This series is staying very close to actual events. Actual people are identified by their real names. Events that really happened are referenced.
But here's the problem this series faces. Before defund the po-lice, when we thought G-Men were the good guys and the DOJ stood for justice, we could take a rooting interest, or at least a neutral position re the Feds. But, we've seen the blatantly political actions of a corrupt FBI. Political prosecutors. Prosecutors who turn perps loose at every opportunity. Most especially the politically biased Civil Rights Division of the DOJ. The Order, in Law & Order, has turned on the Law. So, we can't automatically root for the justice 'good guys' because we know how bad they are.
We also have corruption in the PD, but corruption, in all its manifestations, rolls downhill from the politicians to the Feds, to the police bosses to the street cops. So, the writers and producers of this series need to understand that the Feds no longer get the benefit of the doubt. We presume them to be political and equally corrupt.
All that said, two episodes in and this series is looking good. If, however, they go woke, it could all come crashing down in a single episode. The writing cannot devolve into a wokeathon preaching systemic racism and Up With Antifa.
Jon Bernthal continues to be excellent. Written by Ed Burns who also did 'The Wire.'
