Reply to comment by SnoopysAdviser in Thoughts on the new series Animal Control? Sounds like half of us are really enjoying it and the other half of viewers are not. Can’t think of any recent shows with this polarizing of opinions of it by ChessQueenCity

I didn’t dislike the new Nightcourt like I thought I would. Nothing will ever live up to the depth the original had. I feel like if they just did what Law and Order did with it’s reboots and title it differently like, Nightcourt LA or something it’d probably be a lot more palatable.

I like that idea of a different court in a different place. Maybe Dan retired to Vegas or something.

I can't get behind the lead or the bailiff on that show. They both are terrible actors, but I like the rest of the cast. I keep seeing so much praise for it and I'm scratching my head wondering if people are really watching it for what it is now, rather than what it could be.

With Animal Control, I had no issues with any of the actors, and I even already like them all after 1 episode. I like the boss from Mr Mayor, I think she was better in this show than in that last one with Ted Danson (she had a few great lines in that). I already like the rivalry between precincts, and I like the setup that every episode will have an interesting animal encounter.
