The first two episodes are so full of clunky explanations that it's impossible to forget for a moment you're watching a TV show.

The show's co-creator, Tom Fontana, worked on Homicide, another atmospheric crime drama set in a tough city, and the dialogue is satisfyingly rich when it's not overburdened with exposition.

The characters hold promise, the show looks swell, the stories reflect rich history and the makers have earned our trust.

Copper is solid ground for the BBC; it plays to its strengths. It's a period piece, and you know how we Americans love historical drama, especially if everyone has British accents.

That Copper disappoints is, itself, extremely disappointing.

Those [dialogue] imperfections never jolted me out of the spell Copper casts.

Copper's intriguing historical premise injects some much-needed originality into a genre that's littered with uninspired spin-offs.

There's nothing quite like Copper on TV. The second hour is more engrossing than the first, and is easily rich enough to keep us coming back for more.

Anyone who likes a good CBS procedural can enjoy Copper.
