Jack of Harts

The Indianapolis shown in Twilight season four had no surviving local government and gangs ruled the streets. Trained by a life on the mean streets, the strongmen had broken the city police, driven them out of the city entirely, and then proceeded to divvy up the spoils. The city was divided between those regions too poor to resist the gangs and those areas rich enough to pay the gangs to leave them alone. The network did a superb job of showing the dichotomy of the two cities that were often separated by a single street. Twilight’s brand new Mustang GTs cruised past well-lit mansions surrounded by walls and guards, and straight into Third World hellholes lit only by trashcan fires. It brought the plight of Indy to the screens of a recovering nation.
