AMC generally doesn't make crap shows, I think this one might have some promise. This show will be premiering this summer.

Yes. I wish they'd be more specific about when it will be showing. I wouldn't want to miss it.

Hopefully someone will give us all a heads up here when the schedule becomes known.

It's the subject of a new cover story by Jim McFarlin:

Anything after Breaking Bad is bound to be a disappointment.

Pretty much. However, if anyone would have told me that AMC would be the amazing original series bastion that it has become years ago, i would have laughed.

The have come a long way. Bravo and TLC? Not so much.

I DO agree with you ... but you never know.

considering that TLC, which, remember, stood for The Learning Channel at one time had some first rate educational programming, they have fallen WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY down

The should just rename themselves "The Freakshow Channel" since that's all they show these days.

Sounds like they learned quickly... what sells and what doesn't.

Saw Morgan from The Walking Dead in the clip. Now we know the real reason he didn't want to join the group.

He escaped the zombie Apocalypse, and found safety in Detroit. It's kind of funny when you think about about it.

It's his second roll [[that I know) of him playing a Detroiter, his first was in "Hung". And I didn't know it until this year, but dude is British.

**Danny** · March-28-13, 03:07 PM

OH NO! Not another Detroit 187 cop drama show again!

**Islandman** · March-28-13, 03:10 PM

The British actors seem to have quite a knack for American southern accents.

**jolla** · March-28-13, 06:47 PM

American southern accents were shaped by English and Irish accents.

Oddly enough, around the time of the revolution, British English probably more closely resembled Midwestern American English than the posh BBC English to which we are so accustomed today. I can't produce any recordings to support this, but it has been the advent of broadcasting that has transformed British English to the non-rhotic speech we are familiar with now. They used to use hard arrs [[r). Sorry, way off-topic.

They plan on shooting in the Boston Edison neighborhood, the location scout interviewed my fiance's mother about using her house as well as her neighbor.

That link doesn't work. Try this one. This doesn't look too bad. I still miss Detroit 187...

i think this is the series that is shooting today. they have rented part of Fort Wayne as their staging area.

they have a bunch of fake DPD cars & news vans and a coroner's van that i recognize from when they were filming nextdoor at the Delray Boat Launch last summer.
