Anyone gotten a chance to see this show yet? Its on TLC on Thursdays at 6pm. They’ve only aired 2 episodes so far and from what I’ve seen of the 2 it looks to be a promising series.
It follows the lives (on and off duty though mostly on duty) of 4 female Broward County Deputies (3 detectives, 1 handling sex crimes and 2 dealing with drugs and 1 Deputy working the streets).
Some might view it as “just another cop show” or “a copy of ‘Cops’” but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It definitely puts a different spin on the typical “cop show” and for the most part (though its early in the season) doesn’t seem to be scripted (too much)
I’ve been meaning to TiVo it, but the more I hear them play the commercial for it over and over again on the Military Channel, the less I want to see it. The theme music is grating on my ears and it seems like you just have 4 female cops trying to prove that they’re just as tough as the guys. Plus the one’s comment about there always being a good time to use a Taser put me off. Are you just looking for people to tase? Image is everything, and true or not, statements like that just don’t sound good.
I saw the previews and it looked decent but I hadn’t realized it started yet. I will set my DVR to record the two episodes I missed. Anyone know what night/time the new episodes air?
But so far not so bad. The only thing that made me cringe was Episode Two when they are going into the drug house and BOTH COPS have their guns sideways “gangsta style.” WTF is that?
“Female Forces” is another show about the same topic. It was filmed in Naperville, IL and was not well received by the female cops I know. Absolutely painful to watch
the previews made me want to hurl… it looked completely retarded. with lines like “theres always a good time to use a taser” it just makes me wonder how stupid the rest of the show is.
I was gonna mention in my opening post how hot I thought Det. Penoyer was, but I didn’t want to be the first and get flamed
I definitely have a crush on her. Shes single too
As for those that are saying the show looked stupid or retarded from the previews with the comments they make (like about tasing people) I think you need to give it a chance. Its just a preview. You can’t really take one comment someone made on a preview and judge the entire show on that. I dont recall where in the show she says the taser comment or what the circumstances were, but how do you know youre not taking it completely out of context? Without hearing the whole conversation that lead to that comment you cant judge. They seem to joke around on the show a lot, so who knows what she meant by it?
GLP - you’re right about the comments on the show. If people anaylzed what I said daily out of context I’d be in trouble myself. Context is everything, and people under stress often deal with it by saying off-the-wall things.
I’m going to try an catch an episode and give it a chance.
If she’s like many of the fine female officers that I have the opportunity to work with she probably prefers the company of girls that wear mens underwear.
