Previewing City on a Hill: Season Three


 


Congratulations, we finally got him, after two seasons, dirty FBI agent Jackie Rohr was forced to turn in his badge.  In true Jackie fashion, he did not actual turn the badge in as much as tossed it into the Boston Harbor to swim with the fishes.  But that was not the end of City on the Hill, so at the start season three, Jackie has gotten a job as a bartender.  But it does not take very long to find another job more suited to his skills working for Corbin Bernsen (L.A. Law) who may very well be a bigger sleaze ball than even Jackie is. 

 

Jackie’s sometime adversary, sometime frenemy Decoursey Ward is still reeling from his wife’s miscarriage from last season and now is faced with the mortality of his ailing father played by Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) that takes him away from Boston the start of the season.  It actually takes the Assistant District Attorney a couple episodes to even get a case to work on and takes even longer until that work runs into Jackie, though he does stop off at Jackie’s bar every once and a while.

 

The murder of Anton Campbell also looms large with the cop who shot him goes on trial.  The wives, Siobhan and Jenny are also around, dealing with past traumas, Siobhan with her miscarriage and Jenny with her father’s abuse.  Then both have someone from her past resurfaces to open past wound.  But that is just Boston in the nineties.

 

City on a Hill airs Sundays at 10:00 on Showtime.
