I am Scags Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Has anyone picked up and seen this show yet? Just heard about it today and it sounds very interesting. Apparently its a series about the corruption and lawlessness in Five Points that takes place in 1864. Sort of sounds like Gangs of New York but pretty much now in a series. http://www.bbcamerica.com/copper/

Ended up changing the channel. It could also be that this show doesn't have DiCaprio/Day-Lewis' screen presence.

Again I haven't seen it but I will take a look either way, but you could very well be right. Scorsese's masterpiece with DiCaprio and DD Lewis could hardly be matched by anything.
Revolution Rock Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I will most likely give it another shot since the premise seemed like it would be interesting. I just hope the pacing gets better.
