length of the Mississippi River.
