Long Bright River Seems Interesting So We Are Sat

Turns out everyone wants to be in a procedural these days. We’re not complaining. It seems that is all we like to watch these days. We especially like to write them when some of our favorites are in the show. Amanda Seyfried (Letters to Juliet forever) as a cop in Long Bright River seems like a show that will scare us, but we’re about to walk (watch) the cop beat as we watch her take on the Opioid crisis.

We know that the road can’t be bright and that anything with the opioid crisis is going to be dark and hard to watch.

The adaptation is based on the book by Liz Moore, follows. “Mickey (Seyfried) a police officer who patrols a Philadelphia neighborhood hard-hit by the opioid crisis. When a series of murders begins in the neighborhood, Mickey realizes that her personal history might be related to the case.”

The show is going to cover family, the opioid crisis, facing your past and more. It feels like it’s going be a scary therapy session.

THE SHOWRUNNER

Creator/Showrunner Nikki Toscano said, “Perhaps what drew me in the most was the possibility of what this show could achieve in its ambition to upend stereotypes: of those born into poverty and addiction, of those engaging in sex work, of those who have been written off or marginalized after they’ve seemingly fallen through the cracks of their community, and finally, of those engaged in police work. In fact, what makes ‘Long Bright River’ so unique as a series is that it aims to deconstruct the ‘police as savior’ narrative — a journey pulled through our protagonist, Mickey Fitzpatrick.”

Starring with Amanda Seyfried in Long Bright River are Nicholas Pinnock, Ashleigh Cummings, Callum Vinson, and John Doman. Some recurring guest stars include Dash Mihok, Britne Oldford, Matthew Del Negro, Harriet Sansom Harris, Patch Darragh, and Perry Mattfeld.

We’re sat. Show us the way Mickey Fitzpatrick.
