Review of The Rookie

The Rookie (2018– )
8/10
Great show on the verge of going down the Castle hill
10 June 2022
If you cast Nathan Fillion, Melissa O'Neil and Richard T. Jones, you can't do much wrong. The rest of the cast is equally great, especially impressive is Dylan Conrique who is as young in real life as her character as well as Superman as the bad cop you love to hate.

I hope they let Dylans character graduate high school and then enter police academy and become the new rookie.

The writing is mostly very enjoyable and I think they handled the whole BLM/defund the police topic in season 3 in a very balanced non judgmental way. Unlike many other commentators I don't consider the episodes preachy or woke.

The only problem I have with this show is the same I had with Castle - the unrealistic "secret service world domination" stories with an "invincible foe above the law".

I know that the show is set in L. A., but I could do with a lot fewer mass shootouts.
