Dick Wolf has three nights of programming on two different broadcast channels. On January 9th, he is giving streaming a try with his new beat cop procedural on Prime Video.
On Call is an adrenalized and visceral police drama that follows a rookie and veteran officer duo as they go on patrol in Long Beach, California. Incorporating a mixture of bodycam, dash-camera, and cellphone footage to create a cinema verité effect, the innovative series explores the morality of protecting and serving a community.
The series stars Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars) as Officer Traci Harmon, a seasoned twelve-year veteran and training officer with a strong moral compass that has defined her approach to policing, even if that puts her at odds with new law enforcement policies. Brandon Larracuente (The Good Doctor) stars as Alex Diaz, an ambitious rookie who grapples with holding onto his optimistic outlook as he realizes the challenges he’ll face in today’s climate.
I was drinking coffee when I started watching the trailer. But then I poured it down the sink because that teaser woke me up better than caffeine ever could. What an adrenaline rush!
I also can’t wait to see how much further Wolf takes things now that he unrestricted on streaming.
