"The Good Cop" has some of the look and feel of one of my favorite shows, "Monk." Where TGC quirky characters fail to meet Adrian Monk's quirkiness is in the heart. Adrian was brilliant with OCD and phobias, but he cared for people. Big Tony has charm and constantly tells his son "I love you, son!" and then lies to him and uses him. Tony Junior is a rabid rule follower who constantly furrows his brow and sighs; he has no friends.
Secondary characters are one-dimensional too. Burl hardly works, Cora is mad all the time, and Ryan acts stoned. These are not fun characters to root for.
I won't watch season two.
