Synopsis

This series shows the life of the Sheriff Jimmy Brock and his wife Jill in a strange town in Wisconsin, Rome. Indeed the Sheriff, helped by his assistants Max and Kenny, the medical examiner Carter Pike and the lawyer Douglas Wembaugh, will find himself confronted, week after week, with various facts all more extravagant than each other.

High Secret City: The city of the big secret (in English, Picket Fees) is an American television series broadcast between 1992 and 1996. The series was focused on the fictitious city of Rome, Wisconsin, and its strange and often eccentric inhabitants. The main character was the sheriff James Brock, interpreted by Tom Skerritt, who tried to maintain order in the city while managing the personal problems of his family.

The series featured a wide range of interesting secondary characters, notably Kenny Lacos, a young autistic boy interpreted by Justin Shenkarow, who was often involved in strange and comic situations, as well as the city's prosecutor, Douglas Wambaugh, played by Fyvush Finkel, who was known for his eccentric manners and his love for justice.

Picket Fells was a dramatic series, but it was also dotted with comic moments, thanks in particular to the wacky characters who populated the city of Rome. The series was greeted by criticism for its exceptional performance of the actors, its innovative realization and its unique way of dealing with difficult subjects such as mental illness and discrimination. She has won numerous prizes, including four Emmy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards.
