What to Know

Critics Consensus

On Call is an undemanding patrol thanks to its half-hour format, but the shorter runtime is about the only new novelty it brings to the cop drama genre.

Margaret Lyons New York Times Its eight episodes are largely serialized and have the tense velocity that is the raison d’être for cop shows in the first place. Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Thelma Adams TheWrap These aren’t particularly bad cops, but they’re not as compelling as they need to be to break through in a flooded marketplace. Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety Instead of offering a compelling viewpoint, the series is stressful and often mechanical. Viewers are never let off the job, so there is limited motivation to clock in for the next episode. Jan 9, 2025 Full Review Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post On Call offers enough moral ambiguity to make its characters intriguing and complex. While it may not be groundbreaking, it presents a grim, gripping portrayal of the harsh realities of urban life and the officers sworn to protect it. Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media Prime Video’s first police procedural has a few intriguing elements, but is too shallow and inconsistent to be memorable. Rated: C- Jan 14, 2025 Full Review Brittany Frederick CBR Prime Video and Wolf Entertainment have outdone themselves with On Call, which is the perfect police drama for a modern audience. Rated: 9/10 Jan 13, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Rob C Not a bad show! It does a good job of showing policing with modern issues! Hopefully there will be a season 2. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Kevin C This cop show is a solid notch above other police procedurals. Bellisario is actually fantastic in the main role. Worth watching. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Eilish E Troian Bellisario brings gravitas to the lead role. The plot lines don’t match. This show is striving to be Southland 2, but it lacks the grim lethal reality of police life and that of criminals and victims. They should remove or diminish any back stories to the lead players. So far these tales are unconvincing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Libbey L I really enjoyed this show. Kept me engaged. I was left wanting more at the last episode. Hope it comes back for more seasons. Loved the characters and the acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Jonathan L horrible writing, over the top acting from actors without the substance of a tv show. Are they trying to be like the movie End of Watch? Watch that movie, this is like the Telmu version of it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review James J Good show. Would have liked more. Hour long format would've been nice or more episodes. 8 half hour episodes wasn't enough but I enjoyed it. Well done. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
