Nasty Nati 

Tagline:

“Truth hides in the Queen City’s shadows. We shine the light.”

Overview:
NEW NASTY NATI is a gritty, character-driven crime procedural series set in the heart of
Cincinnati, Ohio — a city with deep roots, political tension, and stories that never made the headlines. This bold new drama follows a team of five elite detectives as they unravel a different case each episode, drawn from real-life articles and true stories that shaped the streets of the Nati across generations.
Every crime has a face. Every truth has a price. From street-level homicides to high-profile political scandals, the cases tackled in each episode will reflect the real Cincinnati — its people, its pain, and its power.
Format & Structure:
Episodic Crime Format: Each episode features a new case — a new suspect, a new victim, and a new story. The detective unit remains the central thread, while guest stars (as criminals, victims, and witnesses) rotate per episode.
Continuity Cast: The main five detectives are supported by a recurring team of prosecutors, defense attorneys, city officials, community leaders, and sometimes even journalists or gang figures — all of whom help build the city’s legal and social ecosystem across episodes.
Inspired by True Events: Based on legendary Cincinnati stories, cold cases, scandals, and forgotten news clippings, NEW NASTY NATI blends entertainment with realism, holding a mirror to the underbelly of the Queen City.
Themes & Tone:
Truth vs. Power: The show dives into the ethical, emotional, and political dilemmas detectives face when solving cases that cut close to the city’s core — whether that’s corrupt officials, high-profile families, or street legends.

Justice for the Forgotten: Many episodes focus on cases overlooked by the system — the voiceless victims and communities underserved or ignored.
Moral Complexity: The series does not shy away from the grey areas of justice. Our lead detectives are not perfect — they’re layered, flawed, and haunted by the city they serve. Cincinnati as a Character: The city itself breathes through every shot. From Avondale to Winton Terrace, Walnut Hills to Price Hill — every block has a story, and NEW NASTY NATI brings it to life with unapologetic authenticity.
The Core Cast (Main Unit):
A diverse and driven group of five lead detectives, each with a unique perspective shaped by their upbringing, past traumas, and personal codes of justice. Characters include:
A hardened veteran detective with roots in the community
A rising female officer with something to prove
A former street hustler turned cop, constantly walking the line A brilliant but emotionally distant investigator
A morally conflicted rookie with political ties
Together, they confront Cincinnati’s deepest wounds — from generational crime to institutional cover-ups — one case at a time.
Why This Series?
NEW NASTY NATI isn’t just another cop show. It’s a love letter and a warning — a raw, unfiltered look at the truth behind the badge, the block, and the balance of justice in a real American city. This is our version of storytelling — powerful, provocative, and pulled from the streets we know.
