On Patrol: Live (2022)
What happened?
Interesting concept spoiled by over-sanitizing police work. It is good to see suspects being treated with respect by officers but too often leads to feel-good episodes - kitten rescue for 1/2 hour, really? Too much time spent following endless vehicle chases. Surely with 'more than 50 cameras' there must be something more interesting. My biggest peeve is when something interesting is happening we are left with no follow-up. I understand privacy concerns but a lack of any resolution or even update is very annoying (woman's body found on lake shore, Shooting at high school football game etc.)
And surely "OP Nation" would like to know how previous week episodes were resolved. Particularly annoying is how virtually every show ends with what sounds like an interesting call coming in and we are left with an officer responding... with 30 seconds left.
11/26 edit. Annoying syrupy cops, still no promised follow-up on interesting events and way too many 'we'll be right back after commercial break' promises from Dan that never happen. Still running out of time just as probably the most interesting event (out of three hours) is about to unfold. One star away from giving up completely on this show.
