I just hope they don't whitewash Detroit. It's majority minority, for goodness sake. And I've seen reality shows (travel, home renovation, etc.) where you'd never know there was a single BIPOC person in the entire city. I mean, yay Timothy Olyphant to be sure, but maybe as part of the 14% of the cast max that, for any level of accuracy, could be white.

I remember years ago there was a show about policing the gritty streets of Toronto. They'd have to ship in their garbage, arrange it artistically in the alleys they wanted to shoot in and then post guards to keep their imported garbage from being cleaned up.
I think that happened when Toronto was the filming spot for "Chicago" scenes in Due South, too.
I was in Toronto the day after the Raptors win the NBA Championship a couple of years ago and I can tell you that’s no longer a problem.
I don't recall it being that notably clean in 2000 either. Pretty close to what I saw of actual Chicago around the same time.
FOX has cancelled Prodigal Son after two seasons. It comes from Warner Bros., so Deadline isn't sure if it's truly dead, or if they'll shop it elsewhere, or move it to HBO Max. [link]
Cast reaction round-up: [link]
We inhaled season one, but never got past the second episode of season two. I have much less tolerance for dark shows, right now. I am watching a couple, but I just couldn't get back into this one.
*When* will I learn not to get attached to FOX shows?
Probably about the time they actually let a series run to its natural conclusion.
Did anyone else catch the Big Sky season finale? That was a pretty big cliff hanger. Good thing it was renewed for a second season. I'd be pretty pissed if the series ended on that note.
I don't know if the above was David E. Kelley's decision or Elwood Reid's decision, but I really don't respect showrunners who don't respect their audience as consumers of a story.
