The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is one of the largest police forces in the world, but when the elected sheriff dies, an arcane rule in the county charter, forged back in the Wild West, suddenly thrusts the most unlikely man into the job. Bill Hollister is a fifth-generation lawman who is only interested in justice. The bad guys don't stand a chance but neither do the politicos in the Hall of Justice. The dangers associated with the job often lead the police to LA County General Hospital, where Bill butts heads with the hospital's chief trauma surgeon -- who is also his wife. Given a job he never wanted, in an unfamiliar sea of politics, Bill quickly learns that doing what is expected and doing what is right are two different things, and that his innate, dogged pursuit of justice is the only skill the job truly requires.

Critics Consensus

While those looking for a stylish new procedural with a few unexpected nuances will find much to like, Deputy sticks too closely to its genre guns to break any new ground.

Unfortunately, all three entries are as predictable as they are fine with being predictable. "Deputy" doesn't give off so much as a whiff that it wants to be more than a by-the-book, case-of-the-week cop drama.

It's silly, occasionally action-packed, rarely makes any sense at all and it's a little bit less reactionary than I feared. I probably won't watch any more, but then again there are around a dozen Air Bud movies I haven't seen either.

Dorff is at the center keeping it entertaining, and the ridiculousness of some of the plotting to start the series is almost admirable, but this is an inconsistent show in every way.

Western-style police show has violence, drugs, some sex.

4/5

Deputy is off to a good start. It has its finger on the pulse of the current political climate, but never leans so far left or right that it will push away those with more ardent opinions.

Dorff's the reason I watched the pilot. Van Holt is the reason I'll watch a second episode.

I just watched Deputy and really enjoyed it. Was very disappointed that they didn’t continue with another season. Would love to see how Cade and his wife made out with custody of the two children. They should really bring the show back. I know a lot of people that would love watching it.

I really enjoyed this show. Some predictability but also some really good back stories. I'm really disappointed that it wasn't picked up for a second season.

Faktiskt väldigt fräsch serie som håller för tiden. Många säger att det är för pc med gay personer och vänster politik. Kanske de ska se sig lite omkring sig för det är den värld vi lever i acceptera lr byt kanal sluta och gnälla så jävligt och kastat så mycket spya omkring sig. Har slutat att titta på imdb för det är så mycket toxiska person där. Tycker denna serie är KANON

My husband and I both enjoyed this show. It was realistic most of the time and we found it entertaining and gripping at the same time. We both enjoyed the characters on the show. We support law enforcement and would like to see this show back on the air!!!

Was one of many serieses that I watch that was actually worth watching. The story is brilliant the actors Truely took on the characters. First in a long time could not wait for the next episode, after every episode it left you with a feeling of still believe in good honest people. Story reflect true humanity made you feel there was still good in this crazy world. Seriously can't believe that there will be no future seasons, what a Pitty. 😥 Stop making Marvel shit stories, rather continue with series that can actually mean something worthy to our youth to do good and be honest to who you want to be as a person to make a difference irrespective of where you might find yourself not every one is a super hero but just human with integrity and love for what they do and even if it's a small ripple in a pond it makes an impact in someone's life.
