BBC America's Copper returns for season 2, and hits the ground running. Here's Kylie's review of Home, Sweet Home...
This review contains spoilers.
2.1 Home, Sweet Home
It’s February 5, 1865. Five Points, New York is every bit as seamy and depraved as we left it, and Copper wastes no time in throwing us back to the wolves.
First, a little recap. Detective Kevin Corcoran and company have foiled the Confederate plot to burn New York City. Elizabeth Haverford was in on the Confederate plot, but no one knows it yet. Corky’s former best friend and partner, Francis Maguire, is in prison for murder. He slept with Corcoran’s wife Ellen and then confined her to an insane asylum. It was Ellen who killed Corcoran’s daughter, by accident. Meanwhile the Civil War continues, and Lincoln’s assassination date is drawing near.

Big changes are in the air in the Season 2 premiere of BBC America's "Copper."
It's 1865 and Lincoln's assassination is just around the corner, but the biggest development in Five Points is the return of General Brendan Donovan (Donal Logue), who heads home from the battlefield to restore order in New York's Sixth Ward.
Series co-creator Tom Fontana has described Donovan as a "Boss Tweed like character," but he remains primarily an intriguing mystery in the season premiere. Still, the arrival of Logue -- who has been building up a steady resume of serialized cable dramas including "Terriers," "Vikings" and "Sons of Anarchy" -- is easily one of the Season 2 bright spots so far.
The premiere spends a lot of time on psycho criminal Buzzie Burke (guest star Noah Danby), who carves his initials into Eva (Franka Potente) before she bites off a chunk of his ear. Corky (Tom Weston-Jones...

The BBC America historical drama Copper returns for its second season full of angst, political plots, and forbidden trysts. It offers a world on the cusp of greatness but that is weighed down by the sins of its past. As fans and viewers discovered during the first season, the secret to this show’s success are its deeply conflicted and compelling characters. Helmed by Tom Weston-Jones as Kevin Corcoran, a cop quick to dole out frontier justice, but with a heart of gold, Copper’s rich cast brings the light into a dark world of crime in 1860’s New York City and the black-hearted men and women who reside there.
The first season saw Corcoran in dogged pursuit of his missing wife and the person responsible for the death of his 7-year old daughter. But all answers are not always worth search for as resolution of that mystery brought more tears of anguish than joy.

A musty odor of manure, muddy straw and vegetables long since spoiled heightens the realistic feel of squalor.
On the massive Toronto set of "Copper," the details of Manhattan's Five Points in 1865 are precise down to the brush on the madam's vanity and Hebrew lettering on the pawnshop window.
In the mansion part of the soundstage, in front of a working fireplace, co-creator and executive producer Tom Fontana ("Oz," "Homicide: Life on the Street") and new showrunner Thomas Kelly ("Blue Bloods") chat about the changes for BBC America's original drama, which returns with 13 episodes for Season 2 on Sunday, June 23.
"As always the center of the universe is Corcoran," Fontana tells Zap2it. "He is trying to be a moral cop in an immoral society. He is trying to be a moral friend. A new element arrives in Five Points, in the person of Donovan."
Donal Logue ("Vikings," "Sons of Anarchy") is Gen.

Chicago – Barry Levinson & Tom Fontana’s very good “Copper” is even better in season two thanks to the inclusion of the always-great Donal Logue as a detective returned to New York City after serving in the Civil War. Logue’s General Brendan Donovan brings a new dark energy to a piece that seems to be getting denser and more engaging as it goes along. The BBC America program is approaching “Deadwood” levels of plotting in the way the show focuses on a part of the world at a time when lawlessness seemed to be one of the driving forces of its formation. This is strong drama.
Television Rating: 3.5/5.0
At the start of season two of “Copper,” Detective Kevin Corcoran (an increasingly charismatic Tom Weston-Jones) seems to be getting more confident and powerful in New York but that power comes with more responsibility and more required wheelings and dealings with the elite.

“[In Copper Season 2] we wanted to raise the stakes and dive into the 1860s political machine by bringing in a Boss Tweed-like character to shake things up,” says co-creator and executive producer, Tom Fontana. “With the addition of General Brendan Donovan, we reveal a highly volatile faction of old New York City, Tammany Hall, and sink our characters into storylines including counterfeiting, illegal Union Army recruitment, the 13th amendment and its ramifications for ‘freed’ slaves, public health hazards and more. By making the universe a little fuller, it gave us a chance to breathe new life into the history [...]

Copper kicks off its second season run on Sunday, June 23.
And coming off a critically-acclaimed opening run of episodes, the BBC America original will be beefing up its cast impressively this summer:
Billy Baldwin is on board for the final pair of episodes as a Tammany Hall fixer, while Donal Logue (Terriers, Sons of Anarchy) will make even more of an impact as Brendan Donovan, a general just back from the Civil War who exerts major power in Five Points.
That character is prominently featured in the following promo:

On Sunday's (April 21) episode of "Vikings" on History, Donal Logue enters as Horik, King of Denmark.
For those of you keeping track, this means Logue will soon be on three cable shows. He's Lee Toric, the violent ex-us Marshal on FX' "Sons of Anarchy" and on June, 23 he joins BBC America's "Copper" as political ward boss Brendan Donovan.
Tonight, though look for the red beard as King Horik, who initially seems to be an ally of Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel).
"It's complicated," Logue tells Zap2it of his character's relationship to Ragnar. "Ragnar's exploits made their way up the chain to the king and he was bright enough to know that instead of being threatened, [he says,] 'I will like what you are doing.'"
The king offers Ragnar the boats and warriors he wants so he can explore new lands, but Horik is no fool. He knows this upstart will...

Apart from being one of my favorite actors, Donal Logue is also coming up in three of my favorite shows. Unfortunately (maybe), once in a while you find yourself in an interview that turns out, somehow, not to actually be one. You have your questions set out. You know the shows and the talking points. Your subject is equally prepared to run through the routine of extolling the virtues of whatever they happen to be working on. But, it doesn’t end up going that way.
These are the interviews which ultimately find you running out of time, and scrambling for something, and spitting out, “Umm… tell me about the show.”
Or, to put it another way, these are the interviews that make you glad you don’t work for someone, who might not think it’s actually completely brilliant that you killed thirty minutes talking to Donal Logue as...
