Overview
Ex-con photographer RJ Decker becomes a PI in South Florida, solving strange cases with help from his journalist ex, her cop wife, and an enigmatic woman from his past who may help or destroy him.
What critics are saying
"R.J. Decker" debuted on ABC with solid viewership success, marking the network's most-viewed 10 p.m. drama premiere in five years. The series logged impressive lead-in retention and steady audience growth over its early run, establishing itself as a hit addition to ABC's drama lineup.
Critically, the South Florida-set series is recognized as an entertaining, feel-good mystery dramedy. Lead Scott Speedman's performance as an ex-con photographer turned private detective has drawn favorable comparisons to classic TV sleuths like Jim Rockford. While relying on an easily recognizable procedural formula, critics note its offbeat local flavor and crowd-pleasing tone make it an easy, engaging watch.
“A new feel-good mystery dramedy making its debut on ABC”
“Scott Speedman as the titular detective reminiscent of Jim Rockford”
“Its series premiere logged the best lead-in retention to date, 73%”
