What to Watch - Good Cop / Bad Cop
Show: Good Cop | Bad Cop
Platform: Netflix 2026 (Originally aired on CW in early 2025)
Warning: This show has one season, and, sadly, was NOT renewed. Still worth a watch!
Staring: (the gorgeous) Leighton Meester as Detective Lou Hickman
This show is a quirky police procedural with a comedic twist that follows sibling detectives working in the small, eccentric town of Eden Vale. When a pharmacy robbery turns into a murder case, the local police chief (AND THEIR DAD) convinces estranged siblings Lou and Henry Hickman to team up despite their wildly different personalities and styles. As they juggle bizarre local crimes and their own romantic dramas, the series blends mystery with humor and heartfelt family moments.
My take: I loved this show, the first season ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I am quite sad it was cancelled.
Watch if you like these series: Monk, Fisk, or Dexter these movies: Game Night or The Heat
Book recs based on Good Cop Bad Cop: The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz or The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
