When the series isn't immersed in pulpy shenanigans, it aspires to be a sort of Bostonian The Wire.

The action in City on a Hill is staged competently enough, but it's nothing you haven't seen before in half a dozen or more premium cable shows. What makes City on a Hill go is the performances, especially those of Bacon and Hodge.

Considering the breadth of the series' narrative ambitions, as laid out by the premiere, there's a good chance that City on a Hill will find a way to dig deep and offer up the sort of character drama that may well make it a standout on Showtime.

A showy command performance by Kevin Bacon won't be taking City on a Hill to new heights. It's enough, however, to give Showtime another Ray Donovan in terms of watchable, serviceable, jut-jawed crime hours.

A show that has just enough crackling dialogue and fascinating characters to keep its sometimes-clunky plot moving.
