    There’s sometimes enough in Good Cop/Bad Cop to set it aside from everything else in its range, but watching the episodes feels, after a little while, more passive than it should. Most of the jokes are forecast long in advance, the playful dialogue between characters feels rote, and the interpersonal relationships are nothing we haven’t seen before.

    The series is pleasant enough, but there’s also a flatness to it because it lacks a compelling binding agent underneath Lou and Henry’s mutual annoyance.
