Good Cop blends the cheerful silliness of Brooklyn Nine-Nine with the tidy storytelling of Breckman’s other crime comedy, Monk, and it elevates the familiar police-show formula with a strong ensemble cast.
The Good Cop is a solid, traditional detective sitcom for viewers seeking the solace of a simpler time, before cable and disruptive streaming services altered the landscape with weird shows like “Stranger Things.” And ironically, it’s brought to you by Netflix.

There’s nothing wrong in aspiring to be purely entertaining. Good Cop is quite good at that in Episode 1, but pretty much falls on its face in the second hour. Each story ends with a newspaper headline teasing the next one.
[Danza's] not an especially deep actor, and neither he nor the show seem inclined to do anything that’ll really rattle us and make us ask if it’s okay to like this guy and think of him as an essentially good-hearted eccentric who has many useful things to teach us if only we’d listen.
Thoroughly (maddeningly?) vanilla in so many devious ways that even the font for the logo and the manipulatively easy theme song and background music feel like a kind of manufactured nostalgia to sedate the masses.
A show with frustratingly little on its mind, The Good Cop quickly establishes its two leads as familiar personality types and then reiterates who they are, over and over, for ten episodes, with little modulation or development. Worse, for a show that sets up and solves a new mystery every episode, the show relies on the utter lack of intelligence of both its two leads and everyone around them.
The music makes the show worse than it is... All the cops shows are basically the same the thing, with different actors it's a good show there's no plot each episode has its own story and there are some good actors the main one it's a bit lacking but passable, but the background music.. Men The background music is so bad that some times I want to turn the show off.. The music makes the everything better an in this case makes it worse

SEASON 1
This show is like a less funny version of Monk, but even worse is the main character's almost misogynistic way of answering questions for his female counterpart - seriously, in the second and third episodes it is so over the top that it isn't even funny yet they'll probably milk this for the entire run of the season.
Some will call it quirky, some will say it is a less cerebral/serious cop show. The issue isn't so much with the crime storylines however. Somewhat lame humor, some downright mediocre acting, and less than good personal storylines for the characters is what keeps this from being all that good.
Tony Danza's character comes across as almost a caricature, Groban's character just seems unbelievably naive, Barbaro is just there to be eye candy and a foil, while Isiah Whitlock's character is probably the most likable playing a cop beyond caring with his retirement coming up.
We'll see if it matures any and if it gets a second season...
