While there's never a shortage of cop dramas on TV, Public Morals proves it has something to offer.

The groundwork has been laid for an excellent series.

With its '60s look and its vintage '60s musical soundtrack, I like to think of it as a formerly undiscovered 10-hour cop movie from that era.

Public Morals blends somewhat predictable plotting with decent character development and recognizable period, cultural flourishes.

It's easy for a director to fall in love with his décor to the detriment of the storytelling.

Even if subtlety isn't going to be part of the equation, Burns makes up for it with his wiseguy humor, rapid-fire dialogue and a high volume of plot.

The series isn't like most other cop shows currently on the air. It's gritty at times, sure, but it's also very funny, and it never comes off as formulaic.

All the stories are connected, and the cast is universally great.

Public Morals is engaging enough, with a jazzy pace, assured direction and a number of fine performances.
