This serial drama is the daily reality of Sid Burnett, a Los Angeles police investigator. Over time, Sid finds himself in a new partnership with Nancy McKenna, a working mother with a complex past. Nancy seems to be a woman with an unrecognized lifestyle that hides a larger personal secret. Over time, the two women find themselves at a critical juncture when it comes to confronting the most dangerous criminals in Los Angeles, where they must cooperate more.
Feels hopelessly outdated, the kind of thing that could have premiered on a broadcast network at any time in the last 25 years (a few swear words aside).
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.
This particular show seems ill-suited to its format: Meant to live on an on-demand platform, this drama seems oddly unlikely to have been specifically demanded by anyone at all.
Without a reluctance on the part of Nancy to go cowboy with Syd at every turn, the show is just about two perfect super cops that have no faults. After a while, that gets really boring.
A loud, dumb mess of a cop drama, loaded up with corny punchlines and incoherent plotting. So if you don't have the ability to watch it... well, consider yourself lucky.
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.
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...
