Copper

Here's the trailer of Copper, an upcoming BBC tv-series that follows the life of police detective Kevin Concoran in 19th-century New York and that reminds me of Gangs of New York (which I still have to watch!). I'm quite excited about this show because the characters might be speaking some cant terms (cant is another word for the gangster language in earlier times). If you want a snippet of what these cant terms sounded like, click here for an article that discusses some of these terms (I will probably have another blogpost about some of these terms in more detail, since that's the core of my PhD research).
