TV show description:
A dramatic series, the Tommy TV show revolves around a former high-ranking NYPD officer who becomes the first female chief of police for Los Angeles.
A true-blue New Yorker, Abigail “Tommy” Thomas (Falco) uses unflinching honesty and hardball tactics to keep social, political, and national security issues from hindering effective law enforcement in the Southland.
Tommy steps into her new job surrounded by her predecessor’s staff. Chief of Staff Donn Cooper (Jones) is a savvy cop with good instincts and the ability to be discreet. A polished and confident press secretary, Blake Sullivan (Clemens) is eager to earn Tommy’s trust. Ken Rosey (Chernus) is an idealistic speechwriter and former attorney.
As part of her personal security team, Tommy also hires Abner Diaz (Caamaño), a fellow street-smart New York transplant.
Responsible for hiring Tommy, Mayor Buddy Gray (Sadoski) is a charismatic politician whose goals and ambitions don’t always align with Tommy’s. Buddy relies on the political instincts of his deputy mayor, Doug Dudik (Taylor), a slick operative with questionable morals who is wary of Tommy’s growing influence.
Now that Tommy is in Los Angeles, she has a second chance at a relationship with her adult daughter, Kate Jones (Philip). Kate still faults her mother for choosing career over family years ago.
Tough and sarcastic while remaining likable, Tommy has the conviction needed to succeed as the first woman to lead the LAPD in its fight to keep citizens safe and crime at bay in the City of Angels.
Episode #12 — Cause of Death
Tommy and her inner circle fight back against an LAPD and city government conspiracy to have her removed as police chief.
First aired: May 7, 2020.
What do you think? Do you like the Tommy TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Why????? Another good show gone! Strong, intelligent female lead, great cast and good stories. Bring it back please. It was a pleasure to watch and I so looked forward to the continuing story.
Please don’t cancel this show. Their are plenty of other shows that could be taken off. DON’T take this one..
We loved this show. Interesting characters, interesting stories, entertaining. Very sorry it was cancelled.
This is my favorite show. It’s great acting, exciting and interesting stories, fast moving and interesting. How could a show like this ever be cancelled while we continue to have to watch shows for idiots like the Kardashians. If the average intelligence of Americans has dropped (and it has), it’s because we have to watch stupid stuff on TV. Pleeeeeze, try to elevate our citizens. Keep Tommy and come up with some more like it.
I think it’s aweful…great show!! Praying another Network will pick the show up!!! PLEASEEEEEE!
Another great show cancelled! Why?
This was an excellent show; great story lines, great acting; one of the best shows on television. I can’t believe you cancelled it! Yet you keep so much other cheap on?? I’m very disappointed, and I am so done with CBS!
Please Renew! This show is Awesome!!
Tommy is a gritty show that is very entertaining. Please re-think cancelling it. It is one of the best TV shows on the air in a long time. PLEASE don’t cancel it.
Tommy is a great show. Great story lines.
Please renew for season 2
My favorite TV show. Cancelled? Someone must be insane.
Tommy is a fantastic cop show. It’s a big mistake to cancel. I really enjoyed it. So sad to see it go. Please reconsider.
Can’t believe your cancelling Tommy great show Look forward to Thursday night
I Love this show. It is one of the better shows on TV and I look forward to it every week. This show is refreshing and different from the same old thing. The cast is great especially Edie Falco!!
Tommy is a superb show. An excellent role model for girls. She’s strong, honest, fair and a hard worker. She doesn’t quit. I pray it isn’t cancelled. We need more shows like this one. The drama isn’t too dark. So many of the shows have turned so violent, cruel, and dark, that I quit watching them. When the bad guys always come out ahead, of the good guys, it’s depressing. Yes, it’s only a show. But most people now, need some optimism in their lives, instead of all the violence and darkness.
