L.A.'s Finest: Unidas Contra o Crime

This is fun fast paced, with bit of 90s urban charm. Both Gabrielle Union and Jessica Abla have great chemistry, You'll definitely have a good time with this is, if you don't take life to serious and up for a few laughs , you will enjoy this .

I see a few people moaning because this is a spin off ,from bad boys with female characters. But it's not trying to be bad boys, it's just following Marcus sister Syd from bad boys 2 life as a cop and her partner . So treat it as it's own thing.

People today have this attitude because a show has female leads or LGBT character it's some agenda,but we have had females, POC and LGBT leads on TV for a decades now, that's because the world is a diverse place , and television reflects that, it's nothing special it's pretty average. People's identities aren't political, they're just people living their life's .

I may be biased as a huge Jess Alba fan, but is the show really that bad? Love the characters but I just know shows like this doesn't last more than 2 seasons. Has so much potential but honestly not a bad watch. Typical LA, bad boys storyline but in some ways, loving the two female leads!

I so wanted to like this show but struggled to get through the first episode. to many cliché and trys way to hard to be edgy. canceled after 1 season to be sure. theres so many good cop shows out there at the minute, no point wasting your time with this one.

I'm shocked at so many bad reviews.

Bad boys was full of this same cheesiness. It's a great entertaining show to relax and unwind watching but still keeps you guessing

Two positives and two negatives:

Pros: 1) Jerry Bruckheimer produced - so the filming, action, close-up scenes have a movies feel. Not cheesy.

2) Alba and Union are strong. The roles are playful, confident, sexy.

Cons: 1) The writing / scripting has some gaps in plot development. That's probably why reviews are low.

2) most episodes are 45 mins. Creating enough depth in that timeframe seems tough.

Conclusion: It's not trying to be a super serious NY style cop show. For better or for worse remember it's modelled after the BadBoys movie franchise. And it's got the swearing and nudity of the movies, a fresh feel for a tv series (meaning most hospital and law enforcement series are on network tv which doesn't allow it).

Watch 1-2 episodes and decide if it's your style. I liked it.
