After years of playing formidable women such as Carmela Soprano (“The Sopranos”), Jackie Peyton (“Nurse Jackie”), Celeste Cunningham (“30 Rock”) and the real-life Leslie Abramson (“Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders”), Edie Falco is adding another to the list: Abigail Thomas aka the titular “Tommy” in CBS’s new cop drama.

We know from The Sopranos what Edie Falco can do with great writing. And now, thanks to Tommy, we know what she can do with procedural-tier writing. The four-time Emmy winner is so talented that she can make this formulaic CBS cop drama watchable. She can't quite make it good, but she saves it from being bad. The middling scripts give her just enough to work with to keep the show alive with warmth and wry humor delivered in her signature naturalistic style.

On Tommy, a new drama series premiering Feb. 6 on CBS, Edie Falco is seemingly very far from the New York City metro area she's so closely associated with thanks to her performances on The Sopranos and Nurse Jackie. She plays Abigail "Tommy" Thomas, a New York Police Department legend who moves across the country to become the first female chief of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Edie Falco has completed a circle of sorts in her 20-year career on television.
