Good Cop/Bad Cop

Good Cop Bad Cop grabbed me from the start. The Hickman family dynamics are genuinely entertaining and meaningful, making even the lighter moments feel worthwhile.

While realism takes a backseat (understandably, given the comedic nature), the humor lands perfectly-I haven't chuckled this much at a show in ages. A refreshing and unexpectedly delightful watch!

Elaborating on the character dynamics - their interactions are not only entertaining but also meaningful, adding depth to the story and making even the lighter, more comedic moments feel worthwhile. You genuinely care about these characters and their connection to each other.

So many shows & films these days rely on cheap gags or predictable setups, but Good Cop Bad Cop manages to be genuinely funny without resorting to these tired tropes or forcibly inserting it into scenes.

It was a refreshing and unexpectedly delightful watch, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lighthearted and entertaining show.

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.

As with most new shows you expect there to be some time to develop characters and establish the protocols, but this show started well and just got better. The characters are charming and witty and even the misfit brother has some redeeming qualities.

Although the subject matter is heavy, they play it off in a light manner that just adds to the shows demeanor. I especially like the brother/sister play of the two detectives.

If you're looking for dark and meaningful, this show is not for you . . . But if you're looking for fun, and not taking things too seriously, I recommend that you give this show a try.

I'm looking forward to the next episode!

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 at 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!

Side cast 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.

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.
