Taxi Brooklyn

I'm thankful that I saw this TV Series (Taxi Brooklyn) before seeing these reviews because some of them would've discouraged me from ever seeing the show. Taxi: Brooklyn is a great TV series, with high potential. The only/key reason you may review this show as 'not good' is if you're not paying attention to the details of the characters, yet expecting them to be similar to other cop/TV shows you've seen before. Yes, the actors/actresses in this series are new and a little nervous at first, but like all good things, it takes time--the more you watch, their chemistry gets a lot better and you start to like the show. Also, the plot is like any other cop shows--a cop with personal and career issues, trying to balance/even out the good and the bad...and there're always obstacles. I am very disappointed that this show was canceled by NBC--I would very much like it to continue; PLEASE do not leave things the way the last episode ended.

There is a petition to renew the show for a second season below. Please sign it and we can try to get it renewed for a second season.There are more people that love this show than you think. It was also just torture how the last episode ended on a major cliffhanger and Cat's relationship with Leo would have been interesting to see what it would have progressed into. So once again please sign this petition to renew the show many other people would also love to see this show renewed. All that is needed to sign is your first name and your email address. This is the only petition I could find that is for renewing Taxi Brooklyn.

Firstly, I have not seen the pilot for this show yet. I only watched the second episode of it because it came on after America's Got Talent and I was too lazy to change the channel. I enjoyed the show but have the following problems with it:

1. NYC taxis have a plastic divider between the front seats and rear seats. This cab doesn't have one for obvious reasons of all shows set in NYC, to see the passengers in the back. But it's still wrong.

2. NYC taxis are in no way as "souped up" as this taxicab is. It's insane, the stunts this guy does with his cab are impossible for the average driver to do in a standard taxicab with standard suspension, engine, transmission, and tires.

3. There is no explanation for why he is such a skillful driver or why he is as observant as Sherlock Holmes in finding clues and analyzing them.

a. Perhaps they could come up with a back-story that he was a detective in his native country (France) who raced cars as a hobby.

4. Why is Chyler Leigh's character such a c--t? She is thoroughly unlikable despite being a sexy bitch.

5. While the cab driver is always complaining about losing fares giving the female detective rides, he seems to spend as much time investigating as she does. Why doesn't he just drop her off and then split; to pick up fares which is his living?

This show has much promise with good chemistry between the main characters, good plot lines, and lots of great action scenes. The producers just need to work on filling in the loose ends. If you're looking for a more realistic cop show, watch Law & Order this is just for escapist entertainment on par with "Knight Rider" and "The A-Team".

After reading reviews here i was hesitant to watch the show, but with lack of anything else to do, i continued onto it anyway, and all the reviews are just haters. The first episode got a 7.7/10 and the story- line behind Cat is actually something i WILL definitely continue to watch the show for.

Responding to complaints from the others, Yes, The camera is a little shaky, but it's not the kind of pirated recorded on CAM shaky, it's the visual effects, following the character around shaky, and i didn't even notice it until i read a review that claimed it. You'll only be bothered by things like this if you have a weak attention span, or you aren't paying any attention to the show.

I didn't really see any problems when it comes to the characters or the execution of the plot, I really enjoyed the storyline, and will continue to look forward to the following episodes. Just saying, if you're someone who watches TV shows for the actual story, and not someone who watches them just to kill time, you'll enjoy this show. (It's not like the Simpsons or such that you can enjoy it without paying attention)

Plot can have similarity with other cop shows, but I think actors are quite successful with their genuine performances. Action, investigation, revenge, romance, emotions and humor are all inclusive. I think it deserves more ratings.

Sullivan and Romba have interesting backgrounds. We can learn more about their past, as the series progress I hope. Sullivan is a beautiful cop, yet she does not thrust and get close to anyone easily. Romba, on the other hand, has some numbers of tricks, he is very clever, honest and charming taxi driver who becomes sort of an assistant detective.

In the pilot other characters include a captain, a special agent, a mom, and a child who spice up the show altogether. Captain is a father figure and protective. Special agent is obsessive and jealous about his work, Romba and Caitlyn. Mom is supportive and child is a good son.

There is no offensive language. It is suitable for families. Lastly, I think the series should continue so I rate it 9/10 to support the effort of these talented crew.
