Good Cop/Bad Cop

Leighton Meester and Luke Cook shine so far in this new series. These two are great actors and really sell the sibling dynamics. The characters bring a sense of balance and the supporting cast is a great amount of an extra kick and is complementary to the main detectives. I was laughing and enjoying the dialogue. The humor is injected at good points in the show and keeps the story moving along. I look forward to delving into the relationships and family dynamics as the 2 siblings solve crime and humorously get on each other's nerves. I'm really enjoying bringing together my love of procedural shows while enjoying the comedy break this show brings.

As with most new shows you expect there to be some time to develop characters and establish the protocols, but this show started well and just got better. The characters are charming and witty and even the misfit brother has some redeeming qualities.

Although the subject matter is heavy, they play it off in a light manner that just adds to the shows demeanor. I especially like the brother/sister play of the two detectives.

If you're looking for dark and meaningful, this show is not for you . . . But if you're looking for fun, and not taking things too seriously, I recommend that you give this show a try.

I'm looking forward to the next episode!

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.

It's fun to see Leighton Meester back in a series again. She and Luke Cook are perfectly cast. Cozy mystery with plenty of humor and interesting supporting characters. Can't wait to see how the rest of the series plays out. The premise is an interesting one, estranged brother and sister reunited since the brother needs a job and is desperate to be a detective. The brother has no social skills but is a savvy detective and the sister is the can-do anything detective who works hard and will be her dad's successor as chief. The acting is strong and there's definitely a romance or two on the horizons for the siblings that will make for interesting storylines.

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.
