    Great New series! Love the ideas it proposes. Love the nod to a Tony Stark like persona. Love the Tech. It is like Knight Rider merging with TJ Hooker, from those from the 80's.

    I loved the concept of this show. The technology and the plot is awesome, but it is still in the beginning stages and a little awkward. I believe it will be a much better show in the second season.

    APB is simply the best cop show to hit the TV since Hawaii 5.0 started 7 years ago. Super good ideas for future law enforcement. Non stop hard hitting.

    For the critics and those who think fictional tv drama should mirror real life, may I suggest documentaries, as this is entertainment.
    APB is written fairly well, the acting is good, and the characters are like-able . I hope to see multiple seasons of this show.
    I am aware that it does not portray police procedural whatever to the tee, or that the plot line is not plausible, but hey    For the critics and those who think fictional tv drama should mirror real life, may I suggest documentaries, as this is entertainment.

    I like this show a lot - just got done watching episode 8 of season 1. I like the technology angle and the cast is pretty cool because many of them are unknowns just trying to get started. Give it a shot - my wife and I have enjoyed it so far.

    One of the most realistic type shows on with the technology that would scare,criminals to death. Wish it were real to take care of today's issues with criminals, wouldn't that be awesome, I love this show.

    This show is awesome!!!!! We love it, and just because there are idiotic people out there that look at this show and say it isn't real well guess what E.T. Wasn't real either get over it and shut up! Leave the show alone it's great.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A cool procedure show soo far with potential to expandes new stories. The cast is good with Justin Kirk leadind the way as a "Tony Stark" running a Police District and hiting the streets hightech devices. Just want to see what the future of this story.… Expand

    I've been watching this show since it launched. Initially its broad brushes felt like a bridge too far, but as its matured, the backstories, in concert with its suggested technologies, have become more evocative. Hope it manages to get picked up for a second full season, I'd like to see what they come up with next.

Oh, and just for the record, there aren't any technologies that aren't already available, or on the shelf. The only thing that's a stretch, is Reeves' building new systems and deploying them in an hour or two. But then, what do you expect? He only has an hour work with every week? ;>)… Expand

    Best new series - excellent cast, acting & filming. A realistic Sci-Fi with cool Tech and lots of action. I love the humor Justin Kirk brings to the role. Very reminiscent of Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark. I can't understand how anyone would give this show less than 8 out of 10 - its better than almost any other show that has come out lately. Maybe it jut isn't "arty-farty" enough for allBest new series - excellent cast, acting & filming. A realistic Sci-Fi with cool Tech and lots of action.

    The only way it would be watchable is if it was some kind of Robocop deal--and that's a 20th century idea. No, this is just another in a very large pile of not-very-good ideas that got turned into a TV show. Go play with one of your apps instead.

    In the early going, APB is as generic as its title, failing to give us characters or stories that feel remotely realistic.

    APB never settles its own version of its existential dilemma: man or machine? It argues for both. But as this uninspiring drama proves, sometimes when you split the difference, you end up with nothing.
