‘APB’: High-Tech Cops
Unless your show is Knight Rider, a TV series based on technology rarely works — it needs to be built around human drama, not fancy gadgets. It stars Justin Kirk (Weeds) as Gideon Reeves, a “maverick billionaire” who funnels lots of cash into reequipping a Chicago police precinct with cutting-edge tech. Reeves bestows on Chicago a new APB app that citizens can download to send the police force its own “all-points bulletins” about crimes being committed, to quicken response time.
