Double Trouble

Why do y'all keep doing these stupid types of episodes. I don't want to watch a show within a show. And how realistic is this type of plot anyways?! So, not just one doppelgänger, not two doppelgängers, but two couples of doppelgängers and one set are criminals and the other set are cops. Like come on man. On top of that, this particular precinct is soooooo special that they've had multiple documentaries and reality shows about the characters? This is absolutely beyond all belief. I mean, I'll give a pass if all of these style of episodes were filmed at the same time. It allowed for social distancing I suppose, so maybe they were all filmed in 2020. Lol.

Ok, so far...every time the rookie decides to do the following types of episodes, the ratings are always terrible.

• social media interview episodes
• that rookie spinoff character
• million weird camera angles

Clearly, they have zero awareness Or care. Thankfully we only have to endure these types of episodes 1-2 a season

There were very humorous moments in this episode. Even the plot was good. But how they went filming it was awkward and painful to watch. So many cellphone camera and body camera type footage that is horrible for viewers. Novel for a second...painful to endure a whole episode.

And WHY is an undercover cop doing tv interviews? That basically nullifies your career as undercover.

I guess they were aiming for humorous with this, but it came off silly and over the top. It's similar to the episode of the Fonzie jumping over a shark. It's just wet to far with the concept and the result was what are the worst episodes in series history. I genuinely hope they learn from this. A lame episode in which the Chenford dopplegangers are overplayed to the point of self-mockery. And I think the creators and frankly Hollywood itself needs to get over its self fascination with episodes about people making films about people who are making a film. What a lame repetitive overused cliché.

The first one was...fine. The second was pushing it. This one is terrible. The episode in itself isn't completely atrocious. The actors are great, as usual. But I have a huge issue with accepting the fact that they're making a documentary about...AN UNDERCOVER AGENT. And this is the 3rd one she's been in, the logic has left the building. They seriously need to stop with these, and they definitely need to remember some logic. We watch to be entertained, not infuriated by stupidity. It seems they care more about stupid filler we will probably watch anyway, as opposed to actually delivering a good episode. That's a sure fire way to not get renewed for another season.

The producers and director of The Rookie at one time would be considered geniuses. After creating 2 episodes based on a documentary gives good reason to believe another documentary type of episode will be created. The ratings are the lowest for the documentary episodes. It's a complete waste of time. The series will plummet if this continues and a sudden finale will end up the cancellation of the series. The producers and director need to get their heads checked. Complete waste of a full hour of time for viewers initially looking forward to a great episode. Get your acts together otherwise the demise of the show will squarely fall on your shoulders.
