Obviously, some will see the gender of the leads a momentous occasion worth trumpeting, and it is, but the show is packaged so nicely and the partners are so complementary that their sex becomes moot. Read full review

When it gives itself over to big, loud sequences, L.A.’s Finest comes close to recapturing the bombastic spirit, if not the scale, of Bay’s films (such are the constraints of the small screen). But after blowing the budget on making a good first impression, L.A.’s Finest quickly sinks into mediocrity, unable to offer the same kind of big-screen thrills in a weekly format, or find much of anything new to say about odd couples and pasts that won’t stay hidden.

Everyone can find another show exactly like this one on Fox or other broadcast networks, USA or other cable outlets, and even streaming services. They don’t need Spectrum for this kind of show, and this specific show doesn’t do much to make it feel needed at all. Read full review

Hollywood still churns out cut-and-paste action comedies, but now women get to take the lead. [17/24 May 2019, p.90]

Whatever L.A.'s Finest is, it isn't bad on an outlier level. It's as good as much of what counted as broadcast television dramas this past season. This is not in any way intended as a compliment, just my acknowledgement that as thoroughly mediocre as it is, L.A.'s Finest feels like the sort of show that, in a different era, easily could have attracted a healthy audience on broadcast.

L.A.’s Finest is a loud, dumb mess of a cop drama, loaded up with corny punchlines and incoherent plotting. Read full review

Amazing hope they do more than originally planned. This is a great show, and needs a long series, slot can be done with it.

I didn't like the series at first but kept watching because my husband enjoys it. It's really grown on me. The acting is well done and the plots are pretty good. You definitely need more than 1-2 episodes to give it a fair chance. It's not some Charlie's Angels reboot.

This is an awful attempt by spectrum to produce a series. The acting is aweful , the story line us a joke, the actor development was down by someone who has no clue on about a detective series or cops in general. I tortured myself through about 20 minutes and then shut it down. What a shameThis is an awful attempt by spectrum to produce a series.
