Part buddy cop show, part drama, Training Day is a fun ride, even though it is a departure from its source material. The power of Bill Paxton refuses to be denied. This is a series worth checking out.

Bruckheimer assembly-line sausage stuffed with plenty of hooey and violence--but the leads are plenty appealing.

A toothless gruel of police-procedural cliches and focus-grouped mediocrity...This show ain't got s--- on King Kong. [Feb 3/10 2017, p.101]

When it isn't irritatingly imitative, [it's] hopelessly stupid.

Perhaps the intervening episodes will make him more legitimately and compellingly nefarious or will reinforce that Kyle is an active participant in this story. Nothing in the three episodes I was provided makes me want to bother finding out.

Given the current political climate, regressive rubbish like this lands on screens with a gracelessly leaden bellyflop.

One of the more aggressively terrible debuts of the fall.
