The Rookie: Feds

I love the original Rookie though in the past couple series it has veered too much into melodrama/soapy territory and has lost its way a tad.

The first thing about 'Feds' is that it poorly cast. I found the lead irritating in her guest spot on Rookie and wonder whose bright idea it was to give the character her own show.

There is no chemistry between any of the characters and the acting is mostly sub-standard. The pilot failed to engage in any way and I wasn't sure if it was trying to be a comedy or serious drama.

The show has cancellation written all over it. This was a great opportunity to develop the Rookie franchise but this is really an epic fail.

Of course you do - she tells you in every scene.

I've never seen such a weak, unrealistic gimmick played up so much and so unironically.

Seriously, the main character's superpower - and they treat it as a superpower - is that she was a high school guidance counselor. Somehow this gives her the insight to crack tough cases that seasoned, experienced, highly-trained, long-time agents can't.

That's the premise of the show. Former high school guidance counselor shakes up the FBI because of her experience as a former guidance counselor.

Did I mention she's a former high school guidance counselor? Well, she was.

Have I said too much about it? I haven't said as much about it as she does in a typical episode.

If you want to hear how the main character was a high school guidance counselor again and again and again and again, this is the show for you. If not, you might want to find something else to watch.

Where to start. We have 2 people that would never be selected for mall security much lest the FBI. Neither are very likeable and their training agents have so much baggage that it detracts from what little the show offers. Drawing on past experiences is one thing... having to listen to how the smell of a high school locker room could compare to the decomposing bodies in a morgue or being able to profile everything because you figured out what's on a 16 year old boys mind gets old fast. The unorganic way that social issues pop into the show make it feel more like an infomercial for the cause of the day. All in all, simply a poor spinoff.

Love Neicy; but I am very disappointed in her silly and gross presentation. Button up the blouse please. Professional women everywhere are cringing. How long have we fought to stop having men look at our chests and minimize our worth? Glad to have a spin-off and cross-over; but this is an insult to association with The Rookie. The Rookie is a serious drama and The Rookie Feds is a spoof comedy disaster. I hope this will clean up fast. The general idea is welcome. It is very hard to keep watching in its current state. It is an insult to Federal Investigators everywhere. This is a disservice to characters of The Rookie!

Comedy show, none of the genres IMDB put on this show are true. Nothing about the first episode was crime or action, -or even drama, it was old school silent movie jokes, with sound on them, all the way through.

Starring Kevin Hart playing two huge boobies with a female face attached, resembling Niecy Nash.

Sorry but its true, Niecy Nash acts, sounds and moves like Kevin Hart, and that frequency of Her voice makes dogs run and hide.

That being said, the show is kind of okay, of course all the actors from the real Rookie show are in this one as well, and at least they do a good job at being...them.

I gave it 4 stars, because I expected realism to some extent, but its a comedy, at least the first episode was.

Hoping it gets a lot better.
