Ramkumar S Nov 10 Never before have I seen a Cop show where the cops are shown as dumb, slow & bumbling!!!! SWAT was far better......... See more D S Oct 24 I hate this show. I am almost done with season one and this garbage turns over every rock to find every cliche possible in a cartoon version of reality. LA's finest are responsible for more illegal activities and police brutality and corruption than any other force in the nation. There are too many cop shows and movies dedicated to the realities of just how bad the corruption is in the LAPD. This isn't just sanitized, it's a cartoon. I love Nathan Fillion and he is the only reason I continued to watch this far. It is an insult to the Force itself because it makes unrealistic heroes that no real police officer or detective could possibly live up to. I have lived my life knowing cops, knowing dirty bad cops, and seeing every day responses to nominal situations that called for calm when the police showed up and made a mess. In my estimation, in my experience, police are just like plumbers or electricians, not surgeons. They are supposed to live up to a higher standard but that flies out the window as soon as they are on the job. This show has a strict ridiculous superhero standard of ethics and morality play that is so far away from reality, it truly is a cartoon. The way they shoot it, the situations that regular beat cops would never be in, even something as simple as a nighttime murder being done under bright lights and possible ring cameras or security cameras begs the audience to be as dumb and numb as the writers. Well, we're not, we notice, and it is an insult. Every single episode. BLECK. See more Thanatos I Sep 10 This is a good and fun show. It's fun watching NF try to fill in the shoes of a rookie. Unfortunately, I see the creation of fem-boss characters being formed and that it will really embrace the agenda in the future, but for now, for a first season it's a good cop show.

See more Charlotte H Aug 6 Honestly, The Rookie is a fantastic show, all seasons included. I usually don’t enjoy overly dramatic police dramas because they can feel unrealistic—especially since I have a family member in law enforcement and know that many of the intense scenarios portrayed are unlikely to happen in real life. That said, watching The Rookie was a surprisingly interesting experience. I quickly became invested in the characters, to the point where I genuinely felt upset when they were in danger or got hurt. The show strikes a great balance between drama, action, humor, and heartfelt moments. If you're looking for something that's exciting but also emotionally engaging, I highly recommend giving The Rookie a watch. See more Robert M. @Mydlo1162 Jul 31 Love the show!
