Mob City, a six-part television event starring The Walking Dead‘s Jon Bernthal and Heroes‘ Milo Ventimiglia, will kick off on Wednesday after Arrow.You’d be a fool to miss it.Created by Frank Darabont, the writer/director/executive producer who brought The Walking Dead to life at AMC, Mob City revolves around all the things you’d expect a noir drama about the power struggle between the mob and the Los Angeles Police Department in the late ’40s to revolve around: there’s a murder, there’s a gorgeous girl with a mysterious past, there’s a cop too honest to be true (even though, in this case, it’s real-life police chief William Parker) and a cop too hard to be totally straight. They’re surrounded by a cast of characters including Simon Pegg in a role that has echoes of Danny DeVito’s character in L.A. Confidential–he’s the comic relief, except that what’s going on in his life is so high-stakes, and so key to the plot, that it’s difficult to picture him as being there just for laughs.
