Good Cop/Bad Cop

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 had a sense that this show would be ok, but I wasn't prepared to like it this much. It has something I am not sure what it is, it's easy, light, kind, charming, whatever it is, the first episode made me feel good about it and myself. I hope it will get better or at least not get worse. I loved the characters and the dialogue...after hundreds of too dark too violent shows something like this feels even more human in a good way. I love the jokes, the interactions, the setting is very nice, the only problem I have is with a few minor characters but I think they will fall into place going forward.

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.

Leighton Meester and Luke Cook shine so far in this new series. These two are great actors and really sell the sibling dynamics. The characters bring a sense of balance and the supporting cast is a great amount of an extra kick and is complementary to the main detectives. I was laughing and enjoying the dialogue. The humor is injected at good points in the show and keeps the story moving along. I look forward to delving into the relationships and family dynamics as the 2 siblings solve crime and humorously get on each other's nerves. I'm really enjoying bringing together my love of procedural shows while enjoying the comedy break this show brings.

As with most new shows you expect there to be some time to develop characters and establish the protocols, but this show started well and just got better. The characters are charming and witty and even the misfit brother has some redeeming qualities.

Although the subject matter is heavy, they play it off in a light manner that just adds to the shows demeanor. I especially like the brother/sister play of the two detectives.

If you're looking for dark and meaningful, this show is not for you . . . But if you're looking for fun, and not taking things too seriously, I recommend that you give this show a try.

I'm looking forward to the next episode!
