Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydOct 17, 2025
Season 1 Review: Each series, not necessarily because they’re female forward, which they are, has a sentimental streak — an impulse toward kindness any cop show, or actual police department, can use. Each is built closely and efficaciously along the lines of their respective motherships, which is to say, crowds will be pleased. I have no complaints myself. .... The series begins in a light mood, almost like a small-town comedy with cops. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Sheriff Country has already set up some good stories and rivalries in its first episode, and Baccarin strikes the right tone as a person who wants to keep her hometown safe. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s more character-driven than many CBS procedurals, at least in its first episode. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Sheriff Country needs to figure itself out, and quickly. It absolutely has the potential to do so, but it needs to happen sooner rather than later because viewers aren’t going to extend patience when there’s so much other content to watch. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Neither Mickey nor her deputies Cassidy (Michele Weaver) and Boone (Matt Lauria) distinguish themselves from so many TV cops past. If “Fire Country” really does have the makings of a full-blown franchise, they’re not on display here. Read full review
