Season 1 Review:
It’s no surprise that Falco presides over all of this with aplomb. She’s instantly believable, instantly real. You’ll root for her take-no-prisoners Tommy, be frustrated for her, question her decisions, and admire her decisiveness. She’s everything you need in a lead character. It helps that Falco is supported by a strong cast.

Season 1 Review:
Edie Falco instantly elevates the role of Abigail "Tommy" Thomas, Los Angeles first female police chief, with emotional intelligence and sardonic wit. [3-16 Feb 2020, p.9]

Season 1 Review:
Falco, of course, is the main reason to tune in, even as “Tommy” struggles to match her range, from serious empathy to dry wit. ... The other reason to watch — indeed, the show’s true potential — is Tommy’s unflappable approach to good community policing, on a network that for too long has fetishized grisly murders and the wonders of DNA results.

Season 1 Review:
Where the show does best is in its treatment of Tommy’s private life. In depicting her tentative reconnection with her adult daughter (Olivia Lucy Phillip), a Angeleno-by-choice who left her work-crazed mom behind long ago, the show hits familiar beats nicely. ... A problem the show has yet to solve is that the kind of power she exercises when in uniform would tend to make her unknowable, and keeping her as open and big-hearted in every moment of the show’s running time defies belief.

Season 1 Review:
Although neatly episodic in one sense, “Tommy” also has a continuing subplot, the destination of which remains unclear but which makes the relationships among its characters amorphous and their intentions suspicious. The show could use better direction. But it certainly has a sinister undercurrent. ... It remains to be seen how well-suited Ms. Falco is to Tommy, or whether the dialogue gets any better.

Season 1 Review:
After the pilot, I was prepared to be enthusiastic about CBS having landed an above-average version of a very CBS-y show. After the second episode, I was prepared to savage the show. And after three? It's just another mediocre broadcast show that probably could have been a lot better.
