It doesn’t break new ground. It’s akin to “Dragnet” — nothing but the facts — or the original “Hawaii Five-0” or “Adam-12.” The real weakness is the characters’ softness and lack of complexity.
-
It’s clear that On Call wants to pay tribute to the complexity of this profession, without falling victim to either pure copaganda or abolish-the-police sermonizing. But the changes it makes from familiar formulas are almost insultingly cosmetic, and the serialized portion of its storyline is soapy and cartoonish.
-
On Call has a nice pace to it, and the performances of Bellisario and Larracuente are understated and effective. Sure, it’s a police procedural, but at least its format and subject matter are a little different than what we normally see.
