Hightown offers a familiar drug-related murder mystery story but brings excellent dialogue, representation, and character development to the table. I didn't expect much from this series, but the pilot has me genuinely intrigued. Each performance is compelling, especially Monica Raymund's. The Cape Cod setting is a nice change of pace, and the show does an excellent job of setting itself apart from your usual big-city cop show. I think this show will do great if given the right exposure, I just hope it doesn't get lost amongst the Starz audience who seems to mostly be interested in period pieces. Would hate for it to see the same fate as Counterpart, another excellent show that NOBODY watched. If you enjoy mystery thrillers, this show is fresh and well produced. You won't be disappointed.
