More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for APB Season 1 All Critics (20) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (13) APB is as generic as its title, failing to give us characters or stories that feel remotely realistic. Feb 7, 2017 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review… Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Critic A not nearly as bad (as you feared) cop procedural, plus toys that go boom. Feb 6, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic The crime fighting itself gets bogged down with rote action scenes shot mostly in the dark. Feb 6, 2017 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic 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. Feb 7, 2017 | Full Review… Tim Goodman Hollywood Reporter Top Critic Unfortunately, the gimmicks and the solid cast aren't enough to elevate the ho-hum storytelling. Feb 7, 2017 | Full Review… Meredith Blake Los Angeles Times Top Critic It's almost like someone remade a Paul Verhoeven movie but didn't understand the satire. Feb 6, 2017 | Rating: C- | Full Review… Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly Top Critic APB is a fun show, but it missed out being anything more than light escapism. Feb 8, 2017 | Full Review… Andrew Liptak The Verge 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. Feb 7, 2017 | Rating: 5.2/10 | Full Review… Jesse Schedeen IGN Movies 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. Feb 6, 2017 | Full Review… Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV APB never settles its own version of its existential dilemma: man or machine? It argues for both. But as this uninspiring drama proves, sometimes when you split the difference, you end up with nothing. Feb 6, 2017 | Rating: C | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald It's another deadly cop drama, yes, loaded down with the kind of fascination with computer screen and gadgetry that sinks most of the fare at rival CBS. But the first episode, at least, works well enough as entertainment. Feb 6, 2017 | Full Review… Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com My bleeding heart bias aside APB isn't a bad show, but it's not very good or interesting either. It's a perfectly safe, mediocre, hour of instantly forgettable television. Feb 5, 2017 | Rating: C | Full Review… Michelle Alexandria Eclipse Magazine View All Critic Reviews (20) Audience Reviews for APB: Season 1 Dec 01, 2019 This was a very good series, every episode was different, interesting and tense. I am very sad it didnt continue! Osvth A Jan 15, 2019 Fox should've not cancel this. How can people make Fox uncancel this show? Michael S Nov 09, 2017 high tech humour we love Genevieve L Jun 06, 2017 Surprised it made it a full season. Terrible is an understatement and I am a fan of Justin Kirk. Hard to see him in such a poor show.. Ed J Apr 30, 2017 It is a fantastic show Mark N Apr 24, 2017 From Len Wiseman, the creator of Underworld comes a new show that truly captures the crime-infested streets of Chicago: super fun, slick, polished, and socially relevant Gideon Reeves is a multi-billion dollar tech creator that has devoted himself to protecting the freedoms and security of America by building state-of-the-art machines from drones to cameras to vests etc., things change however, when his business partner is gunned down and from then on he reestablishes a police precinct with all of his inventions to rid the city of drug users, gang violence and every other crime, the most featured item is an APB app that responds immediately to any crime in progress, his partner is Ada who is a technical wizard lends a hand in the digital realm but she has a dark past that comes back, she did something astonishing that even made Gideon interested in recruiting her At first everyone isnt pleased about some rich guy coming in and showing off his new toys but Gideon assures them that this is a good way to slowly make Chicago a better place for everyone, he doesnt go without making a few friends as well as some enemies; his cop buddy is Murphy who is divorced and who has a daughter, the chief, Conrad is played by Ernie Hudson who knows the city front and back, two other deputies that have their own crime adventures, as well as Lauren Fitch to handle his shareholders, his enemies include an online user, Danny that feels civil rights are being violated and the mayor who wants to shut him down Gideon even comes across his father who conned a lot of people back in the day, Murphys ex is part of the task force that wants to shut Gideons operation down, and her old FBI partner returns that also has a connection to her past, its also a huge burden on Gideons part that his tech is both beneficial but also dangerous, being the best in the tech industry comes with a heavy responsibility especially when deciding on how to do the business the right way as you can tell its hard for everyone to be on board with an idea such as this without thinking about the ramifications it makes: should every person have arms in their hands for protection or does it give bad people more access to gun violence?, should the police be privatized, is the city a target now because of an inventors success?, is the police force better off without the advancements in protection? The show looks great, is fast-paced, completely socially and politically relevant in the world we live in today as far as law enforcement and crime. Even in a city like Chicago crime can spread anywhere and its citizens need the best to live in safety. What we can learn from this show is that you never underestimate the bad guys, feelings and emotions arent the only factors for interrogation, the people that let us down the most is what drives us, and the point of civil rights is to be hard, not easy. A fun show all the way and redefines the whole perspective of the police force. Enjoyed it so much ? Jon C Apr 24, 2017 I like this because I am interested in engineering and technology so this pushes a lot of my buttons, what it also does is pushes the buttons where people are always putting you down just because it suits them and you're not doing what they want you to do, fail! Life lesson. Bob H Apr 24, 2017 This has potential but it's far from where it could be. Bill C Apr 12, 2017 Outstanding series, great to see an alternative to the normal police procedural shows and one which showcases how technology can be harnessed by those who keep us! Well done! Greg W Apr 10, 2017 Natalie Martinez has the acting skills of Marilyn Monroe with none of Marilyn's other assets. She was horrible in Under the Dome and equally as awful here.
