Big Tony is a lovable, but not exactly honorable, former NYPD officer who never followed the rules. He lives with his son, TJ, a straight-laced NYPD detective who always follows the rules while solving Brooklyn's toughest cases. They may be an odd couple but they become unofficial partners with Tony Sr. offering his overly cautious son blunt, street-wise advice. Emmy nominee Tony Danza stars as the elder officer in his first starring role on a sitcom since the late 1990s, and Grammy nominated-singer Josh Groban portrays Tony Jr. in his first regular sitcom role.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite a pair of likable leads, The Good Cop's reliance on procedural cliches sucks out much of the fun -- though those looking for an easy watch may find comfort in its familiarity.

Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture 05/14/2019
The Good Cop sometimes feel like a defense of the kinds of police whose terroristic activities make people on the receiving end of their behavior feel like targets rather than citizens. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire 09/24/2018
C-
But [Josh Groban] doesn't add anything to a character who's conceived to be a blank slate, and "The Good Cop" doesn't help him out in the slightest. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times 09/24/2018
Mr. Groban works hard and hits his marks, and he's likable, but he doesn't have anything resembling the comic chops needed to put across the show's Borscht Belt-style humor, or anything like Mr. Shalhoub's ability to relay emotion through movement. Go to Full Review Tim Appelo AARP Movies for Grownups 10/03/2018
It's great just to have Danza back. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 09/27/2018
4/5
Mild violence, language in endearing throwback cop sitcom. Go to Full Review Brenden Gallagher The Daily Dot 09/24/2018
After 45 minutes, the case and dozens of jokes will have been cracked, and the viewer will be ready to go on the pleasantly predictable ride all over again. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mish A Nov 20 The banter between them is sooo cute and I’m still hoping for another season😭 See more Shaurya A Oct 22 The Good Cop is too busy deciding if it's a comedy, drama, or thriller to be good at any of them. The plotlines are frustratingly silly. You’ve got the best lieutenant, the street-smart ex-con, and a promising young detective—and yet they are constantly and illogically outsmarted by every random, inexperienced perp they meet. See more Samantha S 10/01/2024 The show is easy to take in, but frustrating at times. It ping pongs between the father’s and son’s morels and hunches on each case- constantly contradicting what each of the characters stood for in the previous episode See more Gail O 01/23/2024 Fun and quirky! Really wish there were more seasons! See more Scott W 07/22/2023 I was enjoying Danza until they went slapstick comedy with a 98lb girl beating up a 200lb ex cop. Nope. I'll look for something else to watch. See more Tom W @TexOracle 03/23/2023 Really liked the characters, actors, directors ... but the writing was really poor. Danza was good, but having him being centric to each case was really off-putting and unbelievable. If he was going to be be centric to all the crime stories that formed a basis of the plots, he should have been written to be on the force/team. It's like having Judith from Who's the Boss written into each criminal case of a side-bar cop show. Just cheesy writing. See more Read all reviews
