Storyline

Drama following six diverse NYPD rookies as they patrol the gritty streets of upper Manhattan. The new trainees include Jennifer "White House" Perry, a former college volleyball star and Marine MP in Iraq with a take-charge attitude; Ray "Lazarus" Harper, the oldest rookie and a former police news reporter with better sources than most seasoned cops; Tonya Sanchez, who comes from a family with a criminal history; Ahmad Kahn, an Afghani native who fought his way to freedom; Kenny McClaren, a fourth-generation police officer with great instincts but qualms about joining the force; and Jayson "Jackpot" Toney, a young basketball legend who squandered his opportunity in the NBA. Their demanding Field Training Officer, Daniel "Yoda" Dean, is a case-hardened, unsentimental veteran of the force who emphasizes basics and holds each cop accountable for their actions.

It's getting worse ...

Though i liked the pilot, the last three episodes have been on a descending slope; oh, hasn't The Killing thought me anything? Well apparently not because i just dedicated a whole day catching up with NYC 22's last outings and i'm noticing more and more of the same: this is purely a "fantasy" police drama.

Now experience tells me that Fantasy and Drama don't normally go well together and there you have it, my review of NYC 22. too many weird, unrealistic things happening which completely befuddle you into thinking, "is this a serious show, i am watching, or complete rubbish?"

Rookie cops defusing bombs, radios that malfunction, specialist jobs being assigned randomly, such as investigations or detainee transport .. these are not beat-cop jobs, and have the writers really run out of ideas after four episodes? If you are going to center your show on rookies then you have to come up with rookies-related stories... other stuff won't do.

So, it's not really horrible, but we've already got CSI for those times when we want a completely unrealistic show and no thanks, we don't need one more, especially when it's this slow.

My vote, a forgettable 5/10
