The Rookie: S.T.R. (2023)
Decent episode, not the best but better than some
I like the plot, only issue is all the add on characters like Skip Tracer Randy, also Lopez & Thorston not doing anything... We could have had an episode where they were merely seen in the station, they didn't have to have a goofy babysitting sub-plot...
I did like how they reintroduced Isabella and I would actually enjoy seeing her as a reoccurring character like Smitty... Maybe she could find a way back on the LAPD somehow... Maybe letting Lopez sit out on maturity leave, and she steps in to help out... Of course Wesley & Lopez can still appear, just take a back seat for a few episodes...
Needless I still liked this episode better than the 1s where they are being interviewed which are boring and serve no true purpose...
Night Court (2023)
Weak
John Larroquette is the only thing saving this show... His timing and quick whit could possibly carry it for the season while it irons out the bugs...
Melissa Rauch is good, but she feel manufactured, she has impeccably comedic skills and needs to rely on that and her ad-libbing abilty, not on the dry scripting they currently have...
The prosecutor and court reporter are just bland and boring, the prosecutor has potential if she follows Larroquette's lead, but she needs to feed off his skill set...
LaCretta plays the bailiff and quiet honestly she is the worst part of the show... She isn't funny and it feels like she is trying to hard to be funny... She is no Marsha Warfield...
I think with some fine tuning and replacing the court reporter and the bailiff this show could be saved...
Remember the original went through a few cast changes early on also... It may take a couple of seasons to get the right chemistry... Let's just hope it lots that long.
