TV Guide explains the series kicks off in 1947 and centers on L.A. cop Joe Teague, who’s caught in the moral gray zone between the city’s notorious gangsters and its corrupt police force. Real-life figures from the era are woven into the story’s fictional characters. L.A. Noir begins shooting in April. Sounds similar to Boardwalk Empire. Will you be watching?
