We’re recommending Turner & Hooch mostly for the dog. ... Without Hooch, the show is mostly a generic basic-cable mystery series; if it can’t develop better relationships between its characters, the dog will still be the only thing keeping us watching.
-
The series does exactly what you would expect and exactly as well. ... It’s a show about a man and his drooling dog, and superficial emotions are the order of the day. Rinse and repeat for the remaining 11 episodes, plus a season arc about a big case Scott Sr was working on secretly when he died from an apparent heart attack.
-
Turner and Hooch has some fun with the concept of a buddy cop film between a reluctant human and his overwhelming dog, but its inability to get out of the shadow of what the film presented makes this a repetitive series that isn’t quite for anyone and is already stretching this premise extremely thin.
-
Peck is convincingly uptight and annoyed with Hooch, and has some nice dramatic moments as Scott uses the dog as a way to work through his grief about, and difficult relationship with, his dad. But he doesn’t share Hanks’ facility for squeezing life and laughs out of generic, expository dialogue — of which this show has quite a lot.
-
The lack of a clear objective also leaves the cast, including Peck, looking lost, though that may be a result of the choppy editing and strange blocking, which often gives the impression that the dog isn’t in the scene with his human counterparts.
-
A semi-confused cop drama that no amount of drooling and soulful puppy-dog eyes can fix.
-
More than anything, Turner & Hooch continues a recent trend of nostalgia pandering in which, if nothing else, the reboots are living up to the middling quality of the originals. ... A forgettable, one-joke series.
