Plot

edit

Detective Angie Tribeca, a 10-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department's elite RHCU (Really Heinous Crimes Unit), is assigned a new partner, fellow detective Jason "Jay" Geils.[1] The format of each episode involves a different criminal case for the LAPD to solve. The show features nonstop one-liners, jokes, visual humor, and irony.

Development and production

edit

The series was announced by TBS in mid-2014 with a ten-episode order.[5] It was promoted as "...a hilarious spoof of police procedurals in the spirit of Police Squad!". A few gags presented in the preview reel were cited as similar to the TV cop show satire Sledge Hammer!.[6]

Originally intended to premiere in late 2015,[7][8] in November 2015 it was announced that the first season of ten episodes would run uninterrupted on the network and be released through video on demand starting on January 17, 2016.[9] All 10 episodes of season 1 premiered during a 25-hour TV marathon on January 17–18, 2016.[2]

A second season of an additional ten episodes premiered on June 6, 2016.[2][10][11][12] On July 6, 2016, TBS renewed the series for a third season, which premiered on April 10, 2017.[3] The fourth season, which premiered on December 29, 2018, added Bobby Cannavale to the cast.[13]
