Monday on TV: Fox's 'APB' is really dumb

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2017, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.

In the rather astonishingly stupid new series "APB" (8 p.m., Fox/Ch. 13), a tech billionaire — reacting to the murder of his friend — essentially buys a Chicago police precinct, doles out all sorts of technical gadgets and fights crime.

It's beyond ridiculous. And, given what's happening in the real world, the idea of a billionaire who thinks he can step in and solve all our problems is, well, problematic.
