    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.

    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

    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.

    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, but it has not.

    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.
    I would check the spoilers box but I have no idea what it pertains to in this context.

    When I first heard about the show's premise, I thought, "No freakin way!" But since nothing else was on, I gave it a shot. I must say that Brooklyn Taxi is surprisingly entertaining! And no more unbelievable than Castle.
    The cast chemistry is stellar and the writing is witty.
    I'm hooked!

    This show was ok at first, but after few episodes go really, really bad. It's like completely different writers are working on it now. 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,This show was ok at first, but after few episodes go really, really bad.

And don't get me started on episode before that one. Writers on this show are total retards.… Expand

    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.

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

    While there are many reasons to like Taxi Brooklyn, including and especially its two fresh and likable leads, it too often wobbles and stalls, unwilling to commit to one type of storytelling or the other.

    Perhaps over that time, it will evolve into the buddy dramedy it needs to be. Until then, though, it's just another police procedural, and prime time already has plenty of those.
