Violent & Visceral: COPPER Inside Look, Ep 1

“This is not typical good guys & the bad guys… It’s more complicated than that.”

So explains Executive Producer, Academy Award® Winner BARRY LEVINSON (Good Morning Vietnam, Rain Man) in this exclusive Inside Look at the Series Premiere of COPPER, BBC America’s all new original series. Then, don’t miss an all new episode *** Sunday August 26 at 10/9c *** only on BBC America.

Says TOM WESTON-JONES (Detective Kevin Corcoran, MI-5), COPPER “is violent, it’s visceral and it’s very desperate!”

Find out why Corcoran’s behavior is “surprising to us — but not necessarily shocking to the people around him,” and why the New York Police in 1864 were actually more like a gang than law enforcement.

With exclusive interviews with the cast & LEVINSON and Executive Producer and Co-Creator, Emmy®-Award Winner TOM FONTANA (Homicide: Life on the Street, Oz)

In 1864, he was New York’s Finest. COPPER is a gripping crime series set in 1860s New York City, and centers on Kevin Corcoran, an intense, rugged Irish-immigrant cop working the city’s notorious Five Points neighborhood. Corcoran is 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.
