to get turned into successful TV shows. But the resulting anthology series has been surprisingly effective. The crime-drama stories are nominally police procedurals but end up more like more morality tales, with satisfying results presented by ever-changing but always stellar casts.Even so, the fourth season's decision to retell the story of two organized crime syndicates in Missouri in the 1950s, one black and one white, felt risky.
Happily, the show's attempt to tackle more difficult material goes better than expected, though at the expense of some of the things that defined the series’ preceding three seasons. The first is the abandonment of the northern Minnesota/North Dakota setting as the story moved into the Midwest. The second is a new attitude, with less madcap adventure and a far more dour sensibility.
But the biggest change in the fourth season is the absence of black-and-white thinking. There is still a pure character in the form of Ethelrida Pearl Smutney , who opens the premiere with a recitation of Kansas City’s history of organized crime. Smutney’s interracial parents run the local funeral home . Their kid is a too-smart teenager just trying to do the right thing, even when those around her want to punish her for it.
But though Ethelrida’s clashes with racist teachers and strict parents is a running plot in the series, the two crime syndicates battling it out for supremacy are the real narrative-drivers. As Ethelrida details early on, it is merely the newest round in a decadeslong war, starting with the Moskowitz Syndicate at the turn of the century, which was supplanted by the Irish Milligan Concern of 1920. They, in turn, were massacred when the Italian Fadda Family moved in just before World War II.
But the newest syndicate to arrive in town and challenge the Fadda’s stronghold is different. The Cannon Limited, led by Loy Cannon , represents a different sort of refugee community fleeing the Deep South and Jim Crow as part of the. Cannon’s whole deal isn’t about taking over the city, though his ambition will eventually lead that way.
