Two detectives are assigned to track down a serial killer who preys on young, naive women seeking fame in Los Angeles in the premiere of this true-crime procedural set in the early 1980s.
It might become quickly tedious... And, great soundtrack or no, there isn't a lot in the pilot that encourages sticking around to see if Wicked City overcomes that potential hurdle.
Any series that calls itself Wicked City is pretty much asking for ridicule (Sin City already taken?), but to then go ahead and stuff the sausage with grade A baloney? That, my friends, is a demand.
