Começámos a ver esta série pois tenho mega paixão pelo Dennis Lehane e fiquei logo entusiasmada quando percebi que era um projecto dele. Nunca falha, estou a adorar.

Infelizmente deixaram de editar os livros dele, vá-se lá perceber a razão.

Dennis Lehane, whose best known books like Gone Baby Gone and Mystic River are set in #Boston, expertly described local tone and humor:

"I was in Miami for graduate school, and I remember worrying that I was losing the Boston voice. Right? So I went back home and I ran into a guy and I said, 'How you doing?' He’d been kind of a brawler.

"And he said, 'Uh, I’m good. You know, I got stabbed a couple months ago,' and I was like, 'What happened?' He tells me the story. He says, 'I was in Faneuil Hall and, and I got into beef with this guy. And anyway, he stabbed me.' And he said, 'I dunno what you’ve heard, but it really takes the fight out of a guy.'

"And I thought that’s it. That’s the voice. That right there, it’s, 'I don’t know what you’ve heard.' Like you may have heard that, you know, getting stabbed is kind of like a hot stone massage, you know? And then the incredible understatement — not 'I was praying for my God,' not 'it hurt so much.' No. 'It kind of takes the fight out of a guy.'

"That’s the Boston I know."
