Marina City helps set mood for ‘Boss’

Starz

October 26, 2011 – Marina City appears in the opening credits of Boss, a new, decidedly dark series on the Starz television network. The series premiered last Friday at 9 p.m. Central time.

Kelsey Grammer stars as the mayor of Chicago, Tom Kane. Kane has a degenerative brain disorder, just a few years to live, and is ruthless. In one scene, a citizen who disappoints Kane has both ears cut off.

The credits were produced by a company called Elastic and include the Robert Plant song, Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down.
