Copper: Season Two [3 Discs] [DVD]

I loved season one of Copper and season two did not disappoint at all. The only complaint I have is that they seem to wrap up most of the stories at least somewhat sufficiently before the last episode. Then there is a great, pretty much self-contained story (road trip), however, the last 5+ minutes set up a whole new, really interesting story line and the show was cancelled. I knew it was cancelled before I got it and it was still completely worth seeing, but to almost get to the end with everything resolved and then have such potential left hanging from just the last few minutes . . . it was just frustrating. I still wouldn't have missed seeing and owning it.

Anybody who liked Gangs of New York should check out this short lived 2 season series. Even though it takes on a different story line, the same desperation to live and survive in such a violent setting comes through in each of the first two seasons. Season 2 does give you enough closure on some issues that you can still be satisfied watching this cancelled show!

Season 2 of Copper added more characters and subplots which were well written, but apparently confused too many viewers that were casual watchers of the show. The show lost almost half its audience mid-season and ended with a cliffhanger. The show was highly rated and if this was a BBC production and not a BBC America funded series it probably would have been picked up for a third season. You will want to see season 1 before starting this season.

A well written and acted crime story set in New York City back in the 1860's. Interesting characters and settings add to the historical timeframe. A cool history lesson.

EXCELLENT show. Great character development. Just the right amount of violence and brutality. Great sets and the story is well orchastrated. You will not regret getting this show... Season 2 is actually better than season 1 and I loved season 1. Just do it!

Loved this show. I have both seasons and enjoythe portaryal of New York in the 1800's.

This is a snapshot of early New York City. Stories of the poverty and crime that existed. Donal Logue ( Vikings ) and Franka Potente ( Run Lola Run ) are standouts.

It has similarities to BBC's "Ripper Street", but unlike that show, after the main mystery of Season 1 (S1) is mostly resolved, S2 didn't seem to pursue it further, instead opting for a different direction which didn't seem as focused, likely leading to the show's cancellation. If you liked S1, but want to see S2, don't pay more than $10 for it. If you didn't see S1, then this is not the set to start with.
