The Good Guys (2010)
7/10
Silly fun
6 August 2010
As a resident of Dallas, I get a real kick out of seeing my fair city as the backdrop for this show. Of course, a lot of the locations aren't really what they're portrayed as, but it's fun to see them anyway. Colin Hanks is great as the by-the-book geeky sort of half of this team, and Bradley Whitford plays the cheesy, '70's old-school, self-styled ladies' man half really well, too. His Dan Stark character makes you cringe--when you aren't laughing at him. The non-linear narrative is a refreshing change of pace for TV cop shows, although the gunfire sound to signal flashbacks is annoying.

If you're looking for really intelligent plotting, stinging dialogue, or subtlety in performances, look elsewhere. If you just want to have a good time watching a show that doesn't take itself seriously, tune in.
