Review of Standoff

The Rookie: Standoff (2019)
Season 1, Episode 9
Riveting
10 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A riveting and offeat segment in which Fillion's character is sidelined, taken off active duty for a while, so he serves for comic relief trying to provide custoer service at the station house as well as delivering human interest content, with his fellow cops taking over center stage for a tremendous standoff against a villain with a dozen armed men trapping them in an apartment building. The cops are there to save a pregnant woman from the abusive and homicidal bad guy who cares nothing about her but only for the unborn child she's carrying.

Former B-movie actor John Terlesky keeps the tension at maximum level during this life and death episode.
