-->'''''- Lt. King'''''
'''''Public Morals''''' is a police drama that premiered in 2015 on TNT. It was created by Creator/EdwardBurns, who also stars, writes, and directs the series.
Set in 1960's [[BigApplesauce New York City]], the series focuses on the [[Main/{{NYPD}} NYPD's]] Public Morals Division as it tries to police the city's appetite for vice. The cops of the division are fairly cynical about their work, believing that the best they can do is regulate such activity rather than try to stamp it out altogether. They have no problem with letting people have their fun as long as the players pay their "rent" and don't cause too much trouble. It's when people try to shake up the status quo that the cops start cracking down.
The show also examines the lives of working-class Irish Americans during the 1960's.
Not to be confused with the 1996 sitcom of the same name.
!!This program provides examples of:
* CowboyCop: The show's set in a time when police officers had much more leeway in how they could deal with the public. A crook getting knocked around a bit isn't seen as being a problem.
* CorruptCop: The cops of the PMD see themselves as being in charge of victimless crimes and have no problem letting people have fun as long as the players involved pay "rent".
-->'''Muldoon''': We do what's been done for the last 100 years: we manage it. For the city. Think of us as the landlords. And if you want to be in business, you gotta pay your rent. Do you understand what I'm telling you?\\
