Good Cop / Bad Cop

Perhaps this is pointless, but I just watched the show Good Cop / Bad Cop on Netflix and I just need to sing its praises. Unfortunately it has already been cancelled. Still, I absolutely loved this show. Stars Leighton Meester as a police detective in small town Washington (state), with Clancy Brown as her police chief father. The series title kind of seems to refer to her and her estranged brother who her father brings on as the town's second detective. But there is really no "bad cop". Meester is the main reason to watch this. She's sweet and funny and just darn lovable. Brown is, of course, as good as ever. The brother, played by Luke Cook, is fine. His character is eccentric and perhaps on the spectrum (thought that is never stated). Their sibling interactions are generally quite fun. Another nice thing is that the "crime of the week" isn't always a murder. Sometimes it is, but in a least a few episodes it is not. The whole show is generally very "light"; well except for the final episode! The small-town vibe and whimsical humor makes me compare it to Resident Alien. The supporting cast (beyond the main three) is not as strong as in RA, but they're fine. The show originally aired last year on The CW. Who knew they even had new shows still! Obviously it did not find it's audience. Quite the shame. I haven't found a recent show this fun since RA, I think. Anyways, maybe give it a shot.
