Essa comédia parcialmente não roteirizada leva os espectadores para dentro da viatura enquanto policiais incompetentes entram em ação, atendendo ligações para o 911 sobre tudo, desde infrações de excesso de velocidade e prostituição até vigia em um antro de drogas. Em cada episódio, os espectadores captam um vislumbre "de mosca na parede" das opiniões frequentemente politicamente incorretas dos policiais, que vão desde seus sentimentos pessoais até críticas profissionais aos colegas.
About
Quick guide
A mockumentary that turns a Reno police department into a slap‑stick comedy crew.
Reno 911! is a mockumentary‑style sitcom that parodies real‑time police shows. The series follows a bumbling crew from the Reno Sheriff’s Department as they respond to a wide array of 911 calls, from traffic stops to drug raids. Episodes are shot in a fly‑on‑the‑wall style, allowing the cast to riff off one another while the camera captures their chaotic antics. The humor is heavily political and often relies on profanity and off‑beat jokes, making the deputies’ incompetence the central comedic engine. Each 21‑minute episode blends improvised dialogue with scripted beats, creating a sharp, irreverent take on procedural tropes.
