First off, the two main characters aren't all that engaging so you really don't care about them. TJ looks like an alternate version of John Oliver with his too big 80s style glasses constantly falling down his nose. Tony Senior is one of those people that when you first meet him seems like a nice guy, but after 20 minutes you realize that you cannot trust anything that comes out of his mouth, and that in reality he is a leech in all he does. By mid way through the series you begin to really dislike him. This type of person in real life is has to keep moving socially because people tire of him easily.
Although this has been mentioned before, it is really difficult for anyone to take seriously that a corrupt cop, who certainly hasn't changed his ways, would be accepted for his 'lovable personality' by the cops who aren't corrupt. In real life, honest LEOs despise dishonest LEOs more than the criminals they chase.
I'm not sure what happened in the beginning, but it starts out with Cora being a parole office and potential love interest, and then ends up with her suddenly being a police detective? Two entirely different jobs with entirely different skill sets that makes no sense whatsoever. It's like they learned about the NYPD from a cartoon or something.
The plots themselves aren't even worth criticizing.
All in all, you watch this if you have 10 hours to fill, not because it is good TV.
