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.

RENEW RENEW RENEW PLEASE. Great show
Love the series. All ten very entertaining. So much going on, Ed Burns is great and some good supporting acting as well. Love the look of the 50’s and 60’s. Well done. Please renew this show!!
Great show with good characters and wonderful style.
Renew for sure
I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every episode, I’m not even sure exactly why, but I looked forward to each episode each week. I’d love to see this renewed, even if just to close the Rusty story line down with plenty of action!!
Definitely need to see another season. Season 2 was unfinished.
Really enjoyed this show. Can’t wait til season 2
I think the show was a total waste of time….with overblown acting and writing. If it goes good riddance!!!!
RENEW Public Morals!!
I think it should be renewed.
Please don’t cancel this show! It’s not easy to find good shows to watch anymore
A well-written, well -acted ensemble drama. I certainly hope it’ll be renewed!
I think the show is engrossing, well-written and well-acted. I really hope it’s renewed!
Love the show. Renew it.
Very entertaining show. The main character Terry (Ed Burns) is fun to watch and engrossing in his tough-guy persona. I love the classic conflicts, even though they’ve been done before, they never get old. Also some interesting characters in the crew, with of course Rappaport.
