I need to confess my love for this show. Metacritic doesn't even think enough of it to give the seasons their own ratings/review page, lol. This is such a silly show, the speed at which "cases" and incidents that appear each week areI need to confess my love for this show. Metacritic doesn't even think enough of it to give the seasons their own ratings/review page, lol. This is such a silly show, the speed at which "cases" and incidents that appear each week are wrapped up is supersonic, with what are supposedly lifelong hardened criminals simply admitting to things outright, or finalizing 2 minute shootouts. It's very silly, but it's also really very sweet. Tuned in at first for Nate, because he's the man, but the rest of the cast preform admirably, and it's one of my favorite shows of the week. It's trite by any estimation, but it's fun, funny, and like a Sunday night hug.… Expand

What an incredible series! Something original and worth staying indoors! The story has so much laughter, drama and excitement in it...

I have enjoyed the show. The cop scenes have all been done before, but the show is really about the characters interaction. It's decent work.

The cop scenes have all been done before, but the show is really about the characters interaction. It's decent work. They've done a pretty good job at showing characters in multiple lights - often total jerks but then give more information to show they are human. The first two seasons, the politics was ever present, but kept to a minimum. Season 3 is getting far more woke. So far it is just annoying - they made the obligatory racist cop shows - but at least they mde it about a single cop, but the non-stop "cleaning up the force" or "it's not any better that it used to be" got pretty old. The episode 6 anti-cop bits undermine the show. If the politics get any stronger, even Nathan Fillion won't be able to help.… Expand

This show is great to me and I have watched every episode since the first season. I will watch this show every week till they stop the running of this series. I really hope this series has more years to come.

Amending my review, in general it is a great show. Lots of heart. I watch it to decompress after a stressful day. Please extend for Season 5. However, season 3 is so heavy-handed with the social messaging - there should be drinking gameAmending my review, in general it is a great show. Lots of heart. I watch it to decompress after a stressful day. Please extend for Season 5. However, season 3 is so heavy-handed with the social messaging - there should be drinking game devoted to it. It's so obvious that it is jarring. I can support the issues - but it is so over-the-top and most of it is presented without any nuance.… Expand

A Série é muito boa, Policiais Novatos em treinamento, porém tudo é muito exagerado, ainda mais para policiais que usam câmeras... todo mundo vê que ele está certo, e criam um drama absurdo como se eles fossem ser demitidos... No começo éA Série é muito boa, Policiais Novatos em treinamento, porém tudo é muito exagerado, ainda mais para policiais que usam câmeras... todo mundo vê que ele está certo, e criam um drama absurdo como se eles fossem ser demitidos... No começo é muito tiro, depois a série começa a focar nos relacionamentos, o que pode atrapalhar um pouco, porém não dá pra acreditar que a LAPD tenha tiroteios e terroristas para prender todos os dias, então vc começa a conhecer melhor os personagens... a 5 Temporada terminou de forma excelente e deixou vontade de assistir a 6 temporada!… Expand
