This drama series explores the life course of a former high-ranking New York police officer trying to battle a different reality. This woman crosses all real barriers in her neighborhood and becomes the first female chief of police in Los Angeles. It is a series of different challenges and paths that this woman faces in her new position.
After the pilot, I was prepared to be enthusiastic about CBS having landed an above-average version of a very CBS-y show... And after three? It's just another mediocre broadcast show that probably could have been a lot better.
It's no surprise that Falco presides over all of this with aplomb. She's instantly believable, instantly real. You'll root for her take-no-prisoners Tommy, be frustrated for her, question her decisions, and admire her decisiveness.
"Tommy" is an old sheep in new sheep's clothing, the latest twist on the cop show with a higher-ranking officer and a glass ceiling buster to separate it from other LA police dramas.
[The] top cop is so empathetic to, at times, defy belief, both in her work and in her personal life... But Falco's stern but hardly humorless performance provides reason to hope that this credibility gap gets bridged.
When you replace the straight, cis, white guy in any narrative, you completely change the narrative. There are plenty of reasons to feel excited about Tommy.

First-rate actress, compelling idea but neither can escape the clutches of a shopworn formula.
