Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticThe first episode of “61st Street” lays the foundation for a story that’s become all too familiar on television and in reality alike.
Over eight episodes, AMC’s new drama (executive produced by Michael B.

While the cops call Rufus’ death an open and shut case of an officer defending himself, they pin Rossi’s on Moses Johnson (Tosin Cole), a promising track star caught in the wrong place at the wrong time while trying to get his brother Joshua (Bentley Green) home, before an accidental brush with Rossi sent the cop’s head into a protruding pipe, killing him almost instantly.
