TNT greenlights "L.A. Noir". And there was much rejoicing.

Months after the pilot was announced, TNT has finally ordered Frank Darabont's L.A. Noir to series.  I've been waiting a long time for this announcement. 

As the Deadline article linked above mentioned, the series is based on John Buntin's book L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of the Nation's Most Seductive City.

I didn't see a premiere date in the article, but I hope they get this up and running soon.  This should be a good one.
