PoC: Yes!!! Not only are the majority of the main characters not white, they also hold positions of power!

LGBTQIA+: YES AGAIN! And AGAIN, someone in an authority position!

Disability Presence: No

Basically: Detectives and employees of a NYC police precinct work to improve themselves as individuals while also working together on their interpersonal relationships and occasionally solving crimes.

Woo!: One of my favorite things about this show is how REFRESHING it is to be watching a primetime cable comedy and see Black men depicted as sensitive, smart, compassionate, and working in positions of authority! The Latinx characters are also given depth beyond their stereotypes and ALL the characters are developing and growing as people! The jokes are mostly tasteful, rarely offensive. There are some multi-episode story arcs but you can easily put on a random episode and get the gist of it, while probably laughing out loud multiple times.

Ugh: COP SYMPATHY. And the two fat characters are very blatantly depicted as repulsive dimwits and frequently made fun of. BUT, in season 3 they are given a little more credit and appreciation.

But is it funny?: Yes! Frequently! Silly, absurd, quick-witted and sharp-tongued humor.

How many seasons/episodes?: 4 seasons, 22 episodes each and season 5 starts in September 2017! All episodes currently available on Hulu.

Anything else?: “It’s fun to laugh AT cops!” -Nick
