Better than most people think

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This was one of many cartoon shows I've watched when I was a kid. It is a more obscure cartoon though, but I thought it was somewhat entertaining for me at the time.The show features the Central Organization of Police Specialists (C.O.P.S.), a special group of policemen with cyborg enhancements that helps give the police officers extra powers and strength.It's an exciting cartoon show seeing the officers go on their missions to fight crime in Empire City and trying to take down the crime bosses and their goons.I don't remember too much from the show, but it did create nice childhood memories - there are some fun adventures and plenty of good guy vs. bad guy action.Grade B+

Of all the shows I watched as a kid, "C.O.P.S." definitely falls in the bland category; simplistic morality and cookie-cutter cops and robbers (complete with clichéd dialogue - everyone's "copper" this and "citizen" that) and the animation's surprisingly lazy. It's ideal for small children.Speaking of which, this is one hell of a toy commercial. Every character comes with just the right physique and gear to make for a kickass action figure. And that opening sequence is one tantalizing vehicle after another. Man, I still love the Ironsides unit (louvers!) and I always took to Long Arm (grappling hooks are cool).It doesn't do much for me now, but that classic '80s consumerism is on full display here.6/10

COPS is one of the 80s classics that I did not catch when I was young. Heard about it here and there and the previews looked nice. When I finally heard that Richard Raynis, Fil Barlow and Duane Capizzi et al who were behind the development of the brilliant and amazing Extreme Ghostbusters series, were also involved in COPS, I went ahead and bought some tapes.This series is downright impressive, mature and highly polished. The characters are all very nice and interesting. All in all, an excellent production. Perhaps if it had a movie preceding it, it would have been as well known as the also good, although slightly over-rated, The Real Ghostbusters, also directed by Richard Raynis, which it compares favorably against. All of them are certainly the better ones of the 80s.Like XGB, COPS remains something obscure and rare, but rewards he who tracks and follows it, beyond imagination. Very impressive stuff from the same clique of geniuses. Too bad I did'nt catch this wonderful series during the 80s!

I remember watching cops when I was 6 years old, it was very interesting to watch and I always wanted their toys but my parents only bought me 1 doll.I kept going to my neighbor seeing the toys he had of COPS, he had the helicopter and all the heros and villans.I remember one episode where the bank building torn apart, I miss that show...
