East New York

It's another cop show but this time it has some character and realistic story in the episodes. It's so nice to see a female lead as the commander and how she portrays herself is admirable: respectful, firm and fair. Unlike the other cop show FBI where the female lead is disrespectful, rude and obnoxious in the show but i do think that's her normal characteristics.

This show is worth watching good acting, good script and engaging.

Can't understand why I need to write 600 characters to review a show.

So I will have to repeat myself, good show watch it if you like cops show. Very realistic about the drama police persons face on a daily basis.

Thankfully not your usual procedural!

The acting is good. Refreshing approach that doesn't follow the tired procedural storyline franchises. Character driven story lines are engaging and allow for many possibilities in the future. I've only watched three episodes so far and each one has started developing characters. The idea of a policeman living in the crime ridden area to connect with the people is interesting. The premise of the story at this stage is to restore some peace to the area. However the new police chief and the characters of the various beat cops and detectives is also a focus.

Black deputy Inspector Regina Haywood (Amanda Warren) gets promoted to be the new leader of NYPD's 74th precinct in East New York, Brooklyn. She has some new ideas and intends to implement them despite resistance from the old guard. Assistant Chief John Suarez (Jimmy Smits) is her protective superior. Captain Stan Yenko (Richard Kind) becomes her executive officer. Officer Marvin Sandeford is the skeptical veteran as he mentors new recruit Officer Andre Bentley. Brandy Quinlan is the young officer eager to change the system. Detectives Tommy Killian and Crystal Morales are detective partners.

This is a solid police drama. It has a reliable veteran like Jimmy Smits. The cast looks great. I would dial back some of the progressive politics early on and add more of the political corruption. It's a really good show. In years past, it would be given time to build an audience, but that's not the world today. This show has no connections to other shows and no cross promotion possibilities. CBS cancels this after one season.

I tuned in for the first episode without knowing much about this. I like shows like Chicago PD and Chicago Justice (so sad it got canceled) and Blue Bloods, even if it's a bit cheezy with all the saints stuff.

Anyways, this show seems to off to a god start. Fun seeing Jimmy Smiths back on the screen. He's good! And Richard Kind, he is just funny no matter what he is in. Love that guy. But just to be honest herem I wish cops would stop running around in "high heals" shoes. It's just plain dumb. Come on.

And it's all a bit Gangsters Paradise (Coolio) But now a days it's not easy to watch anything good on TV. So this actually is kind of a start of a new week treat. Keep em' coming.

And I'll sign off by saying Thank You America for giving us great TV-shows year after year. Greetings from a happy show lover from Norway.

Not without flaws but I felt some solid emotions out pilot. Nice diverse cast. So far i like all the characters which is rare. A cop show that just feels different in a good way. Hopefully it does well. I like the cop deputy/chief/I'm not sure if I got the title right. She's tough but shows emotional consideration. And just has a personality i don't see that often. I can see this show going places if it paces well and avoids predicatability. I'm curious about where the characters will go. The pilot has set up a lot so it will be interesting how they unfold going forward. I'll be watching and seeing if it meets up.
