Post Holiday Blues Streaming 25' - Good Cop/Bad Cop - Season One

Good Cop/Bad Cop is The CW/Roku/Stan co-production, whilst filmed in QLD, Australia.

The first eight episodes follow Lou (Leighton Meester) and Henry (Luke Cook), a sister and brother detective team in a small Pacific Northwest police force who must contend with colourful residents, a serious lack of resources, and their very complicated dynamic with each other and their police chief, Big Hank (Clancy Brown) – who happens to be their father.

Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester as Det. Lou Hickman, a 7-year veteran of the Eden Vale P.D. who was the sole Detective of her small town police force until she convinced her father, the Chief of Police, to hire some help. Due to her department's small budget, Lou leans on her sunny disposition to solve the varied crimes in town. She harbours feelings for Shane, played by Devon Terrell.

Det. Shane Carson, a member of the Sheriff's Department who frequently works with Lou when she works outside the Eden Vale city limits. He is separated from his wife and fancies Lou. He is able to help Lou and Henry's investigations due to his better budget.

Then there is Luke Cook as Det. Henry Hickman, Lou's younger brother and Big Hank's estranged son who left home after writing an editorial criticising his father. 

He returns to Eden Vale after being offered a promotion to Detective by his father–a promotion he was unable to secure while working on the Seattle Police Department due to his lack of interpersonal skills and terrible bedside manner. He is still in love with his ex-girlfriend Dr. Marci Laine who he left in the town to pursue his career in Seattle.

Clancy Brown as Big Hank Hickman, the Chief of Police in Eden Vale and father of Lou and Henry. He freely admits to redrawing the town borders to ensure that his town is considered low-crime, as well as routinely providing favours for his friends. Lastly, Blazey Best plays Nadia Drozdova, Big Hank's Russian girlfriend.

This is a very sweet series filmed locally which I do really hope gets a second season. Given the CW hasn't made announcements about how its October - December 2025  lineup will look.

Given this show has a famous face and former CW Gossip Girl legend, Leighton Meester, the fact it is filmed down under, here is hoping they can make a second season.

I know cash is strapped in the USA for network TV. Particularly The CW and FOX.

Good Cop/Bad Cop is one of the best things I have seen on Stan (or The CW for that matter) for a while. Stan needs more local content, actually more content in general.

This was a super easy watch in under around 7 hours! That's an entire day in the office, shit!
