    I was looking forward to this but it went SJW within seconds (illegal not illegal? Give me a break.) The shaky, arty camera work is nauseating. Hard pass.

    First five minutes you know that this is a one season and out. Awaiting this for a while. Liked the cast but writing is cringeworthy. Hollywood special. Not Louis Lamor. PC undertones, plot holes, just ridiculous. Skip it.

    This could have been an amazing new show, instead they opted for more SJW pandering as usual. I'm done supporting shows like this.

    Enjoyable premise and usually easy to watch, but am finding the conflict within the top brass of the department a forced subplot. I’d just fire or demote the SOB who is causing me problems and be done with it.

    So how is the series going to get another season? The Deputy has to actually run for sheriff (contrary to his character) or the newly elected sheriffs need to keep dying of    Enjoyable premise and usually easy to watch, but am finding the conflict within the top brass of the department a forced subplot.

    So how is the series going to get another season? The Deputy has to actually run for sheriff (contrary to his character) or the newly elected sheriffs need to keep dying of inconvenient maladies. Maybe after doing the acting sheriff thing, he goes back to being a deputy, but gets promoted to downtown so the new sheriff and him can clean out the SOBs in the offices.

    Anyway, a decent version of the standard cops and robbers genre. Hope they don’t ruin it by making the Deputy actually run for sheriff.

    Addendum: They did what I predicted would not work for the character (a run for sheriff) and the show is toast. RIP Deputy, you had some potential but I knew it'd never stand in today's PC culture.    … Expand

    Deputy may overstep the bounds of reality with how far the show lets Hollister push his new powerful position, but I admire its commitment.

    All three entries [episodes] are as predictable as they are fine with being predictable. “Deputy” doesn’t give off so much as a whiff that it wants to be more than a by-the-book, case-of-the-week cop drama. ... That being said, all that formula makes for a solid foundation.

    It's silly, occasionally action-packed, rarely makes any sense at all and it's a little bit less reactionary than I feared.
