From Academy Award winner Barry Levinson.
I think it's a good storytelling, great characters and a great sense of time and place.
And Emmy Award winner Tom Fontana.

Police.

We found a body in Central Park.
I need your opinion. I want to know how he actually died?

Sweet Mother of my Lord.
New York will burn.
You don't know who're dealing with copper.
