Top Coppers

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

.....really bad. It is not even remotely funny. I can't even begin to tell you how bad this is. It's so bad that I can't be bothered to write any more so I'm going to cut and paste 400 characters more.

So this is a parody of 70s and 80s cop shows, I imagine the intent was to be rather like Leslie Nielsen's Police Squad , but it misses that by several miles, the gags are just not as good. I found it to be downright derivative of other, better comedy. The main interest is in remembering in which shows you first saw the plot lines and jokes. I think it was a mistake to mix tropes from both US and UK police series, the styles do not mesh well and it feels like a very jarring mash up of Starsky & Hutch, The Sweeney, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and Police Squad with elements from Castle, CSI, The Comic Strip Presents, and numerous other shows. The main characters are just annoying but there are some good performances from the guest stars.

Mitch Rust and John Mahogany are working for the JCPD, Justice City Police department, battling crime.

I've watched all the episodes so far, and I can't decide if I utterly love or utterly hate it, every Police cliché is intentionally done, and sometimes it works, and sometimes i've been sat here thinking did they really just.....

The silly side of me is quite enjoying it, and I can't help sniggering at some of the jokes, Steen Raskopoulos has a kind of Michael Fassbender vibe which is by no means a bad thing.

I'll have to keep watching, even if it's just for more loudness from Di Botcher, or the sternness of Helga, it's so bad it's rather funny. 6/10

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.
