A Cop Drama With Nathan Fillion, I started it watching it because of him and honestly its a pretty enjoyable show with an array of characters. Not your usual cop drama, there is the right amount of humor and I'm liking it and I want to see where this goes. Lethal Weapon is based on the comedy and has some dramatic elements. Chicago P.D. is a serious drama and you get invested in every moment, this one comes right inbetween.

I just love how Nathan Fillion plays his character, just brings me back to the Firefly days.

They are clearly trying to be Southland, but it ends up being cheesy. The magic of Southland was how gritty and realistic it was, you can't really get that on network television.

I think these cops are under fire more than the guys in Full Metal Jacket. It's pure silliness.

Really liking this - even the most current topics seem to be handled in a considered way.

Pretty decent series, Nathan is great

First 2 seasons are definitely recommended. It got "woke" in season 3 and isn't worth the time anymore. Unfollowed.

It's a mainstream cop friendly show. ("Join the LAPD today!")
Lots of action. Flat story.

Boring Characters. Diverse cast

There are a lot better cop shows out there: True Detective, the wire
Don't waste your time with this.

Started watching for Nathan and was not disappointed. Perfect amount of humour, action and familiar character developed to make it addictive without being tiring. It's rare that i get to season 2 of a show and would prefer not to have a break until the third season. Also like the addition of body cam footage, makes me feel more part of the action. How realistic is it? Frankly don't care, I can watch a number of show, heavy dramas for that which I equally love but that's not what i came here for. As advertised.

First of all, this is not a crime show. This is a slice of life drama that just happens to star a group of cops. The crimes don't matter. All that matters is the relationship between the team members and how they feel. That could be great if it's done well, but it's underwhelming here.

It appears they're trying to present an idealised idea of being a cop. Like the job is something out of an action movie where the cops are the heroes and their office is a kind of bootcamp, where superiors demean and bully their underlings (even in front of criminals).

At one point in the first episode, one supervisor (as a kind of twisted hazing ritual) [spoiler]deliberately sets his rookie up to be attacked by a drug dealer (lucky he didn't have a knife or something), and then stands and watches, smugly, while his rookie is receiving punches.[/spoiler] Yet, by the end of the same episode I'm supposed to feel sympathetic for that supervisor? No, thank you.

The Rookie is a really good police series! Towards the season 3, the series try to integrate in the story the real life events of BLM and the death of George Floyd but without acknowledging them specifically in canon - but still making them feel relevant and I think that it does a good job of commenting about crime brutality and police defunding whislt being fair with both sides and without compromising the plot.
Overall, it does a fine job with the plot and the characters. I WAS expecting to be a little bit more of a comedy since it has Nathan Fillion as a lead, but it is really not. But it does a fine job of being an entretaining series.

EDIT: Oh no - they [spoiler]kill[/spoiler] the gay in season 4 . x_________x

First 2 seasons entertaining 3rd season really really woke and not entertaining

1st & 2nd seasons were wonderful! 3rd season went completely woke, but luckily the 4th season has pulled back from the woke based storylines and are now similar to seasons 1 & 2 and much much better for it!

its about a police drama, but somewhat light compared with CSI, Law and Order etc, that shows the lives of police offices in Los Angeles. It isn't a pure comedy, there have heavy subjects approached in the show like the dangers of indeciveness when approaching certain situations, how much of police work is usually dangerous and really daming for the individual on a emotional and physical level etc etc.

Its MC is played by Nathan Fillion, but instead of a lovable comedian, it plays a little, just a little more serious compared with other character Fillion has played. It is a crime drama, but some moments are worth a shuckle or two.

terrific show up until the third season. Absolutely awful. I will never watch anything with these actors again and Nathan Filion was always one of my favorites.

Unfortunately starting from season 3 the show has turned into SJW-BLM-ass-licking - even Nolan has to appologize for either being white or being a man. Its been 4 episodes and there is not a single new possitive white male character.

Fabulous series. I just can't get enough.

Who even talks like these people in the show?

Just imagine having _Stana Katic_ as Dr. Grace.

Just binges the first season, had no idea that I would get hooked. Nice to see a brown coat after all these years. All the show needs is a guest star walk-on by Gina Torres.

Now that its confirmed to have a 4th season, and obviously Nolan passes probation, how does this show still get called The Rookie?

Finally pulling the plug on this show. Just when I think their wokeness can't get any worse the next episode is even more woke and silly than the last. If you feel that having Hollywood force feed you their agenda is fun, this is a great show for you.
