TV show description:
A high-tech police drama series, APB is inspired by a New York Times Magazine article by David Amsden.
The Chicago Police Department is spiraling out of control thanks to high crime, officer-involved shootings, cover-ups, corruption, and under-funding. Billionaire engineer Gideon Reeves (Justin Kirk) wants to change all that. After his best friend is murdered in a botched robbery attempt, the killer remains at large and Reeves demands justice.
Putting up millions of dollars of his own money, he makes an unprecedented deal to take charge of the troubled 13th District. He wants to reboot it as a technically innovative police force. With Gideon himself having created the department’s cutting-edge technology, this eccentric yet brilliant outsider challenges the city’s police force to rethink everything about the way they fight crime.
But the near-overnight transition to becoming the city’s most advanced police district isn’t easy. Gideon knows that, if he’s going to change anything, he needs help. He finds this help in Detective Theresa Murphy (Natalie Martinez). She’s an ambitious, street-smart cop who’s willing to give Reeves’ technological changes a chance.
Skeptical Captain Ned Conrad (Ernie Hudson), Officer Nicholas Brandt (Taylor Handley), and Officer Tasha Goss (Tamberla Perry) are going to be a bit harder to convince.
With the help of Reeves’ gifted tech officer, Ada Hamilton (Caitlin Stasey), Reeves and Murphy embark on a mission to turn the 13th District into a dedicated crime-fighting force of the 21st century.
Episode #12 — Ricochet
When Gideon is blamed for recent terrorist attacks, he and Captain Conrad work fast to track down the real culprit. But Gideon finds himself in a predicament when Danny continues to use his technological skills to disrupt the city, leaving Murphy, Ada and the rest of the squad struggling to find a way to stop him. Discover who makes it out alive.
First aired: April 24, 2017.

What a great show! I DVR’d the show. Was a good concept. Very disappointed that it was canceled. TV shows that suck are renewed but shows that are good get canceled.
Should have been renewed. One of my favorite shows
What a great series APB was! I watched them all. So now I learn that, that’s it, APB is cancelled. I suspect that despite its wide popularity and terrific ratings, APB was cancelled because the Chicago Machine saw the series as damning evidence to them in the court of public opinion and therefore, sacrificed it on their alter of political correctness. Indeed what a shame and cowardly.
This was a great show. Very different from anything I have seen in a while. My fiance and I love all the tech involved in the episodes. I wish they wouldnt have cancelled the series.
This was a great show that should have been renewed. Interesting concept.
My husband & I watched this show every week. We always had to dvr it because of the time but we absolutely loved the high tech and fresh story lines! Bring it back PLEASE!
CAN’T BELIEVE THIS SHOW (APB) WAS CANCELLED I LOVED IT I DON’T WATCH A LOT OF TV BUT THIS SHOW KEPT ME WANTING MORE AND THAT’S HARD TO COME ACROSS SOMEBODY ELSE NEEDS TO PICK THIS SHOW UP PLEASE PLEASE AND THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
I can’t believe this show was cancelled – best show on tv in a long time!
i agree, all good shows get cancelled like apb every year my mind is boggled at who is in charge of tv
I didn’t know it was canceled & was looking to see when the 2nd season would start. It is such a shame that this was canceled. Hope Netflix picks it up. It was a good show.
I really really liked this show. Can’t believe it has been cancelled. Good shows always get the boot. TV is crap anymore!!
I really liked this show and it should be brought back because it wasn’t given a chance. A lot of people today DVR shows and watch them at their convenience. If shows are being cancelled because of real time watchers being polled then someone needs to come up with a different system of determining what shows stay and what shows go.
This show should be able to have a second chance. A lot of people liked it. It had drama and alot of Technology that can be used in law enforcement.
I really liked the show. Was looking forward to seeing a second season. What a shame it wasn’t given a chance.
Fox failed again. They need new owners every time they put on a good show they take it off. Another station should pick up the show.
