Ben Travers IndieWire Good Cop/Bad Cop overcomes its meager production budget by leaning on lighthearted vibes. There’s solid physical comedy, clever quips, and endearing family bonding -- and Meester isn’t the only actor capable of delivering them. Rated: B- Feb 20, 2025 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal Ms. Meester is a deft comedian who elevates what would have been a surprisingly smart comedy anyway. She’s also playing something like a recognizable human, who happens to be funny. Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety While “Good Cop/Bad Cop” isn’t the most memorable show in the world, Meester and Cook’s chemistry and charm are vibrant enough to sustain the show across several seasons. Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Emma Stefansky The Daily Beast The show retains some sense of creativity in an environment that is otherwise full of tropes piled onto more tropes. That can be fun... but watching the episodes feels, after a little while, more passive than it should. Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Anthony Morris ScreenHub It’s a solid package that contains few surprises but a lot of engaging performances and some amusing family bickering Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 5, 2025 Full Review Arezou Amin Collider The world created in Good Cop/Bad Cop is a charming one, and that charm really shines through once the series gets going. Rated: 7/10 Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Andrei D Just dumb enough to be fun, especially the main cast Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review Melissa G It's not perfect, but its so clever and charming and funny, with such great characters and interesting storylines that it more than makes up for any shortcomings. The Pacific Northwest setting feels like a bit of an homage to Twin Peaks, made even more impressive knowing it was filmed completely in Australia with Aussie actors (I'm from the US west coast and I never would have known, the actors are doing damn fine US accents!) Surprisingly fun and unique watch, check it out! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Dan W Excellent show, very well done! This is a far cry from the typical crime procedural with a lighter, more comedic atmosphere rather than the typical gloomy crime procedural. The dialogue between Lou and Henry is really good as they go about their investigations. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Dave F I wish the CW had marketed this show better, but once I found it I finished watching it in less than a week, so maybe that was a blessing in disguise. This show is endearing and funny-at times sarcastically, at times low-brow, but the writing and acting is such that it doesn't get overdone. The way the siblings play off of each other is effective. The sister has maybe too many human flaws and I wish she weren't quite so vulnerable. The brother really grew on me, which I didn't see coming after watching just the first episode. If you don't expect a serious procedural, you might just find yourself hooked. We need a season two! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review Liz H Great show!! Please Keep renewing this show! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review Moms H First episode was grate and that's it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
