Deputy

Let's get this out of the way; the 1's are from people who looked at the premisse or the first minute and don't like that 'protect and serve' means every civilian. Or that a lesbian could be a fierce agent. Or that a cop show doesn't follow procedures to a T.

Forget those whiners, watch it yourself. It's entertaining, has a nice pace for the first episode and lays out the lines nice for the rest of the show.

The 8 is based on the first episode, and can change with the following episodes. Normally I don't give a review right away, but the cry babies need a bit of a counter balance.

I live in Australia, so all the US Laws I cannot/do not follow. I am oblivious about your Police Procedure, so loved this first episode. Stephen Dorff was brilliant and funny & his Personal Assistant is funny as all get out. Loved the action and the horse riding. The fact that I am crazy about this genre of TV/Movies helps the rating I gave it, considerably. Been waiting for something decent to watch along this line, since Yellowstone finished it's second season.

I find this show pretty even keeled so I don't get the comments on it being liberal. Guess I don't know what that means anymore since some people seem to like throwing that word as an insult. This has the beginnings of a great show that shows compassion for immigrants as well as toughness on gangs. Believe me this is no where in the category of PC new shows like 911- lone star. What, the powers that be cannot stand any opinion that does not totally agree with their own?

I've read the first line of the previous reviews. I don't feel that Deputy does have a political tone but in "real life" those usually the Sheriff who is an elected official will have to deal with so many political issues. Those political issues that the writers bring forth are making those show more believable. He goes out into the "trenches" and fights crime, has a family who loves and needs him, and his position is being compromised by a co-worker is was to be Sheriff. Too many people see everything as "political" instead of seeing the "big picture".

I was prepared not to like it. No it isn't Longmire. But it's showing promise. Make up your own mind.
