Hightown deepens the procedural genre by expanding its focus beyond a singular murder to the opioid epidemic at the edges of its story.

Much to my surprise, this has been renewed for Season 2. Excerpt from the link:

Quote

In a statement, Christina Davis, president of original programming at Starz, said, “Audiences are already deeply engaged with these flawed and complex characters and in a second season we will continue to dive deeper into the relationships between them amidst the shifting tides on the Cape.”

To whomever finds these "flawed and complex characters" engaging, enjoy your continued journey into this swirling vortex of poor choices, gloominess and despair.

I'm watching bits and pieces - enough to see how the story ends, but this show seems poorly constructed.  It's choppy and the storyline is simplistic.  The things it did get right (for my tastes) are the characters and their backstories and the actors who play them. 

It reminds me of Perry Mason on HBO.  I have the same issues with that show.

That's usually what I like most about shows, the characters and their backstories.  It's getting better but they sure are killing them all off.
