Like many others I started watching this for Nathan Fillion, he always plays likable characters and the first couple seasons of this were just that.

Now, though, they have (and nobody should be surprised) made this into a platform for political correctness and virtue signaling.

The first two seasons were actually pretty fun to watch, come season 3 and every episode has huge political statements to make, even making a professor who believes cops are bad and corrupt and racist a main cast member. Black inequality righted? Check. Gay inequality righted? Check. Cops are bad and racist? Check. Cops should be defunded? Check. Who needs a good story when we can just do that instead?

Season 3 has been all about being PC about everything, being a social justice warrior about everything and, overall isn't the interesting story line we got in the first two seasons about a middle aged man who becomes a cop and the challenges he has to overcome.

So what happens in season 4 when "The Rookie" is no longer a rookie? Will there be a new batch of Rookies that our main character gets to impart his wisdom upon? Probably, and we'll get more political correctness and virtue signaling shoved down our throats since it will be made in 2021.

Wow wow wow thats all I can say I watched the premeire of this show and it was a all out blast this is not a show that takes itsself too seriously or jokes too much it's kinda in the middle just rhe way I love it hilarious and also kick-ass the guy from castle is upbeat and charming. As well I love love loved this show it was fantastic no doubt one of the falls best

I thought so low about this. That bc of the main actor it would be a comedy or just another cop show which I was done bc of the schematic eps and so little insights with the main cast. Well I was soo wrong! It's so entertaining and maybe sometimes naive but mainly it just show you that you don't have to be tough and a handsome hunk to be great at the cop thing. John doesn't look like a cop, doesn't act like a cop really. He's naive, he's a teddy bear almost but he's gonna move mountains to change a 'crook' when he sees the person has potential.
I don't understand how the hell so many women are so into him which is hilarious. As well with the fact he's a rookie.
The comedy is there but the cases feel fresh and many times I didn't know how they will turn out and I have seen many cop shows. The romantic relationships feel fake to me and I couldn't feel anything for pretty much all of the relationships, not only with Nolan (maybe when he was with Jess but the relationship was mainly off screen and in the end felt rushed butthe chemistry was there at the beginning, love the actress, sad they didn't show her more). The relationships between the officers on the other hand. By the finale of the 2nd season I saw many scenes so believable I was rooting for the characters I didn't even like just bc they all really started to feel like a family. Boots and TOs. It's really outstanding for me. I feel hangover now (watch the entire show in 2 days) and I want to watch more cp shows but I know there aren't any like that.

Where to begin? Well, first off, I think this show is entertaining and I don't think that will ever change, no matter how much others dislike it or aspects about it and gradually disliking it more and more. There are technical discrepancies when it comes to certain things when compared with real life, I'm sure. But I think some people are overly harsh when it comes to them. There are also other aspects not solely related to how the technicalities are done that I've seen people dwell on, and honestly, I don't even notice them. There comes a point where constantly dwelling on things like that is just out of an egotistical mindset that those things are this unbearable issue, and they're not. I'd go as far as to say that some may start doing it out of spite. At this point, some people must be looking for anything, any little, inconsequential detail to complain about. The show is meant to entertain, and for me, it does just that. If that's not the case for you, I imagine it's because you're choosing to dwell on meaningless details to where that's all you care about and can focus on, and you can't let yourself be entertained as a subsequent offshoot of that. You'd be best off if you quit watching the show if you're one of those people, and there's no need to continue watching the show. For me, this show isn't this wonderful, like-none-other show or anything like that. The fact is, it can be uninteresting for me at times, or some parts of an episode. Regardless of that, I enjoy watching it. The concept is entertaining, and by that, I mean that it's a police procedural. Not all of them are entertaining, but this one is. Take that however you'd like.
