Public Morals - Series Premiere: Tuesday, Aug. 25, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT)

This summer, TNT is going to take viewers to the seedy, gritty streets and the bright, seductive lights of 1960s New York withPublic Morals, a powerful, buzz-generating police drama from writer, director, executive producer and star Edward Burns (Saving Private Ryan, The Brothers McMullen, TNTs Mob City). Public Morals also stars Michael Rapaport (Justified, Prison Break) and Elizabeth Masucci (The Americans, Inside Amy Schumer).

And the cops in the Public Morals Division do what's been done for the last hundred years. They manage it for the city. But for Terry Muldoon (Burns), this all might come to an end when a war between two factions of the Irish Mob breaks out in hi s own Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, prompting his wife, Christine (Masucci), to demand that they leave the city for good.
