Good Cop/Bad Cop

Good Cop Bad Cop grabbed me from the start. The Hickman family dynamics are genuinely entertaining and meaningful, making even the lighter moments feel worthwhile.

While realism takes a backseat (understandably, given the comedic nature), the humor lands perfectly-I haven't chuckled this much at a show in ages. A refreshing and unexpectedly delightful watch!

Elaborating on the character dynamics - their interactions are not only entertaining but also meaningful, adding depth to the story and making even the lighter, more comedic moments feel worthwhile. You genuinely care about these characters and their connection to each other.

So many shows & films these days rely on cheap gags or predictable setups, but Good Cop Bad Cop manages to be genuinely funny without resorting to these tired tropes or forcibly inserting it into scenes.

It was a refreshing and unexpectedly delightful watch, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lighthearted and entertaining show.

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.

The first episode is kinda a hard watch, for me anyway, but the more I watch, the better the episodes are getting. So far episode five has been my favorite I think. Just give it a try, it all really starts to grow on you around episode two or three. I *really* hope this show makes it, I haven't been this into a show in years.

I just finished watching the first episode, and I have to say, it's off to a pretty intriguing start! Every time Henry appeared on screen, I couldn't help but think, "This is exactly how Sheldon Cooper would act if he grew up and became a cop." The character's quirky, analytical, and socially awkward demeanor really gives off those Young Sheldon vibes, but in a fresh and entertaining way. It's like seeing Sheldon trade in his theoretical physics for a badge and a patrol car, and honestly, it works surprisingly well. While the comparison is hard to ignore, it doesn't take away from the show's charm-it actually adds a layer of humor and relatability. I'm curious to see how Henry's unique personality will play out in the context of police work and how it will clash or mesh with the other characters. For now, I'm hooked and definitely planning to keep watching. The show has potential, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here.

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.
