What to Know

Critics Consensus

On Call is an undemanding patrol thanks to its half-hour format, but the shorter runtime is about the only new novelty it brings to the cop drama genre.

Eric Deggans NPR 06/07/2025
Perhaps the most creatively ambitious project Law & Order creator Dick Wolf's production company Wolf Entertainment has tackled in a while. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 01/23/2025
The show is trying to be sharp and immediate, using 30-minute episodes and body camera footage, but it ends up having little to say about the dynamic between the officers or wider policing issues. Go to Full Review Margaret Lyons New York Times 01/15/2025
Its eight episodes are largely serialized and have the tense velocity that is the raison d’être for cop shows in the first place. Go to Full Review Abhishek Srivastava The Times of India 01/31/2025
3.5/5
...the show juggles so many minor crime cases that the central narrative...gets sidelined. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba 01/24/2025
With ugly cinematography, bad writing, and generic acting, On Call comes off like a Prime Video cop show that graduated from the Netflix school of algorithm-driven slop. Go to Full Review Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post 01/17/2025
On Call offers enough moral ambiguity to make its characters intriguing and complex. While it may not be groundbreaking, it presents a grim, gripping portrayal of the harsh realities of urban life and the officers sworn to protect it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Brady H @RT59606222 6d This absolutely amazing TV show was a delight to watch. As a first responder myself, I found it to be a great show to watch. I wish it would be renewed for a second season already. I’ve watched it three times already. See more Arlene H @Neenee246 Jul 14 It’s worth watching. Did keep me on my toes. The amount of episodes was perfect before it dragged on. See more Randy M @ranmacc7777 Jun 30 My favorite show of last year. Loved EVERYTHING about it...the story lines...the characters...the phenomenal actors. When I read there wasn't going to be a second season, I was really upset. THIS show is what television could be...and SHOULD be. So disappointed that it was cancelled. See more Country Girl T @RT82706191 Apr 11 This show was obviously meant to show you real-life day-to-day interactions. I was a cop, and this is one of the most realistic fictional shows I have seen. The point is to show others the REAL things cops deal with, trying to manage life while on duty, and the real issues that cops see and face. Tough decisions we sometimes don't want to make, but we have to make. The situations portrayed were the same ones I dealt with on the road. People need to view this from the standpoint that it portrays real-life struggles of cops and the emotions that can build as the shift continues. If you want to know what real cops face, then watch the show. See more Samuel F. @Sgt_Random Feb 23 Loved every minute of this show. I hope Peacock picks it up. Why do companies always try to budget cut top viewed shows causing conflict and inevitably canceling the show. See more Vic C @Vic100 Feb 4 Thoroughly enjoyed it See more Read all reviews
