    What we have here is yet another attempt by a TV network to capitalize on a popular movie but the results ends up falling flat on the ground. One cannot be critical of the actors and writers without casting blame on the network executives who gave the go-ahead for this show to be telecast in the first place.

    This is absolutely one of the worst TV series I have ever seen. Not only does it use a cult movie's name, it also manages to be completely out of focus. And also, I would seriously look into that baboon's appearance, it seems obvious it is an outrageous case of animal exploitation.

    Sucks that Bill Paxton died. He made this unnecessary show better than it had a right to be. He owned his character and made Training Day watchable. I just hope they don't try to replace him.
    No Paxton, no show. He's why I even watched. Despite the name Training Day holding back some people from checking it out. This isn't a bad show.

    Don't Believe these crappy reviews. Paxton (RIP) was knocking it out of the park. It is a fun interesting show. Now with Paxton passing.. I'm afraid it will be gone. Was a great show so far.

    It started as an insult to whites, then blacks and continued as an insult to latinos...but most of all it is a slap in the face on human inteligence.
    Stealing the name of a cult movie such as "Training Day" for this huge pile of sh*t is a cinematic sacrilege.

    Forget the movie this is named after, its a gimmick at best. This series explores more of what I believe the movie was driving to do; a cop that has decided to behave how circumstance has thrown him and regardless, has stayed as a cop.

    There was some violence, some contrived scenes, and the episode itself was designed around a single story hook.

    There was some violence, some contrived scenes, and the episode itself was designed around a single story hook.

    I can say, there is no way an episode does a series make; the acting was good, the direction is misguided but the development quality is apparent, its well done for being a single episode, and I say this in the face of being a pessimist; it holds promise if the development keeps this level engagement in the series.    … Expand

    Smoothing off some of the rogue cop’s edges, ironically, makes Paxton’s acting job more difficult. He has keep reminding us that he’s contemptuous of many law enforcement standards while at the same time throwing out hints he still harbors some deep and real humanity.Roarke sometimes lurches a little from this balancing act, at least in the early going, and that can throw off other characters as well.

    While viewers might be hesitant to watch Training Day, they might find themselves wanting to give it a chance because of Paxton. They probably should. They just shouldn’t expect it to remind them of the movie.

    TThe writing is stilted, with every other sentence from Rourke's mouth a ready-made movie poster tagline.
