Bad Cop, Bad Cop

The concept of a corupt and lazy police force, in bed with both the crims and the lawers provides plenty of opertunity for situational comedy but you have to have a dark sence of humor to appriciate this show. Unfortunately these situations where often too close to the real life corruption situations in Australia in the late eighties and early nineties.

Even now it seems that real life is stranger than fiction as top officers in Victoria continue to fall victum of the Police Integratory commision accused of leaking information that lead to the death of a witness, something you would expect from the lead caracters in this series.moreless

A pretty good cop show. If this is a show that you do not normally watch and you are sitting at home with nothing to do, you are going to wish you had it on tape. Having it "on tape" had become the generic term for recorded programs. Today you are more likely to have the show on Tivo or DVR than VHS, or god forbid Beta!! It is kind of like how a lot of people still call CD's "records" or "albums." Anyway, back to the show. This is the type of show that is really pretty good if you would just give it a chance. So on those cold, lonely, rainy days, pop in your tape or DVR or whatever if you were smart enough to tape it. If not, check to see if it is on as a re-run. After all, as they say, if you have never seen it, it is new to you. Not too bad of a cop show, give it a shot.moreless

To be honest, I would have preferred to spend my time elsewhere than finish watching this. However, I kept thinking that there is great potential behind this and I was half right. There was potential to say the least but this potential was poorly exploited leaving a show that is half decent. Nonetheless, you really have to see Bad Cop, Bad Cop to get what I'm talking about.
