Netflix’s new comedy-drama The Good Cop will be released on Netflix tomorrow (Friday, September 21).

Over the course of the series, Tony Sr serves as a citizen consultant to his son TJ as they solve crimes together.
Where is The Good Cop on Netflix set?
Netflix’s official plot synopsis reads: “In The Good Cop, Tony Danza plays Big Tony, a lovable yet not exactly honourable, former NYPD officer who never followed the rules.
“He lives with his son, TJ, Josh Groban, a brilliant, straight-laced NYPD detective who makes a point of always following the rules while solving Brooklyn’s toughest cases.
“This “odd couple” become unofficial partners as Tony Sr. offers his overly-cautious son blunt, street-wise advice.”
The show is set in modern-day New York City with the central duo thing to solve murders.
Each episode takes place in a different neighbourhood in New York including Long Island.
Where is The Good Cop filmed?
The Good Cop was shot on location in New York City in a number of locations.
Half of the scenes were shot in a studio.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly about filming on location in New York, Groban said: “The fact that the show brings us into neighbourhoods and allows us to talk to locals in a way I wouldn’t be able to normally really has allowed me to get to know the city in a whole new way. We spend about half of our time on a sound stage.
“But the other half is on location. For anybody who loves New York, that is the greatest tourism you could ever have.”
He went on to say: “You get to know these little nooks and crannies in these neighborhoods that have such a history to them.
“People that have lived there have lived there for so many years and have so many stories to tell — the restaurant owners, the shopkeepers, the bartenders.
“Every time we’d have a break we’d pop into a place. You spend time with real New Yorkers every day and get to know their stories from 10, 20, 30, 50 years of being there.
“As somebody who loves the city very much, that was one of my favourite parts of shooting.”
While Danza added: “It’s just heaven. I’ve been to places in New York that I didn’t even know about and it’s wonderful.”
At one point Danza mistook extras for real construction workers during filming, such was the scale of the production.
During filming the crew took over a huge junction on the road, Danza revealed to Billboard.
