'Good Cop/Bad Cop' Is Better Than It Should Be
Briefly

'Good Cop/Bad Cop' is an hour-long police procedural featuring a brother/sister detective duo working for their father in a small Washington town. Although the title seems generic and uninspired, the show demonstrates a level of self-awareness that makes its flaws more tolerable. Leighton Meester shines as the lead, adding depth to an otherwise familiar premise. While it lacks the satire that might be expected from such a title, the execution allows it to stand out in a crowded genre.
Good Cop/Bad Cop, despite its brainless title, proves to be self-aware enough to make its flaws forgivable and its strengths unmistakable.
The police procedural about a brother/sister detective duo working for their dad/chief in a small Washington town feels like an old joke turned into reality.
