Caitlin "Cat" Sullivan is an NYPD detective working in Brooklyn. After her driving privileges are suspended, she relies on Leo Romba, a Brooklyn cab driver from France. Leo becomes Cat's driver and a de facto consultant on her cases. While solving crimes with Leo, Cat is also running her own unauthorized investigation into the death of her father, an NYPD detective thought to have been executed by the Capella crime family. In doing so, she clashes with her boss, Captain Baker, and her ex-husband Gregg, who has picked up the case for the FBI.
Taxi Brooklyn premiered in Belgium on March 21, 2014, on La Deux, and in France on April 14, 2014, on TF1. In the United States, the series premiered on June 25, 2014, on NBC, and in both Australia and the United Kingdom on May 25, 2015 on Netflix.
