On Call

This is a lot like Southland, yet there are considerable differences. The character development is quick, and pretty much centers on the training officer and the rookie, both of whom have a lot of baggage. There are quite a few predictable scenes, but the surprises outnumber those. No police procedural is anything like real law enforcement. But that's entertainment! In the end, the series is definitely worth watching, and I enjoyed it enough to binge watch it in one day with the excuse that it was cold outside. I'm certainly hoping there will be further seasons! I will be watching for it and waiting!

I have really enjoyed the show however have found the episodes to be too short for full development of characters and the story line although that is over story arcs i just feel that by having slightly longer epsisodes more could be achieved. I also would have liked to see more of Lieutenant Bishop protrayed by Lori Loughlin as she is the main reason I tuned in. I really liked the strength of the actors in the show as the female cast were not seen as weak and incapable, they were strong and equal to the male characters. Knowing that Eriq le Selle is at the helm of the show and staring in it was another draw and I think his characters and that of Lori Loughlin need more screen time as we didn't learn much about them as characters and what was driving their actions.

This is a surprise! Came out of nowhere too.

There's been a lot of disappointments of late so it's refreshing to see something positive.

Dick Wolf - can't bet against him. He knows his genre.

Love the fact this is set in LA. It's filmed really well. Innovative camerawork.

Love in this world of streamers padding TV out too long each episode we have one that is swift and to the point.

Great writing. I was addicted very quick and had to get through it all.

Excellent performances. Brandon Larracuente Is a revelation. The vulnerability and likability he brings is superior acting. Eriq LA Salle loved seeing him again.

Troian Bellisario Is good but a bit sterile would have liked her to be a bit more accessible.

Please bring on season 2. What a great series!!!

I really enjoyed this, binge watched the entire season in one run. Lots of Southland vibes (although not as good in my opinion), and nice to see a strong female lead who isn't some ridiculous looking femme fatale, a stereotype which Hollywood still seem to struggle with.

However I do think it got a little action movie toward the end, the last few episodes seemed rushed and some shootout screnes a bit too wild west. Harmon's old training officer came across very wooden on screen, not the best acting and the interactions between the two seemed very out of place compared to other performances such as the in car scenes where Harmon and Diaz are talking.

Overall a great watch but I think they need to push a little further in season 2 for this one to stick around.

Been waiting for a cop drama that could be close in comparison to Southland and Bosch...two of the best! Four episodes in and this show has delivered! Between the body worn camera views and in-car camera footage, the action scenes, it leaves you with and End of Watch/ Southland feel after each episode! So far, no corny, unbelievable investigations, seen on many police shows today, which has been nice to see! Hope it gets the traction it needs to stay around for a few seasons, and new cast members are brought in to continue the storyline. Was upset when Southland left, but this show has brought back those great episodes!
