Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker...yes please. Vincent D'Onofrio, nice. They've got some good actors, but they don't know what to do with them or how to write for them. There's no urgency, very little dramatic tension, very poor sense of time/ambiance/history. It never rises to the level of even the most mediocre episode of the Sopranos, or Homicide, or The Wire.
Then they make it worse by trying to make it more PC, and historically "relevant." Maybe just create a good story, with good ambiance, tension, and let the actors go to work.
