Season 1 Review: A series that’s just flat-out fun, albeit flawed. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Deputy is a melange of Western and cop show cliches in a novel-enough package, thanks to creators Will Beall, who writes, and David Ayer, who directs the pilot. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Deputy may overstep the bounds of reality with how far the show lets Hollister push his new powerful position, but I admire its commitment. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Putting aside Deputy's peculiar politics and red-meat aesthetic, though, it has undeniable appeal. The intricately staged shootouts and car chases are gleefully frequent, the dialogue crackling. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A show with some muddled politics and thin characterizations. Dorff is at the center keeping it entertaining, and the ridiculousness in some of the plotting to start the series is almost admirable, but this is an inconsistent show in every way. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Surely there has been a show more reliant on cliché than “Deputy,” Fox’s new cop drama. But none springs to mind. ... In short, “Deputy’s” politics may come from a past decade, but its writing seems to come from another century. Read full review

LOVE The Deputy show! Finally something entertaining, refreshing and a better plot than many new shows. I’d rate it up there with the Chicago trio!

This is one of the worst shows I've ever seen, but somehow I keep watching. It delves into "so bad that it's good" territory right from the first episode and somewhat stays there.

It delves into "so bad that it's good" territory right from the first episode and somewhat stays there. The dialog is one terrible grandstanding speech to the next. Stephen Dorff overacts every possible scene and here is where I think the "it's so bad it's good" starts to play into things. I think just maybe they are trying to make a completely corny and over-the-top cowboy show like the ones from the 1950's and 60's. Something like Gunsmoke or Bonanza. The entire show just seems totally anachronistic. Every time I think it can't get any worse, there is another even cornier speech with lines like "That's what it means to be sheriff" or "That's not how we do things as long as I'm here". It's almost unbelievable. It couldn't be this bad organically, could it? They have to be TRYING to make it this way. It's just too intentional. Unfortunately, the cinematography is closer to a bad modern police show like the new Hawaii 5.0 or one of the unwatchable NCIS shows. So the corny 50's style writing doesn't really mesh with the way it's shot. IF you had someone shoot this TV show in more of a Tarantino style, you could probably keep the exact same predictable plot and corny dialog and it may even work. So.... it's a 4. I can't mark it lower because I think I may actually watch more of this crap. I eat at McDonald's every once in a while, too. Not everything can be a Michelin star meal and not every TV show can be Breaking Bad.… Expand

I was actually looking forward to this show, but after the first 3 episodes I can't stand the SJW indoctrination any longer. Why do you keep making the decision to shove your ideology down our throats, I just want a simple show to relax and unwind to after a long day of work.

The show was OK and I may watch again, but they lost me with the overt "plug" for support of Sanctuary Cities and protecting ILLEGALS and refusing to up-hold the LAW.

Typical show staged in LA, not very typical for Fox. This is the worst leftist agenda show on television. The Sheriff is against immigration laws, makes policy and procedure up as he goes along, and has a midget assistant that runs around with a gun shooting crap and spouting lame lines.

The previews looked like it might be good, but the liberals are using it for a teaching lesson. We watched the first few minutes of sanctuary city justification and those poor illegals. So we shut it off.
