Is it worth starting?
This is 8 seasons deep — English comedy. Starting now means a backlog — worth knowing before you press play.
Don't watch this if…
- you'd rather go with a consensus. Only 62 people have rated it
- you're not starting a 8-season show this week
- Why
- 7.3/10 from 62 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
Story
Barney Miller is the kind of cop we'd all like to run into. Always sensible, he maintains order over a band of detectives who gamble, hit on anything in skirts, go to renaissance philosophy conventions for fun, and would really prefer to be writing. Nearly all of the action takes place in the squad room where citizens and criminals are brought in to complicate the mix.
