Angie Tribeca - Sonst nichts!

I thought this series was a drama until I watched the commercials again. Rashida Jones plays a Los Angeles police detective. At first, I took her seriously. This series is spoofing and parody of crime dramas. That's one of the reasons I enjoy it so much. I'm tired of crime dramas that become redundant. Angie TriBeCa is an entertaining show with Jere Burns as her boss. There are familiar faces too like Kerry Kinney, James Franco, and others as well. Dean Cole is funny as her partner. They solve murders, ferret smuggling, and other crimes. It's a show that gives plenty of laughs and mocks the crime dramas. Nancy Walls and her husband Steve Carrell are executive producers too.

I can't believe i'm only finding out about this show after there are already 3 seasons. It's literally in the Michael Scott sense of humor circle, it's so ridiculously funny, very similar to the works of David Wain, like Wet Hot American Summer, obviously wouldn't expect less from Steve Carell. I laugh my ass of in every episode. The scream in the first credits is just everything. And one of the best things about this show is the guest stars. Bill Murray is in episode 7. This show definitely deserves to be seen more, it is absolutely funny, entertaining and well made. These days good comedies are just really rare, both in cinema and tv. But this one delivers, of course you have to like it's postmodern sense of humor. If you're hesitant about it, watch Wet Hot American Summer 2001 or The Came Together 2014 by David Wain, and see if you liked those give this one a watch to laugh maybe twice as much. because the sense of humor is completely alike, but i like this one better. I became a fan just 4 episodes in and recommend it to people with ridiculous and weird sense of humor. I'm gonna go back to laughing my ass off... P.S: The one point i cut from this was because they stopped doing that first credits scream after season 1. That was like one of the funniest things about this show. I love them so much that i might edit them back in myself just so that i could enjoy it as i want.

After a satire of tough female role and blatant product placement in just five minutes, it's clear that Angie Tribeca doesn't follow normal procedural rule, or any coherent rule for that matter. However, it does follow in the footstep of Naked Gun, while this is nice since the slapstick comedy hasn't had any addition for a while, there are some lingering crude moments that might just be too unsavory for the comedy to properly work.

This is a psychical comedy in heart, mocking the cop shows in an unapologetic fashion. Honestly, it's rather expected that a parody of CSI and the likes would appear. Angie Tribeca has some good moments, it's nice to see this kind of brash humor once in a while. The nifty parts offer funny approach and commentary of the typical more serious shows, a few surprising guest stars like Lisa Kudrow or Alfred Molina is oddly appreciated.

The main problem is the jokes used are heavy-handed and repetitive. This might be fine if said jokes hit the mark, something like the bits with the dog might be fun to watch, but if it fails then audience is left with one or two long minutes of seeing the same joke ham-fisted over and over again. Most of the humor comes from physical, played in the exaggerated manner to draw any interest or attention, but also inconsistently thrown out there.

Angie Tribeca mainly has a few ideas of humor and shoots them wildly and eccentrically. When it hits, it could be highly entertaining, but if it doesn't audience is left with graceless drunken exhibition of slapstick, but the all-in attitude might just work in their favor.

If you didn't grow up in the 90s with PoliceSquad and Naked Gun this might be new and innovative. It's so close

to both that I suspect a tribute more than a knock off. The deadpan humour still works. Maybe not material to fill 10 seasons; it definitely is a good laugh.

Jones will always be hilarious. The drawback of these kind of shows is that the style becomes a one trick pony of situational humour and word games. Once you figured it out it becomes predictable. Until then it is absolutely still worth it as a 80ies tribute.

Having had my share of Flying high, naked gun and police Squad it's a little too obvious.

Angie Tribeca (Rashida Jones) is a member of the Really Heinous Crimes Unit in the LAPD. DJ Tanner (Deon Cole), Jay Geils (Hayes MacArthur), and canine David Hoffman are her fellow investigators. Chet Atkins (Jere Burns) is her boss. Monica Scholls (Andree Vermeulen) is the medical examiner.

This is an outlandish network cop show spoof from TBS. It's extremely silly done with a straight face. It's cute. It's fun. It's got a great cast led by Rashida Jones. It's CSI done with Airplane! sensibilities. It's nice.
