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 do you think? Do you like the APB TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I was just looking to see when APB was to be back and to find it was cancelled. We’re disappointed. It was like star trek back in the day, innovative and displaying what can be done in the future for police departments yet believable.
This was a great show. Why did you cancel it? We really enjoyed it. Please bring it back.
I’m so sick of studios not giving these shows a chance. This was a smart and innovative show that was different from the standard show. I need to just not watch these new shows. It’s just a waste of time it seems. Grrr
Great show! Why do the shows I like always get Cancelled?
I loved APB, why cancel it. it was a good show. This is one that actually had a great storyline and was very catching. I loved this show. Why create a show and cancel it after 1 season. You people are crazy. Please give us a season 2, then review your numbers. I can’t believe networks. Just leave us hanging with these cliff hangers that never end.
I don’t think that show should have been canceled big wigs always trying t o control everything. Now CBS had a similar show coming out this fall it’s wrong all the networks are working with each other.
This show was great. But cancelled. Now CBS has a show word for word just different actors. What gives. Maybe it’s a different gender of the primary detective.
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!
