I love seeing a powerful woman in a position that has historically been male dominated in the real world.
Gives a glimpse into how women respond to leadership. Confident/powerful but still humble, strong/fierce without losing compassion, brilliant/passionate yet open to hearing/encouraging ideas and views brought forth by others.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the character of Tommy evolves!

Good decent show

I don't understand why this is getting so many horrible reviews.
severinc00220 March 2020
I hadn't started watching till I had a little extra time to catch up on the DVR today. My expectations were low, since people were complaining about another radical lefty preachy type show with emphasis on a gay female "powerful woman" boss. Well, okay, she's all of that, but she's also got a Tom Selleck streak. She sticks up for her cops, bashes on reporters, has a touch of humor. Plus it's Edie Falco! I wish more people would give this one a chance.

I Loved It

I don't know what show the other people who wrote reviews here were watching, but I loved it. They whine about the show being too "political" or filled with "hot button" issues. Well, sorry, not sorry to the complainers, if your delicate sensibilities are offended by the realities of our world today, but it is what it is. Why shouldn't television shows reflect that? For me it made the show more interesting. When it ended, I wanted more.
A great storyline, social relevance, a strong cast and an always charismatic Edie Falco make this show something I will be watching. Maybe the others should stick to Sponge Bob.

I was looking forward to this as a fan of Edie Falco. But, good lord, the scripts are poorly written and some scriptwriter needs to put the infantile, whiny character of Kate (and by association her husband) out of everyone's misery. Bring in some better writers and I'll keep watching but not until.
Edie Falco is back!

A good show becomes an unintended thrilling miniseries
pietclausen23 May 2020
When this series initially started apprehension existed about the new chief of police, being a lesbian. This fortunately only played a minor role but had many viewers worried throughout the series.
The show became a slick fast moving and exciting story which reached its crescendo in episode 12, the final episode.
Regretfully this series has not been renewed.
Nevertheless, If you like an interesting and different cop show with a complete ending, give it a try - it will not disappoint.

The has the making it do a decent albeit not a great cop show.
The characters are developing and only time will judge.
Not all cop shows need to be filled with violence to make a good story.
If you nay sayers need something to trash, start with "Survivor"

As expected, Edie is fabulous. However, this is extremely liberal. So much so, that twenty minutes in, I knew exactly where it was headed. I was correct. I was looking forward to an awesome new show. It's not going to materialize. The writers chose a different avenue.
Well done with complex characters, good story & inspiring moments

Had really low expectations with the ridiculously low rating of 4.8*@146v (think I also saw it at 1.2* earlier).
What's up with the hate on shows/movies with female leads, who may or may not be gay?? Batwoman, Captain Marvel (on RT), etc.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to episode 2 and the rest of season 1.
Here we go again
geoffcampbell-2715328 February 2020
I could care less Edie plays a gay woman but these leftists tv companies quit poring the you hate for ice,,trump, poor illegals save them from the mean ice agents if I was illegally in another country they would deport me it looks like a good show I'll give till the third episode if it keeps up I'll pass on it
Best network TV show in years!!

I like it
joewissing21 February 2020
I have never watched Edie Falco shows but I do like the California spin opposite of Blue Bloods. The casting looks good and not full of blood, guts and gore of other shows.
I thought it might be another political smash and grab at first but it did not turn into a conservative comedy like other CBS shows.
I did have to do a rewind when it appeared Martin Milner from Adam-12 was escorting Arturo out of his house.

No acting!
aky13-115 February 2020
Edie Falco, fantastic as Nurse Jackie, is horrendous as LAPD Chief. Very few of the cast are believable which is my criterion for judging acting. Most are flat and without emotion. The story lines are not new and not interesting to me. Two episodes and I'm out!
Tommy best network show in years
tleegraves9 February 2020
Solid writing, character development, and acting from all roles.
Interesting political commentary.
Interesting and real life dilemmas for the characters.
Every low rating I've seen is because of the personal bigotry of the reviewer.

Not perfect, but not the worst

Surprised by the hate. It certainly does try and tick all the boxes in terms of political correctness. However, I think the storyline will hopefully tighten up. Eddie Falcon is as great as always, and certainly made the show worth watching. Hopefully, it gets to run out the season and can grow into itself.
Oh dear

Who are the Haters who panned this series?
hitesdru-162-4426118 February 2020
I just watched the first episode and loved it. The writing was fresh & peppy. Kinda reminded me of West Wing in that I rewound to make sure I caught all the repartee & underlying meaning. Characters like the jaded mayor who still had morals, the police chief who eschews politics & has a knack for surrounding herself with good people, the ex-Chief with a smarmy past are all great. I jumped to find out more about it & was shocked by the hater reviews posted about this show. They all seem written by the same person, a thin skinned troll fearful of a strong female character. I'm going to continue with TOMMY and can't wait for the next episode.
Benefit of the doubt...for now

Warning: Spoilers
Episode 2 - traffic stop gone bad, because driver doesn't speak English. Isn't English a requirement to get a CDL? I'm confused about what was going on there. In a town where hatred for cops runs rampant why wouldn't a new cop show address that? I'll keep watching for a while, but I'm leary that this will be a cop show with the same B.S.
Still not working for me
lynne-2755617 February 2020
Stayed for the 2nd episode. Michael Chernus and Russell Jones are obviosly good actors, and natural in their characters. They're relaxed and believable. They could draw me right into a story. Unfortunately, that's it. The rest of the cast, including Edie Falco, appear to be just walking through their roles - reading their lines. Edie Falco isn't believable as Chief of Police - the whole thing seems disjointed, no flow - none of this is working. Poor writing, poor acting, poor dialogue, poor. I'm done.
Strangely addictive
