    The first 15 minutes of the first season are a little rough, but if you can get beyond that, it seems like a promising show. Really excellent cast, solid soundtrack, and pulpy fun stories. I'm just hoping it didn't shoot its wad in terms of fun ideas in the first ep.

    While it sticks to a lot of the predictable tropes about crime & corruption in Boston, it still is an entertaining and well written series.
    In what is arguably a career best performance, Kevin Bacon shines and mesmerises as corrupt FBI agent, Jackie Rohr, and City On A Hill is worth a look just for his performance alone.

    Worth a watch. Very smart show. Entertaining too. The cast is really, really fantastic.

    Although City on a Hill oozed quality, it also suffered slightly from the sense we’d seen it all before.

    It’s tremendous fun. ... As a bloody caper, City on a Hill is a little bit in love with itself, but it kind of knows it so should be forgiven.

    The actual heisting is kept to a minimum, but there’s still a thrill in the inexorability that haunts Frankie and Jimmy’s scenes.
