Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
This is as slick as prime-time gets, a clever amalgam of TV drama and
Broadway musical. ... Still, it seems a shame that so much writing, acting and musical talent is being devoted to such tired and simplistic polemics. [26 Sep 1990]

Season 1 Review:
Certain scenes are powerful, even exhilarating. Others don't work at all. [23 Sep 1990]

Season 1 Review:
Cop Rock is neither a realistic police drama nor a convincing musical. It's an experiment that's rarely arresting. [26 Sep 1990, p.D1]

Season 1 Review:
The songs in the pilot weren't top-notch [Randy] Newman — if you heard them on one of his albums, you'd think he had lost his touch. And if a songwriter as gifted as Newman can't redeem Bochco's concept, how will any of the other, probably lesser, talents that Bochco will employ on future episodes fare any better? It's too bad, because without the music, Cop Rock is a solid cop show.
