Starting over isn't easy, especially for small-town guy John Nolan, who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of becoming an LAPD officer. As the force's oldest rookie, he's met with skepticism from some higher-ups who see him as just a walking midlife crisis. If he can't keep up with the young cops and the criminals, he'll be risking lives -- including his own -- but if he can use his life experience, determination and sense of humor to give him an edge, he may just become successful in this new chapter of his life.

American M A more basic but still really good season to watch, not as good as season 1 but holy this is by far still a must watch, 10/10 would recommend Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Audience Member Not remotely as good as season 1 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Audience Member Wow very good season , many plot twist and many crazy moments , the action was great the jokes were good , and we had very good episodes with very good cliffhangers , I would say that this season is even better than the 1st one in the first 7 episodes I was kind of critical but the other episodes were absolutely amazing , I recommend this season to everybody to watch , very well done. I kind of miss Talia Bishop who was the first boss of Officer Nolan , but I kind of like the new boss of him now , so overall I would say that is a great follow up to the 1st season and way better , not many tv shows can do that. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Alexei S Pretty good but the main character's romance in this season takes too much space for how uninteresting it is. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Telecom Reporter G Fantastic storyline and outstanding performances by the actors. Truly enjoyed it ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Adrian C a interesting way of writing with a lot of twist's. If you like a good cop show this is a must see.
