The Rookie is one of the better cop shows on tv right now. Nathan Fillion leads a really good cast who all do a good job making this a show worth watching. Anyone who's seen Fillion in a show knows he never disappoints. This show does good job balancing drama, action, suspense and humor. It also shows how tough it is to be a police officer both at work and at home. Some of the negative reviews are from people that don't like that they take real world problems of today and apply them to the show. Everyone knows there are a thousand police shows to choose from but if you're looking for an exciting and original show then give The Rookie a try.

I have to say I've really enjoyed The Rookie even more than I though I would. I've been a Nathan Fillan fan since Castle and he really shines here. He stars as John Nolan, a 40-something year rookie for the LAPD. After a life altering incident he chooses to pursue his dream of becoming a police officer. As the oldest rookie he has to persuade skeptics that he's cut out for the job and that this isn't some mid life crisis. These are several supporting characters in this and they all bring a sense of entertainment to the show. It's a really easy show to sit back and watch and even have on as background viewing. It's one of the better cop shows of the last few years.

At first I thought "no please, not another cop show" and I wasn't sure about Nathan Fillion as a cop. But I must say, the directing is spot on, and the writing is refreshing - especially the relationships of the rookies and their T.O's, their relationship with each other, the conflicts they have to deal with, and the use/views of the body cams. Also surprisingly, Fillion is perfect for this part and nails his role, and all other actors were perfectly cast and also are great in their roles. I especially appreciate seeing the various parts of L.A. and the different people/conflicts the LAPD has to deal with - outside and within the force. So far so good, let's hope the writing progresses as good at the pilot was throughout the season. A well deserved 8/10 from me.

EDIT: 4/2019 - upped my score from 8 to 9/10... the writing has vastly improved; more realistic (and original) drama, and much less cliched cheese. Keep it up guys!

As an active police officer of 25 years, I'm currently 54, it was like watching my own body cam footage from the last few months! I am hooked on this show! P. Ball

This series started off strong but the writers of season 3 seems to want shove every PC issue into every episode. There's just too much baggage to make you care about any of it.

I loved watching the first two seasons. The acting and storytelling was perfect but then we have season 3. As of writing this, I have watched 6 or 7 episodes of season 3 and it just keeps getting worse. I believe that racism is a problem but the character portrayed by Brandon Routh is a one dimensional caricature of a stereotypical white male racist cop. Whoever decided that Brandon Routh should play this caricature should have been fired on the spot. The only constantly good thing is Nathan Fillion's character, John Nolan and he is the only reason I'll keep watching this show. Currently there are only 4 seasons available on Netflix in my country and reading some of the other reviews on here. I think I'm gonna need a bottle or two of hard liquor to help me finish watching the show. It's sad that they ruined such an amazing show.

The first two seasons of The Rookie were probably among the best bits of televisison content I have seen in a while. Very fun, entertaining and enjoyable. The only issue I have had from the beginning is that the rookies participate in high risk situations from the very start. I find that bothering as it seems not very realistic. Overall I would still easily give S1-2 an 8 star rating.

With Season 3 the series started to decline. Too much drama, too many high risk missions, officers with little experience participating in SWAT raids and undercover missions and even going on an unsanctioned mission abroad. I find that all to be a bit too much.

This continued for S4 and S5 with the latter having very weak stories and character developement, leaning too heavily on action and seamingly tragic events. The season finales in particular are dissapointing as they continue to descent into unrealistic storytelling.

As of March 24, I have high hopes for S6 which so far is looking good.

Overall, I rate this series 7/10 as it does not uphold the quality of the first two seasons but 6/10 seems a bit harsh since it is still somewhat binge-worthy even in the later seasons.

Please bring this show back for a second season. Nathan has many fans, not to mention the rest of the cast is great. Pls pls pls.

Wow! I loved it, keep up the good writing, the good plot lines & the relationships of the characters as they settle into their roles & we've got an entertaining hour of tv!

Sometimes it seems all the big networks make are police/legal procedurals or medical dramas. Rookie really stood out, which is a challenge in that primetime environment.

Following an older rookie was a smart idea. The patrol aspect is the best. It's chaotic, hectic, feels far less contrived. We get to see what feels like a more real portrayal of the lives of men and women in law enforcement. It's funny, it's poignant.

In later seasons, this disappears quickly and the show becomes much like every other police procedural show. Performances remain pretty solid, but there's a bunch of silly extraneous drama added for everyone to have something to do. Little or nothing of patrol. Investigations. Serial killers obsessed with the featured officers. Less surprises, life lessons and tie ins you can see coming a mile away.

Season 5 had a chance to return to the basics with Nolan becoming a trainer himself, but no dice unfortunately. Feels like a mountain of wasted opportunities. Watch season 1 and pretend it was cancelled after that.

Before you write this off as some hater, know that I'm a person of color. I appreciate the attempt at bringing real life issues into the show, but that does not forgive bad writing or a shove-it-down-your-throat attitude. Season 3 has so far been only about 2 things. Women suffering from men and people of color suffering from bad cops. There's no longer policing, there's no longer "The Rookie". This is another show, and it's the wrong show.

This used to be a goody-two-shoes comic relief police show with just enough drama to make us invested. That doesn't go with this. If you want to talk about these issues that deeply then make another show dedicated to them.

And if you wanted to simply give them an appearance in "The Rookie", then you could have done it more subtly and without simply pulling us out of the story and environment we were used to. For example, Officer Smitty would have been a good character to involve in the racism issues. He's a slacker, comic-relief, but what if we show him when he feels endangered, because of a person of color who doesn't show any cause for danger? That could have been a good tip of the hat towards the issue, and showing it through a character we're familiar with.

One other thing is the death of logic in this third season.

SPOILERS IN THE NEXT LINE. (Check below for Spoiler end and start reading there to avoid season 3 spoilers)

The fact that Jackson's TO would be this stupid when he has the IA commander's son as a boot just doesn't make sense. And if he's as smart and cautious about his racism as they make him out to be, he'd have actually acted like a goody-two-shoes in front of Jackson, which the latter could have noticed and created another plotline about that, but we're past that now.

SPOILER END.

At the moment, I'm conflicted about even finish season 3, I'm at episode 5, and frankly I don't want to watch it. I just want this whole mess over with and for us to get back to the story of The Rookie.

Seasons 1 and 2 were interesting and fun. I'm sure this isn't real life for LA Police but the stories were good and you cared about the characters. Some of it was a bit far fetched but it was entertaining and believable (mostly). My rating is for season 1 and 2.

I'm assuming at the end of season 2 either all the writers and senior staff were changed or they all had a stroke or head injuries because this show starts spiralling downhill fast in season 3. By the start of season 4 the story is absolutely ridiculous and the rookies have become Seal Team 6 (sorry guys probably quite insulting to you).

So .. worth watching seasons 1 and 2 and then pretend that's where it finished.

I really enjoy this series and truly like the way the cast has always felt very cohesive and they just "work"!

Unfortunately, I have to say when Nolan's newest love interest, Bailey the Firefighter joined the cast, it was like What the Hell! Just threw the entire camaraderie feeling totally off! She just doesn't fit and spoiled the happy feelings?

She not a very good actress, looks aren't everything! It surprises me they would disrupt a good thing? Not sure why, but she's still there. There has to be an answer to explain this subpar choice! I truly hope they come to their senses and send her off to some midday soap or something more suited for her lack of acting chops!

Seriously? 2 great seasons and now this?? The show isfor entertainment and NOT to push the current bs narrative.

Seasons 1 & 2 were very entertaining and kept me coming back for more. Season 3...did they change writers???? Sooo much "woke" culture crap being focused on, stop it!

After firefly, 10 years of castle now this. Fillion is definitely the best tv actor out there.

Lost tons of weight for the rookie to make it more believable a 40 yr could do this. Comedy and action 10/10

It started out great in season 1, became a bit over the top in season 2 with rookies being involved in major crimes every day, then season 3 became a social lecture in race relations, gender issues, socio economic concerns, and other touchy feely stuff.

I'm not against having these issues as center pieces in TV shows. Honestly, it's the only way American adults are educated these days, but c'mon. Let them just be cops for an episode or two.

This is a cop show, in the tradition of Southland, Dragnet and Third Watch, but with Nathan Fillion charm thrown in. One of my favorite new shows!!

That is basically the gist of it. Like in any police series, way too many things happen in one episode and the rookies experience more shootings and heavy crime than most police in many life times.

The bad writing is mostly about how the leave of people from the show is dealt with. They might get a short farewell, but then they are gone and nobody thinks about them anymore for more than one episode. That lacks. Also the writers make quite many characters spill deep wisdom out of the blue that usually takes a life-time to acquire and therefore the only one who doesn't look silly doing it, is the Sergeant. Also it is not credible that the receiving end always follows this advise given. Also it is silly how the relationships that end in the show never have a fall-out.

First two seasons had well written characters. Casting decisions seems to a solid positive and The interactions between characters were fun to watch. Show knew when to be funny and when to be serious moment and had me binge watch the first 2 seasons in a couple of days. Nathan fillion is amazing and has his usual charm.

I recommend people to watch the first 2 seasons as these are actually good.

Unfortunately from season 3 on wards show starts its decline. I don't really understand why every show from Hollywood now a days has to show the people of color as some sort of victims. As each episode progresses the show becomes less about cop show and more about pushing political messages.

I was hoping this show wouldn't start virtue signalling. But after watching season 3 i was clearly wrong. And after reading some of ratings for season 4 , i realised that I should have stopped watching after season 2.

Used to be a very entertaining show, this season has a been a huge disappointment.

I never miss this show. Character personalities are spot on. Some funny moments in the show, I never saw coming.
