A couple of years ago, Edward Burns appeared in a TNT limited series called Mob City. It didn’t perform very well in the ratings. Now, he’s back on the network in a much bigger role — as an actor, director, and writer. Will Public Morals be a success for Burns and the cable channel? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Set in early 1960s New York City, Public Morals revolves around the professional and personal lives of the members of the NYPD’s Public Morals Division. They enforce the vice laws that are still on the books but that no one wants to enforce — prohibiting crimes like gambling and prostitution. The large cast includes Edward Burns, Michael Rapaport, Elizabeth Masucci, Katrina Bowden, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Wass Stevens, Keith Nobbs, Austin Stowell, Patrick Murney, Lyndon Smith, Brian Wiles, and Cormac Cullinane.

Great show…..Lets renew for another season…..very realistic, LOVE IT.
Love the show…Lets have another season……..Please
Renew! It was terrific.
Great show renew
Strangely compelling…I didn’t think I’d watch much but I did watch all 10 episodes and want to know what happens to the lot of them…sorry to see Brian Dennehy go…the largest question us: “Who killed him?” The answer to that alone might be worth another 10 episodes…I suspect it was one of the capos in the meeting with him…but who knows? Next year, a little more content as you have the character ensemble introduced…good luck!
Please give this great show a second season!
Great show!–The Sopranos 1960s with cops instead of gangsters. Really want to see what happens with Rusty, Richie, Muldoon and everyone else. Great writing, great acting.
Please keep Public morals on the air….
My absolute favorite show by far!
Love the show
I love, love, love public morals! Ed Burns and M. Rapaport are wonderful. I was crushed when B. Dennehy got killed in the end because he added so much to the show. Always one of my favorite actors. My “dyed in the wool” Irish husband watched every episode with me. Please don’t cancel. there are too many unanswered questions. It just wouldn’t be fair!
