Even though they were not filming during Patriots Day, the Boston Bombing looms large after the first episode of the new season of Boston’s Finest. It opens on July 4, the first major event since the bombing at the Boston Marathon and the cops and the general public is hesitant about the festivities. Of course the Boston Police Department has deployed extra forces and most of the officers you met last season are on duty. This includes Jenn Penton, who joined the force after a military stint on Afghanistan; Diamantino “D” Araujo and Manny Canuto, members of the gang squad (gangs use the holiday to mask gunshots with the sound of firecrackers); and Greg and Nancy Dankers who work opposite shifts. This season we also go on Boston Harbor where there are different difficulties from their land stricken breather.
After Boston’s Finest, TNT will travel almost 2,000 miles southwest to Houston for their newest show Marshal Law: Texas. Nope, Governor Rick Perry has not declared Martial law for a reality series, despite the similar sounding phrase this show follows the U.S. Marshal Service located in Houston, Texas. Think Justified: The Reality Series. But where Raylan Givens never leaves the headquarters without his trusty hat, these Marshals routinely go on the hunt looking more like S.W.A.T. teams compete with helmets and bulletproof vests.
Business is booming for the Marshal Service in Houston with 30,000 fugitives on the lamb in the city, some of them for very violent crimes. But much like Raylan, these Marshals are not messing around. For instance, in tonight’s premiere, they corner a fugitive in a house currently for sale and bust out most windows, tearing down blinds to get a better looked at an armed man who is wanted for shooting his girlfriend and go in armed with semi-automatic weapons. To give each case deeper importance, we also get to hear from victims of the fugitives or their family. If you enjoyed the first season of Boston’s Finest, you will definitely want to stick around for Marshal Law: Texas.
Boston’s Finest airs Tuesdays at 9:00 on TNT followed by Marshal Law: Texas at 10:00. You can download Boston's Finest on iTunes
