Cagney & Lacey

1982–1988 · 7 seasons

A grounded, grown-up cop drama that earns its tension through character and conscience rather than chases.

Tagline: Two women cops working twice as hard for half the glory, twice the excitement!
Overview: Mary Beth Lacey and Chris Cagney are teamed up as NYPD police detectives. Their opposing personalities (one is tough and the other sensitive) mesh to make this one of the great crime-fighting duos of all time.
How it feels: Earnest, tense, melancholic and warm. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Crime, identity, family, sexuality
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
