REPORT STARZ for false advertising. Starz cancels all good shows for gangster violent and sex heavy garbage.

Almost 5 stars. The cast is great. Also the scenery is captivating. Trying to save the city of Chicago with religious views set a powerful tone. This great.. sorta shocked by the amount of profanity used. A lot of f-bombs. Also some of the dialog is choppy. Certian scenes seems to be in a code.

The best show I've seen in a long time. Will never watch Starz again for canceling it.
