When Gideon Reeves' best friend is murdered during a botched robbery attempt and the killer remains at large, the billionaire engineer doesn't stop at demanding justice. Recognizing the unsolved case as a symptom of bigger issues plaguing the over-extended and under-funded Chicago Police Department, Gideon puts up millions of dollars of his own fortune to take over the 13th District and make it a private police force with the most advanced crime-fighting technology available. Gideon finds an ally in Officer Theresa Murphy, but not everyone is happy with the changes when the office makes the rapid transition into the 21st century.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

APB's reliance on high-tech gadgets at the expense of high-stakes drama makes it a cutting-edge police procedural not worth pursuing.

APB is as generic as its title, failing to give us characters or stories that feel remotely realistic. Go to Full Review Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter 02/07/2017
APB is just an empty, run-of-the-mill cop show that separates itself from the hundreds upon hundreds of previous TV cop shows by having an app that citizens of Chicago use, thus circumventing 911. That's not an advancement of the genre - it's just stupid. Go to Full Review Meredith Blake Los Angeles Times 02/07/2017
Unfortunately, the gimmicks and the solid cast aren't enough to elevate the ho-hum storytelling. Go to Full Review Andrew Liptak The Verge 02/08/2017
APB is a fun show, but it missed out being anything more than light escapism. Go to Full Review Jesse Schedeen IGN Movies 02/07/2017
5.2/10
The "good, dumb fun" approach doesn't really work for a series that's so steeped in real-world problems. Subject matter like this demands a more nuanced, thoughtful approach. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV 02/06/2017
Unless your show is Knight Rider, a TV series based on technology rarely works -- it needs to be built around human drama, not fancy gadgets. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
