City on a Hill (TV Series) Whipping Post (2022) User Reviews

The ignorant are ignorant of their ignorance!

This outstanding series concludes an outstanding season.

This is the best work of Kevin Bacon's career. Aldis Hodge and Jill Hennessy are also standouts.

In this finale, directed by veteran Ed Bianchi, all three stars shine and the next season is perfectly set for the inevitable changes that will be coming-for Jackie and Jenny, as well as, DeCourcy and Siobhan. I'm also certain, Father, ex-Father-who knows-Diarmuid has some changes coming, too!

I hope viewers find this show as it's one of the best on streaming TV. Written for adults, gritty, realistic, unvarnished and featuring a very complicated lead character (Jackie Rorh), who desperately wants to be a good guy, but his character flaws keep getting in the way.

Not as dark but entertaining

City on a Hill: Season three on Showtime follows Kevin Bacon as he has quit his position with the FBI and provides private security to a wealthy family. Jackie Rohr (Kevin Bacon) and Jenny Rohr (Jill Hennessy) work on failed marriage but yet each cheat on one another. Jenny engages with former Father Doyle (Mark Ryder) who has been using donations from the church to fund the NRA in Ireland. Corbin Bernstein and Joanne Kelly join the cast this season as the rich family who hires Bacon to keep their secrets safe. Rohr learns Corbin has been raping young college students and he gets seduced by Kelly. In the meantime Lauren Banks who plays Siobhan has left her law firm to help fight corrupt businesses to help those in need. Aldis Hodge is in the running to become the next sitting District Attorney when his boss who is played by John Doman. Hodge learns that his father (Ernie Hudson) is dying from cancer. Matthew Del Negro snitches on his fellow colleagues and ends up becoming an investigator for the DA office. Overall all the interpersonal relationships and issues come together by the end of the series. Unfortunately this was the end of this show, it did not get renewed for another season. This season was much less darker but enjoyable with better storytelling and actor performances.
