      Alan Sepinwall Uproxx Despite the presence of Imperioli and James McDaniel, and the unique setting (the series films on location in the Motor City), there just wasn't enough to distinguish the show from the 500 other primetime crime procedurals that I also don't watch. Jun 3, 2020 Full Review Erik Pedersen Hollywood Reporter Despite its faults, "1-8-7" has a chance to break out of the crime-story pack on the strength of its solid cast and characters. Jun 3, 2020 Full Review Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com There's a difference between a show that feels genuinely edgy and one that feels likes it's constantly reminding you just how edgy it's trying to be. Rated: 3/5 Aug 20, 2013 Full Review Anthony Ocasio Screen Rant This series works because it takes new elements mixed with old elements and develops them to their fullest potential. Jun 3, 2020 Full Review Brendan Bettinger Collider If you're a fan of police dramas - and maybe even if you aren't - I'd recommend checking this one out.

      Audience Member One of the best cop shows in years, Detroit 1-8-7 bridges some of modern drama's most well-worn tropes with interesting new ideas that really test the characters. The show's use of setting, characters, as well as multi-episode arcs, make it a must-watch for any fan of gritty cop dramas, or good drama in general.
