About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a breezy, goofy suburban stakeout comedy with broad antics and a bit of mystery, especially if you like the vibe of Fletch Lives; Not for you if you need sharp, believable humor.
Pros: light family-friendly tone; odd-couple cop pairing; a few memorable gags | Cons: uneven laughs; silly, implausible behavior; thin, formula story
