Caught this show on Netflix and decided to give it a go, and I am currently half way through the first series.
I was interested to see it was done by the creator of the American show Monk, which is one of my favourite yank TV shows.
But I don't agree about The Good Cop being a better show than Monk, I prefer that because its got a better central character. Monk is carried by him he is the show, such that I can't recall any of the other characters.
The Good Cop frankly relies on an assemble cast to support him, they are essential ingredients to the shows appeal.
The Good Cop himself unlike Monk is not simply a quirky idiosyncratic individual, he is intensely irritating and fundamentally anal to the nth degree. He has absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever, such that how could anyone bare to even spend any time in his company?
The basic detective 'Team' is minuscule, Lieutenant Tony Caruso Junior, Sergeant Burl Loomis, and Ryan. How the heck would Ryan get a job there, and what could his qualifications possibly be?
Cora Vasquez she takes one exam, and hey presto she's a detective, only in America.
Overall its a good show and should definitely get another series, go watch it and make up your own mind about it.
