I have been following the Copper Facebook page and I am very interested in watching it.

Kind of like "Gangs of New York" meets "The Shield."

The first episode was pretty good.

The series looks like something AMC would also air. As a matter of fact, word has it that the idea for the series was initially pitched to AMC (i.e. another time-period piece set in New York City, but this time set in the 1860's ), but was then taken by BBC America.

Interestingly, between the two channels, there are now two series' that take place in roughly the same time period (Copper just shortly before the end of the Civil War and AMC's Hell on Wheels just shortly after the end of the Civil War), even if in vastly different parts of the country.

I was under the impression that Copper is also supposed to be right after the civil war.

Saw the first episode, and liked what I saw...

...except naked white guy butt. Coulda lived without that.

Copper apparently starts off in 1864, about a year or so before the Civil War's end.

That also happened in the latest season finale of AMC's show set in New York City that takes place in the 1960's.

I was really impressed with the first episode so Copper is going on my must watch list.
