L.A.'s Finest: Pilot (2019)
Not Bad Boys, just Bad
With the high end female cast I had high expectations for this show. The dialogue is terrible with the storyline weak and predictable with zero originality. The writers could have created two strong female characters but they chose they easy way out by simply assigning the Martin Lawrence & Will Smith characters to female bodies. The banter between the two just doesn't work. Its been so long since Jessica Alba did a mainstream role that she has unfortunately forgotten how to act. The show portrays Union's character living in a beautiful high rise apt with stunning decor and city views. In LA? On a cops salary? Everything about these characters is unrealistic. Lawrence and Smith pulled it off with actual chemistry between the two. The writers were obviously not talented enough to create their own show but just chose to clone the Bad Boys franchise with female leads. From the loud sometimes confused police captain to their two male police colleagues its Bad! Rushed, confusing, poorly written.
