I heard about this recently and found an episode. The basic idea is that a story is told from different points of view. It's not a Rashomon approach where everyone disagrees, it's just people who were there for certain parts of the story are the protagonist for those parts.
It's a promising concept, but outside of that it seems like a rather typical early century cop show from the single episode I saw.
A caveat, I have never been able to get into anything I've seen by the creator, Graham Yost, who people love. Not Justified, not Sneaky Pete, not the Americans. There is something about his sensibility that seems to leave me cold.
So maybe this is a brilliant series and I'm just Yost-blind, but I have no interest in seeing more.
