1st off, I'm a MAGA, right wing, Ditto head, retired peace officer. I'm enjoying this show. Yes, there are many left leaning scenes in the show, but the over all stories are good, for what it is. It's a cop show made by Hollywood. The "Deputy " is like a lot of upper brass I have worked with and trained over my 25 years in law enforcement. I watched officers do the job right beside me, then they promote and they sell their souls. They hang up their sam Browne, their baton, boots and flashlight, most with human tissue still in the cracks. Then as Lieutenants, Captains and higher they will burn you for the things they did when they were beat cops. That said. This show got many things right. Upper brass trying to burn the little guy, building their upper echelon as they want it. Trying to remove anyone they don't want in their command. Dead on. Liberals exist, this is a fact. They are among us. In my circle of friends and family. Luckily we all get along. The fact that the Sheriff goes out on busts, and gets into shootouts, Hollywood bs. But the show is gritty and shows some of the ugly sides of law enforcement .is it real?, no. Can a Conservative enjoy it?, this one does.

Sadly, I don't think it will last between suspect script and ratings/reviews. The action and acting is decent and Bex Taylor's character starting to show promise. I will keep watching and hoping it'll last the complete season.

Recommend patience if you start watching as it does have some resemblance to Justified and Longmire regardless of the naysayers, lol.

These bad reviews are hilarious. So much hurt feewings! This show has promise, it's still too early to tell, but I'm curious to see where it goes. Dorff has always had a precense about him, and it's on full display here.

Reading the comments wow... It's like listening to a bunch of cry babies who's tv channel got changed in the middle Telly Tubbies or Spongebob then wah wah wah....gmafb! Dirty Harry getting rid of the dirt

I am very excited to finally see another show that pushes back at the corruption that everyday people have learned to live with. This show is a good example that one person with the support of good people, can make a difference, even when pressured by political & social influences. I hope the negative review by people with only one point of view in life, does not lessen the FACT that this is a good show for today's times. I will continue to watch & enjoy the show. I hope you all do the same.

I live in Australia, so all the US Laws I cannot/do not follow. I am oblivious about your Police Procedure, so loved this first episode. Stephen Dorff was brilliant and funny & his Personal Assistant is funny as all get out. Loved the action and the horse riding. The fact that I am crazy about this genre of TV/Movies helps the rating I gave it, considerably. Been waiting for something decent to watch along this line, since Yellowstone finished it's second season.

I wouldn't say this series is particularly groundbreaking but it is decent and defo not as bad as some people are making it out to be. Some people are so used to picking holes in everything and analysing it to the nth degree that they forget that it's here to be enjoyed and we are there to be entertained. Political this, lazy story that, just get out of the critics chair and just sit back and try and watch it without wondering why this happens and why that didn't.

I love Stephen Dorff and was really looking forward to this project. However as all things go in Hollywood, the writers had to spin a political viewpoint within the first minute. I'm just not going to sit through another liberal dominated opinion piece. Time to go read a good book.

I find this show pretty even keeled so I don't get the comments on it being liberal. Guess I don't know what that means anymore since some people seem to like throwing that word as an insult. This has the beginnings of a great show that shows compassion for immigrants as well as toughness on gangs. Believe me this is no where in the category of PC new shows like 911- lone star. What, the powers that be cannot stand any opinion that does not totally agree with their own?

I was prepared not to like it. No it isn't Longmire. But it's showing promise. Make up your own mind.

Hollywood PC from the first sentence. I'd rather watch paint dry. Entertain me. Don't lecture me.

I've read the first line of the previous reviews. I don't feel that Deputy does have a political tone but in "real life" those usually the Sheriff who is an elected official will have to deal with so many political issues. Those political issues that the writers bring forth are making those show more believable. He goes out into the "trenches" and fights crime, has a family who loves and needs him, and his position is being compromised by a co-worker is was to be Sheriff. Too many people see everything as "political" instead of seeing the "big picture".

Too woke for me. couldn't make it to the end of the first episode. i'm getting really sick of all those propaganda tv shows and movies.

So far so good. Decent cast, good themes. I hope all the 1 stars don't dissuade people from giving it an honest try. One of my old fav's is The Riffleman. This show isn't the same but does have similar themes.

I love this show... I love the work Stephen Dorff is doing... and The Supporting Cast is terrific... I feel it's one of the best shows of the season!

Check your brain at the door and sit back and enjoy. Very good performances from all the main characters. If you are looking for EMMY worthy writing, this show is not for you. If you are looking for a Police procedural with an old west vibe, likeable main characters , action and some heart- give it a whirl. Very entertaining.

I was very excited when I saw the advertisement for this new TV show. I absolutely loved Longmire and I love all of the Goodnight series of movies on TV. I thought that it might be something like that, I was ready for a good cop show with a western type of theme. After the first 15 minutes I was totally turned off by the political BS with the whole immigration talk. I continued to watch it hoping that it was just going to be that little bit in the beginning, but the longer I watched it the more I just couldn't take it anymore. I really don't understand why they would want to alienate half of their audience from the get go. I guess you have to be a liberal to enjoy this series. I couldn't even get through the first episode before I pressed the delete button.

Let's get this out of the way; the 1's are from people who looked at the premisse or the first minute and don't like that 'protect and serve' means every civilian. Or that a lesbian could be a fierce agent. Or that a cop show doesn't follow procedures to a T.

Forget those whiners, watch it yourself. It's entertaining, has a nice pace for the first episode and lays out the lines nice for the rest of the show.

The 8 is based on the first episode, and can change with the following episodes. Normally I don't give a review right away, but the cry babies need a bit of a counter balance.

I don't give a crap what anyone thinks. This is a solid show. I'm not a sheep and I have my own opinion unlike everyone else on this app. God I hate people sometimes. They are just pathetic sheep. WTch the show for yourself and make up your own mind. It's not the greatest show but it's solid and I watch it on Hulu.

From the very first scene, you know what you're getting yourself into. Political rhetoric is glaring, the acting is stiff and uninspired and the writing is just lazy and overflowing with clichés. Really wanted to like this show, but episode one made it nearly impossible.

This show is all about a man full of love. He loves his wife. (She is a surgeon. She saves his life when he is shot, and when he is stabbed.) He loves his daughter. He loves his Godson. He loves his father ( who has dementia and does not always know who he is.) He loves his fellow deputies. He loves the people of Los Angeles county. He loves his horse. The only thing he does not love, is the politics of being the Sheriff of Los Angeles county. The stories each week are a little weak.

Iam surprised at the really bad reviews , its no Blue bloods but i do find it entertaining ..

Went political in first 30 seconds.. could have been so much more...

This isn't so bad I don't get all the 1/10 reviews it's an easy watch acting is average, I don't get all the people going on about politics it's a show about cops take it for what it is too many snowflakes about
