In its most significant original programming commitment to date, BBC AMERICA has announced its first original scripted drama series, "Copper". The 10 episode series, which centers on a young Irish cop operating in the immigrant communities of 19th century New York, is co-created by Tom Fontana (OZ, Homicide: Life on the Street, St. Elsewhere) and Will Rokos (Monster's Ball, Southland).

Episode 4 and I gave up. I really like the setting and all, but there's just so much better stuff out there. Too bad, wanted to like it.
Basically a cop drama with a different setting which adds some more points/possibilities for tension and plotpoints (underage prostitution, relationships between classes as well as white & black, 'scientific' investigations being somewhat dismissed, women not allowed to vote a.s.o. and so forth).
Tends to leave me feeling as if something is missing with this show, but its still watchable.
