In 1924, in the small town of Delano in Georgia, the council decides to hire a first full-time police officer. Farmer Will Henry Lee becomes the chief of the police for the area, who will be in charge of keeping the peace. While Lee is a well-respected person, he did not realize he steps into a different world. Sheriff Skeeter Willis, who oversees the county, offers him a crash course by punching him right in the stomach as a reminder that while Lee is wearing a badge, he should expect everyone to be a potential threat. But soon Lee learns that there might be a real threat in the area when the body of a young man is found near the lake. While the victim died due to fall, the coroner had no doubts that the boy was for some time tortured before his death, and he even suspects sexual motive. Chief Lee tries to deal with petty crimes in the area while looking out for any clues in the potential murder case. Soon after, a second body is found...
Unusual crime miniseries based on a novel by Stuart Woods. While it is a crime story that starts in 1924, it concludes in 1962. In that period of time, chiefs of the Delano Police come and go, but the serial killer in the area is still active and keeps avoiding being caught. But apart from the main story, there are subplots that tell more about the reality of early 20th century in Georgia, where law enforcement was existing alongside deeper problems within society, like racism and its extreme form, the Ku Klux Klan. This series is not the greatest in history by any means, it is rather slow, the story lacks what would keep modern audience invested, but with cast full of well established actors (Charlton Heston, Paul Sorvino, Danny Glover, John Goodman, Keith Carradine) and with unique approach to a crime story it is worth to have a look.
