What to Know

Critics Consensus

More buddy-cop comedy than crime drama, The Good Guys' wacky sense of humor may not appeal to everyone, but it's just silly and fun enough to be entertaining.

What distinguishes The Good Guys is that it's essentially an action comedy, which lustily embraces those stereotypes, sending them up while also carrying a warm affection for them. Go to Full Review Emily St. James AV Club 06/04/2020

If you're looking for a show that only aims to give you a good time and a few laughs, you could honestly do a whole lot worse than The Good Guys. Go to Full Review Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune 05/19/2010
An enjoyably silly endeavor. Go to Full Review Brendan Bettinger Collider 06/04/2020
With its head in the clouds and its heart in the eighties, Guys is well-suited to the breezy nature of summer entertainment, and a great companion to Nix's Miami spy show Burn Notice. Go to Full Review Josh Bell Las Vegas Weekly 06/04/2020
2.5/5
The concept runs out of juice from trying so hard over the course of the first episode, and what's left is just another time-wasting crime procedural. Go to Full Review Will Wade Common Sense Media 06/04/2020
3/5
The witty scripts make it clear the series doesn't take itself too seriously, and Hanks and Whitford breathe new life into this standard formula. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
