r/TheRookie

Okay so after Chen and Nolan became actual cops - there really is no rookies in the show (im only on season 5 rn tho) The only person who I can see is still a training Officer is Nolan.

Like genuinely i hope theres more in later seasons because they’re kinda missing the title of the show at this rate. Other than that still love the show

I'm partially rewatching series 1 and I feel like there's so much more to Bishop's storyline.

The mysterious flowers from the married man on valentine's day.

Why she wanted to break up Lucy and Nolan so badly?

She was well written and I feel like there was more too her had the actress felt safe enough to continue in season 2.

It needs 10,000 votes to become an actual set.. not mine, by the way! I just saw it and thought it was an interesting idea :)

That was one of the most painful things I've ever watched. I don't mind watching their skits on YouTube and whatnot, but that was one of the most painfully unfunny things I've ever had to sit through

Title says it all really

I've seen so many people complain about the show being unrealistic. Some stuff in the show is weird and doesn't make sense I'll admit, but of course all the episodes aren't gonna be perfect. It's tv, it's entertaining because of the unrealistic stuff. Yes some things definitely don't need to be added in the show because the writers should know fans will probably not like it, especially if they keep redoing things that got bad feedback in the past, but people seem to require 100% realism. It's not gonna happen. But in s9 they definitely need to have more patrol stuff then the crazy missions that were in s8.

I'm not saying every fan is like this so don't go crazy.

Does the show continue at this writing level and pace? I feel a significant drop in the quality of interactions and overall preachiness for lack of a better term. Just wondering if I should continue if this is the show moving forward.

So in season 1 Nolan and Lucy cant be together because they are cops. So they evidently break up so she doesnt get a rep. Keep in mind he's her equal they are both rookies. But shes allowed to date Tim while hes both also a cop PLUS her superior in the first half of their relationship before the break up. They get back together when they are equals but overall all three are cops. Make it make sense.

Ultimately I agree that Nolan and Bailey

Tim and Lucy are the better matches but doesnt change my point. We're they just hoping people wouldnt remember the first season or did they not consider people like to rewatch shows

Second time watching through season 8, both times I've felt there's something really off about the whole explosion situation near the end of the episode. Like 'oh by the way the station blew up. Now onto more pressing matters-'. Sort of underwhelming for the choice of background music and the cinematography, in a weird way. I don't know. Anyone else feel that way? Like there's supposed to be something more to what should be a catastrophe than the sort of mild-moderate inconvenience (which sounds really bad when I say that) it got mushed down into.

S5:E9 35 min in.

Chen and Aaron search the nasy motel for the dead guys baby.

Big fat ghetto looking mofo steps out, sees blue and pulls his piece.

At a range near close enough to slap. Chen pops off 2 or three rounds and there isn't a mark on the guy. The same Chen that beat every other patrol officer on the range.

I get it, they limit how many bad guys get killed on this show so "justice can be done" but that that range she should have put one in his gut on the way up and one in his chest.
