A new addition to Netflix UK could be the perfect watch for fans of cozy dramas like Virgin River.
The series Good Cop/Bad Cop, starring Leighton Meester, blends comedy and crime in a charming small-town setting. All eight episodes are now available to stream on the platform.
Originally broadcast on The CW, the show sadly lasted only one season, leaving fans disappointed when it was cancelled. However, its streaming debut has sparked renewed interest.
Meester stars as Lou Hickman, a detective in the quiet town of Eden Vale. After working alone for years, she convinces her father — the local police chief — to expand the department.
Her life becomes more complicated when her estranged brother Henry joins the force and she starts developing feelings for fellow detective Shane Carson.
The show’s relaxed tone and quirky characters have earned positive reactions from viewers, many of whom say it’s a refreshing alternative to darker crime dramas.
