Late last night, Netflix released the complete first season of The Good Cop, starring classical singer-sometimes-actor Josh Groban and former housekeeper (from Who’s the Boss?, duh! LOL) Tony Danza. Danza plays Tony Sr. (Big Tony), a former NYPD officer who is lovable but never really followed the rules while on the job. Groban plays his son, Tony Jr. (TJ), who is also a cop, although he strives to be what his dad was not. He’s a super smart, straight-laced detective who makes a point of always following the rules. Dad annoys son when he starts poking his nose into TJ’s cases, and they become unofficial partners.
Tony Danza plays Tony Sr. (Big Tony), a lovable yet not exactly honorable, former NYPD officer who never followed the rules. He lives with his son, Tony Jr. (TJ), Josh Groban, a brilliant, straight-laced NYPD detective who makes a point of always following the rules while solving Brooklyn’s toughest cases. This “odd couple” become unofficial partners as Tony Sr. offers his overly-cautious son blunt, street-wise advice. Also joining the cast are Monica Barbaro (Chicago Justice), Isiah Whitlock Jr. (The Wire), Frank Whaley (Marvel’s Luke Cage), and Bill Kottkamp.
I haven’t heard much about this show, but the trailer looked pretty amusing. I love Josh Groban as a singer. Haven’t seen him in enough as an actor to figure out if I like him in that respect or not, but paired with Tony Danza, who is always fun to watch, should give him someone/something great to play off of. I can’t wait to sit and binge watch this one!
Check out the entire first season now on Netflix!
I have been a harsh critic of Netflix’s Marvel Cinematic Universe shows the last year. Though Defenders was a bit fun, almost nothing has been an end-to-end burner of a season since Daredevil Season 2. One of the worst of them all was season one of Iron Fist, so when they dropped season two a week ago, I was like “meh – this should suck severely.†But I ate my shoe on that one because Iron Fist Season 2 was one of the best MCU shows on Netflix yet!
It revolves around Danny Rand & Coleen Wing of course, but it pits them against two “big bad†frenemies rather than a singular Big Bad. And honestly, it plays much more as a duo show than a solo show for Danny. This is good, though. This is what will have me back for season three if they make it – Coleen Wing is the bomb!! The two villains are long-time Iron Fist enemy Davos and usual Daredevil nemesis, Typhoid Mary.
I won’t spoil too much, but I will promise you the action in the first two episodes pack enough golden glowing fist to make me forget how lame Jessica Jones Season two was. Or the fact I never even put on the second episode of Luke Cage’s second season, because who even cares how many bad guys in Harlem are named after types of snakes? But for cereal, go get on Netflix and binge you some Iron Fist. Season one is a bust. It’s a tone-deaf exposition on “white privilege as a superpower.†The second go is a lottttt better, even if it does get a little sleepy in the middle. But trust in Coleen Wing and enjoy the magnificent Kung Fu in the start and end of this sophomore season.
A night like this with little else on? Maybe try a binge of a show like Iron Fist!
