There’s something lighthearted about the proceedings, murder and mayhem aside, because the show is more interested in the character drama than the procedure. Taxi Brooklyn embraces the New York-ness of both its main characters, and that bodes well for its future--and provides something fascinating to watch through the summer, in the meantime.

A pretty spry police procedural. A lot of the credit goes to the chemistry between stars Chyler Leigh (the Brooklyn-raised detective) and Jacky Ido (the French-born cabbie). [27 Jun 2014, p.57] Read full review

Taxi Brooklyn isn’t a game-changer, but it’s a well-written, solid summer offering that’s worth checking out. Read full review

If you like some of those undemanding USA shows, you just might cotton to this one. Taxi Brooklyn requires no thinking--in fact, it discourages thinking. Ido is winning, too, which helps matters. Read full review

[A] too glossy, too skeletal procedural. Read full review

While Ms. Leigh’s character is a pastiche of cliched archetypes, Mr. Ido’s taxi-driving scoundrel is a charmer. But it will take more than charm to watch Taxi Brooklyn and not feel like you’re being taken for a ride you’ve been on too many times before. Read full review

Pardonne-moi, but car chases and creative cinematography aren’t enough to make up for lame jokes and hackneyed storylines. Read full review

Love this show. Both main characters provide surprises and unexpected laughter. The suspense and plot twists blow us away. I hope that the network keeps these get cast on the air. If the first shows are any indication they can continue to draw us in to the plot and the people.

Great chemistry and humor. The writing is full of enjoyable surprises. Excellent show. Succeeds where Brooklyn Nine-Nine is more like a Saturday night Live skit with lots of goofy clowning, Brooklyn Taxi is a screwball comedy like those from the thirties and forties that were well written.

I think this is a great new cop show not sure how far they can take it with taxi driver not being a cop but it is a funny new idea for cop show. I really hope it makes it for a whole season at least

The premise is a little weird, a cop using a taxi to get around, but it works. The characters are evolving and the cast clicks. Still looking forward to finding out the background of the French taxi driver. It is entertaining which is why I watch TV.

Hit man is trapped in hospital room surround by cops then he shoots his way out by destroying everything on a nurses station counter. How stupid do the writers think their audience is? And the taxi driver does not seem foreign enough to be a taxi driver in NY.

Worst show on TV. Bad acting, bad dialog, & lame stories. The main character is the worst imaginable detective. Everything she thinks is wrong while the taxi driver that drives her around sees all the clues and figures out each case. I keep hoping that it will get better with time, butWorst show on TV.

In last episode, when a gang of thugs attacked the police precinct, they tried to call for a backup on a landline, but it was disconnected. So they decided to hide and wait it out, while those thugs were throwing molotovs through windows. Because, you know, cellphones stop working when you cut the cord. And don't get me started on episode before that one. Writers on this show are total retards.… Expand
