Topic: On Call

On Call follows a pair of police officers on patrol in Long Beach, CA. Each episode will track the duo as they respond to a new radio call, arriving on the scene to resolve an incident.

First two episodes do not impress. Anyone watched the whole thing yet and knows if this is getting better?

▼Spoiler

In episode 1 they chase down a car which crashes. After the crash a lot of stuff happens on the scene, but then they just take another call while everything is still processed?
Same thing happens in Episode 2 in the homeless camp, they just leave and let it be handled by someone else?

Also the Rookie is kinda all over the place. At some times he acts and talks like a seasoned cop and in other scenes like he didn't learn anything.

Shows that deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Company You Keep | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

Re: On Call

Your spoiler fits my first impression from watching the trailer. I prefer to get my cop/ crime fix from https://next-episode.net/on-patrol-live - shows some of the action and some of the absurdity of the job. big_smile

I can only watch reality-tv in small doses, maybe I check out one or two episodes smile

Tried out one more episode, this show is definitely not for me. I'd rather watch the seventh season of https://next-episode.net/the-rookie (which imho won't be good either, but still better than this probably smile ).
