Good Cop/Bad Cop

A wholesome, wonderful little show that proves sometimes the simple pleasures are the most satisfying. The chemistry between Leighton Meester and Luke Cook is excellent-they convincingly embody siblings with such natural rapport that it spills over into their real-life press appearances, which actually inspired me to watch the show in the first place. Clancy Brown delivers a relatable performance as the patriarch, perfectly capturing that small-town nepotism mixed with benevolent corruption.

This isn't an instant hit, cult classic, or high art-but it doesn't need to be. It's just genuinely charming, endearing, and just funny enough to keep you coming back. Sometimes that's exactly what you need.

I don't think this show is trying to be anything more than it is. Easy watch, easy premise, and overall enjoyable. Fun detective stories with a brother and sister back and forth - I think in this climate we need stuff that helps us shut off.

I need some fun in my entertainment with a semi predictable storyline's but with a different structure of family. I really hope this show gets picked up and continues. Plus I like anything supporting the Australian filming economy and Australian actors. I think this could be great for numerous reasons. Good fun - give it a try. It's no Sherlock Holmes but it's genuine fun.

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.

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 in 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!

The side casts 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.

It's fun to see Leighton Meester back in a series again. She and Luke Cook are perfectly cast. Cozy mystery with plenty of humor and interesting supporting characters. Can't wait to see how the rest of the series plays out. The premise is an interesting one, estranged brother and sister reunited since the brother needs a job and is desperate to be a detective. The brother has no social skills but is a savvy detective and the sister is the can-do anything detective who works hard and will be her dad's successor as chief. The acting is strong and there's definitely a romance or two on the horizons for the siblings that will make for interesting storylines.
