The Rookie: La Fiera (2021)
Season 3, Episode 3
5/10
Show has become increasingly oh so woke and just so plotted, at the same time

Warning: Spoilers
Most of the characters' problems are too quickly resolved. If only life were this easy. John's Mom arrives with problems that have plagued their relationship for decades, but by the end, mother and son have a good talk, recognize that they are both tired of playing games and resolve to try to do better by each other.

Another officer has decided to save a homeless teen and, by golly, this problem appears to be resolved by the end, too.

Another civilian is having a baby, and the officer takes her to the hospital and sees it through until she has her baby safely. Doesn't this officer have other claims on her time?

John is trying to be helpful to a neighborhood, but he is constantly criticized by a resident for misplaced do-goodism and its unintended consequences. But they agree to work together by the end.

The only problem that isn't resolved in an hour is the problem of an aggressive cop who goes off on civilians, all of whom he assumes are gang members. Two cops go to their supervisor and urge him to do something about this cop. He decides to put the offending officer on desk duty, but by the end, he seems to have changed his mind and indicates he might do something more drastic about the bad cop. To be continued....

Very well acted, but the fast resolutions of the majority of issues is too pat. Left me saying, "Oh, come on."
