Top Coppers

This new BBC comedy from Cein McGillicuddy and Andy Kinnear shows great potential, featuring Steen Raskopoulos, award winning Stand up Comedian John Kearns, Donovan Blackwood and filled with Fun cameos from Simon Farnaby, Alan Dale and Rich Fulcher. Top Coppers has a warm, familiar feel and lampoons just about every Cop/Buddy show from Starsky & Hutch to the Professionals and the Sweeney, throw in a bit of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Murder in Successville and Police Squad and I think you can guess where we're heading. Silly, Funny, Abstract humour, you can relax and unwind to. Book yourself a ticket to Justice City and giggle yourself Silly!!!

I must say this is the funniest show I have seen in a while. The plot lines are so outrageously in-your-face silly that it just.....works. The characters develop so well over the course of the series and the plot lines are a real throwback to every cop show we've seen and loved/hated over the years. The special guest characters make each individual episode unique and keep it fresh. It may not be everyone's cup of tea and donut but it certainly has an appeal to a big audience who are crying out for something now and out-of-the-box. It looks like it has just been moved from BBC3 to BBC2 also which is a vote of confidence from the Beeb. Good show 8/10

This show if exceptionally funny. Many people have been complaining about the show after watching the first episode, which in my opinion is the worst episode. Its still funny but does not compare to the second and third episodes. If I were you I would definitely give the show a go and don't stop watching after one episode It has guest stars Rich Fulcher and Simon Farnaby ( Both of which starred in the comedy 'The Mighty Boosh' Which is also worth a shot. The humor in the show is not for everyone but frankly I love it. The characters are all very cheesy but the cheesiness is played off so well in this, Chief is one of my favorite characters just due to the fact that he is what every 80's cop is imagined as. Watch this show. Its worth it

Utterly and unashamedly stupid, Top Coppers is a really funny spoof without a single serious word in it. A brilliant concept to begin with, British (and Aussie) comedians filling the cast of a stereotypical 1970s US cop duo show, the show was always going to be limited, but it completely does as it sets out to do by hitting you with consistently bizarre stories from outlandish characters. Plenty of familiar faces from the UK comedy circuit to be seen throughout the series, with scenes either being completely predictable without losing any of its impact, to ridiculously unexpected, creating the best parts of the show. Very funny, plain stupid, a nice and easy watch.

I really do not understand what's so funny about this. It's just like every other piece of garbage made by BBC3, that's been branded as "comedy". You can see why the channel's being taken down. The last funny shows released by BBC3 were Bad Education and Bluestone 42; since then, they have been embarrassing.

Let's start with the Americanised humour, shall we? This, in my opinion, plays too much like an American sitcom. The humour isn't that funny at all. In America, they'd probably find this funny because their humour differs from ours. But shows like this just do not work in the UK. They never have, and they never will.

The good things about the humour in Bad Education and Bluestone 42, was that it was sarcastic and very British. This however, is not. The acting? Terrible. The main "characters" are about as fun as revising for an exam. If not, less so. They lack so much creativity, it's unreal.

The background characters are honestly more convincing than the protagonists, and that's not a good thing at all. If I find the background characters more interesting, in anything, then it's just... not right. The main characters are given the spotlight for a reason, and sadly these ones do not shine.

The show is so unfunny, you'd get more joy out of EastEnders.

The best thing about this show is when it ends, honestly. Especially when Russell Howard's Good News follows, or something else interesting.
