Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or not, you’re sure to enjoy Prime Video’s exciting trailer for new police procedurals On call.
On Phone conversation puts us in the action-packed heart of police work as the series follows a veteran and novice police duo as they respond to emergencies in Long Beach, California. On call isn’t just about detective detectives and murder mysteries, it’s actually an exciting and visceral look at the patrol side of police work through the use of handheld cameras, bodycam and dashcam footage to create a cinema verité effect.
In the pulse-pounding trailer (see below), Troian Bellisario (Pretty little liars) stars veteran cop Traci Harmon and Brandon Larracuente (The good doctor) stars as her partner-in-training Alex Diaz as they go on patrol together to chase down criminals and rescue civilians. We also catch a glimpse of Lori Loughlin (Full house) as lieutenant bishop and Chicago fire stars Monica Raymund in her guest role as Officer Maria Delgado. It’s certainly a busy day at the office!
What is On Call about?
On call is described as an ‘adrenal-driven and visceral police drama’, which aims to add some realism to the format with a ‘cinema verité effect’ by using a combination of handheld, bodycam and dashboard camera footage. The imaginative series also explores “the morality of protecting and serving a community.”
Bellisario stars as the “tough but protective veteran officer” Traci Harmon, who struggles to fit into the department while training the future generation of officers. Meanwhile, Larracuente plays Alex Diaz, “an ambitious rookie” who struggles to hold on to his optimistic views while facing difficult challenges in today’s society.
With an intriguing twist on the police drama genre, On call has the potential to be one of the best Prime Video shows, but we’ll just have to wait and see when it debuts on one of the top streaming services on January 9, 2025.
