The female cop is a horrible actress


Maybe the worst on the show. Her scenes are extremely grating.

She is awful. I wish they had let Dorian Missic have a bigger role. This police woman is a total bitch.

reply

She is a FBI agent (or whatever), she is not meant to be sweet and lovable. As trite as it is, she is the bad cop while Dorian is the good cop. I wish they would get rid of Alexa.

reply

She's not FBI; she's a local yokel who is using the Cody's to make a bigger name for herself.

reply

I like her. She played a cop on the shield as well.

Shes not mean5 to be likeable, very blunt to the point bad-cop. I think she does a great job, making me hate her.

reply

Never said the character is supposed to be likable. She's just mailing in the "bad cop" lines without adding any substance to her character.

I will say the one scene where she threatens to tell J's family he's been talking to the cops wasn't her fault. That was just a total fail on the writers' part.

[I am enjoying the show overall -- it's entertaining. Her scenes just bring down the show for me.]

reply

Exactly, in a show where the criminals are our 'heroes' naturally the cops will not be who we are meant to root for, especially in this situation bullying our young J.

Beginnings are always messy.

reply

She's using the completely wrong approach if she wants to use J. I bet he double crosses her somehow.

Blackmailing an adult into seducing a minor is no good. They'd all have a case against her if they turned her in.

reply

Yeah, I definitely hate her, and not even because of her meanness, but just because she really is a bad actress laying a cheesily fake "difficult cop" persona.

reply

It seems like instead of doing actual police work she just seems content on blackmailing the school teacher and getting J to grass up his family . For god sake, do your own job !!

She is terrible. Her character is not believable. I don't like any of these characters. Why am I still watching?

reply

I don't like the female cop either but I think Nicky's dad is the worst actor. Ugh.
