The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is one of the largest police forces in the world, but when the elected sheriff dies, an arcane rule in the county charter, forged back in the Wild West, suddenly thrusts the most unlikely man into the job. Bill Hollister is a fifth-generation lawman who is only interested in justice. The bad guys don't stand a chance but neither do the politicos in the Hall of Justice. The dangers associated with the job often lead the police to LA County General Hospital, where Bill butts heads with the hospital's chief trauma surgeon -- who is also his wife. Given a job he never wanted, in an unfamiliar sea of politics, Bill quickly learns that doing what is expected and doing what is right are two different things, and that his innate, dogged pursuit of justice is the only skill the job truly requires.

Critics Consensus

While those looking for a stylish new procedural with a few unexpected nuances will find much to like, Deputy sticks too closely to its genre guns to break any new ground.

Ben Travers IndieWire Unfortunately, all three entries are as predictable as they are fine with being predictable. "Deputy" doesn't give off so much as a whiff that it wants to be more than a by-the-book, case-of-the-week cop drama. Rated: C+ Jan 3, 2020 Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter It's silly, occasionally action-packed, rarely makes any sense at all and it's a little bit less reactionary than I feared. I probably won't watch any more, but then again there are around a dozen Air Bud movies I haven't seen either. Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Dorff is at the center keeping it entertaining, and the ridiculousness of some of the plotting to start the series is almost admirable, but this is an inconsistent show in every way. Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Western-style police show has violence, drugs, some sex. Rated: 3/5 Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic Deputy is off to a good start. It has its finger on the pulse of the current political climate, but never leans so far left or right that it will push away those with more ardent opinions. Rated: 4/5 Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Dorff's the reason I watched the pilot. Van Holt is the reason I'll watch a second episode. Jan 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Dena B We love this show. Totally recommend watching this series. Please bring it back we love it. Great job y'all. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/29/23 Full Review nancy S Started to watch Deputy . Sorry to hear that it was cancelled after 1 season. Really enjoyed watching it. The Bigwigs at Fox should reconsider their decision to cancel. At least it's on Tubi for now. Maybe they should have advertised it more when it was on tv. please make more episodes. As for the critics reviews, those are just their opinions not mine. I know what I like to watch and never read critic reviews or pay attention to them Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Lilly M I really enjoyed this show. Some predictability but also some really good back stories. I'm really disappointed that it wasn't picked up for a second season. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review David S I know it's an ideal thought, but I wish every elected official and politician were as honest and dedicated, black and white and every color in-between, the writers created an Ideal we'd all like to have. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Trina H This is a ridiculous show. It makes no sense what's so ever. The lead character always has to save the day. Making this show very boring. What a disappointment 😔. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/02/23 Full Review E W I Love this show and All it's characters… Love!! I will keep writing reviews until they make a season 2 I know a something about tv and a whole like about good entertainment… it took me a minute to find another show to stream and now I find out that Deputy was cancelled after one season… why would FOX even air it because they can't handle the real content!! Whoever wrote, produced, and casted the roles … You have touched this heart of mine! Please, please, please do second 2 EW Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
