The Rookie

Fillion is likable as always, the supporting cast is OK. There is a shootout in every single episode. So far its a good second tier show.

I watched all eight seasons and enjoyed the ensemble enough to keep going. Earlier seasons were much better. Later writing became increasingly sensational, convenient and forced, with competent characters sometimes becoming stupid because the plot required danger. Also the copaganda was a bit too much. Considering what has been going on in the news, this was quite annoying to portray these superhuman cops that put themselves in harms way repeatedly to avoid using force!

Great series, thoroughly enjoyed. Some of the plot drags on sometimes, but the episodes are individually well written.

I really love the rookie it’s one of my favourite shows

The Rookie worked very well for me. It is a highly entertaining show, very well made within its format, and it has a fairly unusual ability to stay likable even when it moves through territory that many other police dramas have already covered.

Nathan Fillion brings plenty of charisma to this police drama, making John Nolan's unusual path into the LAPD easy to follow. The show balances police cases with the personal lives of its officers, giving the characters enough development to keep the story moving beyond individual episodes. Some storylines become overly dramatic, and the formula can get repetitive, but the ensemble is strong and the action keeps things engaging. It's a little cheesy at times, but consistently entertaining.

Police drama but it isn't unbearably boring. The focus is more put on the characters than the policing but there still ends up being a shootout every episode. Don't go in it for a realistic police show, as much as they may nail it on some areas, it's supposed to be an entertaining cop drama. Nathan Fillion is amazing and so is the supporting cast. Characters come and go and are actually not copy-paste one after the other. It's also pretty funny at times and hits hard other times.

S1: 4/10
