Tommy is a drama television series that premiered in February 2020 on CBS. The show stars Edie Falco, known for her role in The Sopranos, as the titular character, Abigail "Tommy" Thomas, the first female police chief in the history of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). The show also features Michael Chernus as Ken Rosey, Tommy's chief of staff and Adelaide Clemens as Blake Sullivan, a young and ambitious detective.

The show centers around Tommy's life as she navigates her new role as police chief while also dealing with her personal life, which includes her strained relationship with her adult daughter, Kate (played by Olivia Lucy Phillip). Tommy's appointment as police chief comes after the previous chief is forced to resign due to a scandal, and she is tasked with cleaning up the department and restoring public trust.

Throughout the series, Tommy faces various challenges as she tries to reform the LAPD and tackle issues such as racial tension between the police and the community, police brutality, and corruption within the department. In addition to dealing with these issues, Tommy also has to contend with political pressure from the city's mayor, who appointed her to the position and expects her to toe the party line.

As Tommy tries to balance her personal and professional life, she relies on her chief of staff, Rosey, who is a loyal and supportive ally. Tommy and Rosey's dynamic is one of the show's strengths, as their close working relationship allows for moments of humor and camaraderie amidst the seriousness of their work.

Despite the serious subject matter, Tommy does not shy away from lighter moments and humor. The show's writers strike a good balance between the heavier themes and the more lighthearted moments, creating a series that is engaging and enjoyable to watch.

In addition to the strong performances from Falco, Chernus, and Clemens, the show's supporting cast is talented and diverse. The show features a range of characters, including Tommy's fellow police officers, members of the city council, and community activists. These characters provide a rich and nuanced portrayal of life in Los Angeles, and their relationships with Tommy and each other add depth and complexity to the show's narrative.

Overall, Tommy offers viewers an engaging and thought-provoking look at the inner workings of a police department and the challenges faced by those who are tasked with upholding the law. With its strong performances, well-written characters, and timely themes, Tommy is a must-watch for fans of crime dramas and political thrillers alike.

Tommy is a series that ran for 1 seasons (12 episodes) between February 6, 2020 and on CBS
