NFT: City on a Hill - on Showtime

pjcas18 : 7/8/2019 2:15 pm

anyone watching?

I like it. With a Damon/Affleck production I always worry it will be "too Boston" with awful over-exaggerated accents and gratuitous Southie references. And guys named Sully or Fitz.

but it's not (yet) and Kevin Bacon and Aldis Hodge have been great, with a solid supporting cast. The mother-in-law kills me.

Anyone else watching it?

I like the reverend and the priest antagoist story lines.

I love it

i've only watched the first 2 episodes

Kevin Bacon is the perfect antihero

I dig it

despite some corny overacting at times.

For a show based in Boston

Agreed on the overacting. Get it from Bacon and the main bank robber's wife. Outside of that though, I generally like the show and this it's gotten better as it has gone on. Especially like the last ep.
