Detective drama fans will love gritty 7-part crime series hailed as 'show of the year'

According to the official synopsis, the show takes place in the working-class suburbs of Philadelphia, where FBI agent Tom leads a Task Force to "put an end to a string of violent robberies led by an unsuspecting family man Robbie (Tom Pelphrey)". 

When writing the story, creator Brad Ingelsby was inspired by his uncle, a former priest who left his position after meeting a woman, as well as by his discovery that priests sometimes helped the FBI at mass casualty events. 

 "I'm really close to my uncle, so I'm always asking him questions," he told Vanity Fair. "Essentially, why did he leave? What’s his relationship like with God? How has that changed, evolved over time?"

He added: "That was a character that I was interested in—a man whose faith is challenged by events in his life. How does he react and respond?"

Mark Ruffalo (Mickey 17) leads the cast as Tom, while Tom Pelphrey (Ozark) plays Robbie.

Also starring in the show are Emilia Jones (CODA), Jamie McShane (Wednesday), Sam Keeley (Kin), Thuso Mbedu (The Woman King), Fabien Frankel (House of the Dragon), Alison Oliver (Saltburn), Raúl Castillo (Smile 2), Silvia Dionicio (New Amsterdam), Phoebe Fox (The Great) and Martha Plimpton (Prime Target). 

It's safe to say viewers are counting down the days until the show's release.

Reacting to the trailer, one viewer penned: "Wow, this looks like a good crime series bring it on," while another added: "This is going to be the show of the year, you watch!" 

A third person remarked: "Can't wait for this."

Viewers don't have too much longer to wait as the series is set to premiere in September. Whilst a release date has yet to be announced, we do know that episodes will be released weekly.
