Good Cop is a British police procedural television series, written and created by Stephen Butchard, that first broadcast on BBC One on 30 August 2012. The plot centres on an ordinary police constable, John Paul Rocksavage (Warren Brown), whose life changes forever when his best friend and colleague, Andy Stockwell (Tom Hopper), is attacked and killed in a savage ambush.A single series of four episodes was broadcast weekly at 9:00pm on Thursdays from 30 August 2012. Following the shooting of two police officers in Tameside, Greater Manchester, on 18 September 2012, the BBC postponed the final episode, originally scheduled for Thursday 20 September at 9:00pm. The BBC announced on 28 September that the final episode would air on Saturday 13 October 2012, at a later timeslot of 10:30pm. Consequently, viewing figures for the final episode were much lower than the rest of the series.

The complete series was released on DVD on 15 October 2012, three weeks later than the expected date of 24 September 2012. The series was also released on Region 4 DVD in Australia on 5 June 2013. The BBC stated on 4 February 2013 that Good Cop would not return for a second series although no reason for the cancellation was given.
