Good Cop/Bad Cop

I forgot the last time I watched Leighton's show, maybe the movie with Adam Slander, I remembered that she is very pretty but didn't know she is actually very good in acting. Seriously, she is fun, pretty, natural and loveable. And Luke is also very good, this role could easily go to another way, which is the super annoying way....but he pull it off, he is funny!

The side casts are all very typical nerd type, which is a bit too much but overall they are not annoying, so I am OK with it.

I like that the cases are not all burtal murder or serious criminal stuff but served as the bridge to link up the relationship between the sister and brother.

The only thing I dont like is Shane, he is too young for Lou, they look like 10 years between them, so I am not hoping or waiting or longing for them to fall in love.

At first looked like a cliche cop comedy with a super weird brother and a super smart sister duo cop but that was not the case. The good and funny dialogue, good acting and a very well write storyline in each episode make this a very entertaining and funny serie.

The sibilings cops (Leighton Meeister and Luke Cook) have a good chemistry and are very funny. The supporting cast are good too and specially the chief's russian wife (Blazey Best) is hilarious.

This is a goodhearted comedy without gross and violence who emphasize family bounds and good nature. I hope there will be a second season for this show.

I had a sense that this show would be ok, but I wasn't prepared to like it this much. It has something I am not sure what it is, it's easy, light, kind, charming, whatever it is, the first episode made me feel good about it and myself. I hope it will get better or at least not get worse. I loved the characters and the dialogue...after hundreds of too dark too violent shows something like this feels even more human in a good way. I love the jokes, the interactions, the setting is very nice, the only problem I have is with a few minor characters but I think they will fall into place going forward.

I was never a fan of Leighton Meester previous TV series, so I was skeptical of this one at first.

The other thing that usually puts me off these types of TV shows is that there are enough "cop shows" out there for a lifetime. And most of them aren't "entirely original". In fact, I always have an impression that, with the rarest of exceptions, all American TV Shows are either about "cops" (detectives, FBI, spies, etc) or "doctors" or "lawyers", like there isn't any other people worth writing about.

But this show is just wonderful. It's surely entertaining, with new angles and ideas about the "cop" theme. It's also very very funny without being silly.

And, of course, Leighton shines bright in it with a healthy dose of charm and wit. The other characters are also very well cast and well written, so we can divide our attention equally and the show is never in risk of feeling boring soon.

Looking forward to the next few episodes already. Highly recommended.

It's fun to see Leighton Meester back in a series again. She and Luke Cook are perfectly cast. Cozy mystery with plenty of humor and interesting supporting characters. Can't wait to see how the rest of the series plays out. The premise is an interesting one, estranged brother and sister reunited since the brother needs a job and is desperate to be a detective. The brother has no social skills but is a savvy detective and the sister is the can-do anything detective who works hard and will be her dad's successor as chief. The acting is strong and there's definitely a romance or two on the horizons for the siblings that will make for interesting storylines.
