Rueben's Ramblings

The new BBC America drama Copper will on August 19 debut at 9 PM.

Tom Weston-Jones (Life on Mars) stars as a rugged Irish-American cop working the City’s notorious Five Points neighborhood, struggling to maintain his moral compass in a turbulent world, while on an emotional and relentless quest to learn the truth about the disappearance of his wife and the death of his daughter. His friendship with two Civil War compatriots takes him to the contrasting worlds of elegant Fifth Avenue and an emerging African-American community in rural northern Manhattan. The three men share a secret from their experience on the battlefield that inextricably links their lives forever.

The cast includes Tanya Fischer, Franka Potente, Kyle Schmid, Anastasia Griffith, Tessa Thompson and Kevin Ryan [among others].
