I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I think I am almost finished with the first season and so far I am not too impressed. It doesn't seem to be going anywhere. It revolves around a cop who works in the Five Points area in New York which is a bad area, so he has to be kind of a bad cop. Tom Weston-Jones, who play Kevin Corcoran (Corky) is adorable and the acting by him and everyone else is adequate. As I said, it needs to start some sort of real good running story line or at least have more compelling disconnected episodes. If the first season finale doesn't end with a bang, I may not continue watching it. There is just too many good things on TV these days

I have a real problem with a show like this produced by the BBC. This story is set just after the death and forced emigration of millions of Irish men, women and children by the actions and in-actions of the British government. The potato blight was an act of nature but the lack of help and support by Britain on the one hand and the forced eviction of tenants by landlords on the other produced this historic disaster in Ireland, the effects of which are still being felt. Does this British production actually reflect the hatred that these immigrants had for Britain at that time? Does it highlight Britain's responsibility for the death and destruction of the Irish people? The answer to both questions is no, which therefore makes this just British propaganda.

I'm terribly disappointed that this series was canceled. But for those that appreciate historical fiction featuring exciting and unexpected plot twists and award-worthy acting, the two seasons of this series are worth your entertainment dollar. I was particularly appreciative of the setting of this story - 1860s Five Points district of New York. The Civil War is still raging, yet the story focuses on the civilian lives of a handful of well-developed characters, living on different sides of the tracks, so to speak. Two major themes are explored: the plight of newly freed slaves and the rising influence of Irish immigrants in New York. Both themes are explored against a backdrop extreme bifurcation of society between "haves" and "have-nots," as well as corruption in the city government, local government, and police department. I rated this series a 9 out of 10 partly because I appreciate the treatment of an under-appreciated part of American history. If you don't like historical fiction, it's unlikely you'll agree with my "9." But in the end, people watch television series because they like the story, the characters, or both. I enjoyed both tremendously.

The show presented me at first the interesting idea of a CSI/NCIS style show but in "cowboys" era. This was intended at first with Doctor Matthew Freeman (Ato Essandoh) getting evidences and study them with the means available at that time...solving crimes like that. But then they dropped this "motto" to a boring soap opera of pseudo-romantic bad relationships...tons of betrayals...and political interest struggles.No wonder the show was canceled after 2 seasons...because the second series became quite boring to watch. I confess that still couldn't find the patience to watch the last 4 episodes.The acting was very good by all of the actors...I particularly liked little Annie Reilly (played by awesome Kiara Glasco). She looks very petite (don't know how old is she IRL)...but she plays her part with so much matureness...that actually she looks like a young woman in a child's body. She is a great actress. Congratulations Kiara, and keep acting, PLEASE.5 out of 10 why?1st season 10... 2nd season 0... Therefore... 10/2=5 !
