Synopsis

Top Coppers follows the adventures of cops John Mahogany and Mitch Rust, as they attempt to rid the fictional world of Justice City from its deranged criminal underworld. The universe and its characters are derived from the conventions of American and British cop shows of the Seventies and Eighties, from Starsky & Hutch to The Professionals, but is set in no specific time or country. With big, silly characters and hilarious stories, Top Coppers is filled with familiar tropes and references from the police and action genres, as well as drawing on relatable British situations, problems and relationships.

oisinmacgiollachuda I must say this is the funniest show I have seen in a while. The plot lines are so outrageously in-your-face silly that it just.....works. The characters develop so well over the course of the series and the plot lines are a real throwback to every cop show we've seen and loved/hated over the years. The special guest characters make each individual episode unique and keep it fresh. It may not be everyone's cup of tea and donut but it certainly has an appeal to a big audience who are crying out for something now and out-of-the-box. It looks like it has just been moved from BBC3 to BBC2 also which is a vote of confidence from the Beeb. Good show 8/10
peter-jf So this is a parody of 70s and 80s cop shows, I imagine the intent was to be rather like Leslie Nielsen's Police Squad , but it misses that by several miles, the gags are just not as good. I found it to be downright derivative of other, better comedy. The main interest is in remembering in which shows you first saw the plot lines and jokes. I think it was a mistake to mix tropes from both US and UK police series, the styles do not mesh well and it feels like a very jarring mash up of Starsky & Hutch, The Sweeney, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and Police Squad with elements from Castle, CSI, The Comic Strip Presents, and numerous other shows. The main characters are just annoying but there are some good performances from the guest stars.
Dr Gobbler This new BBC comedy from Cein McGillicuddy and Andy Kinnear shows great potential, featuring Steen Raskopoulos, award winning Stand up Comedian John Kearns, Donovan Blackwood and filled with Fun cameos from Simon Farnaby, Alan Dale and Rich Fulcher. Top Coppers has a warm, familiar feel and lampoons just about every Cop/Buddy show from Starsky & Hutch to the Professionals and the Sweeney, throw in a bit of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Murder in Successville and Police Squad and I think you can guess where we're heading. Silly, Funny, Abstract humour, you can relax and unwind to. Book yourself a ticket to Justice City and giggle yourself Silly!!!
Liam3011 I really do not understand what's so funny about this. It's just like every other piece of garbage made by BBC3, that's been branded as "comedy". You can see why the channel's being taken down. The last funny shows released by BBC3 were Bad Education and Bluestone 42; since then, they have been embarrassing. Let's start with the Americanised humour, shall we? This, in my opinion, plays too much like an American sitcom. The humour isn't that funny at all. In America, they'd probably find this funny because their humour differs from ours. But shows like this just do not work in the UK. They never have, and they never will. The good things about the humour in Bad Education and Bluestone 42, was that it was sarcastic and very British. This however, is not. The acting? Terrible. The main "characters" are about as fun as revising for an exam. If not, less so. They lack so much creativity, it's unreal.The background characters are honestly more convincing than the protagonists, and that's not a good thing at all. If I find the background characters more interesting, in anything, then it's just... not right. The main characters are given the spotlight for a reason, and sadly these ones do not shine.The show is so unfunny, you'd get more joy out of EastEnders.The best thing about this show is when it ends, honestly. Especially when Russell Howard's Good News follows, or something else interesting.
