The Rookie: Under Siege (2023)
Really good!
This episode got my adrenaline up and left me enough confused in a good way because it created anxiety to watch. I really hope that Season 6 is full-force like this. At the end I had to look up the plot just to see if I missed something about who the final character was. One thing I do hope they fix next season is the perfection of all the characters and their relationships. It's getting a little old that none of them have flaws and all have super-powers in everything. I'm hoping also they bring in another batch of new rookies again (like the original 3) and make some of them normal - maybe even have one wash out instead of turning into a super human.
The Rookie: Feds (2022)
Annoying!
I enjoy The Rookie thoroughly and thought this would be some added enjoyment. Wrong! Yes, both shows are pretty unrealistic, but Feds just is beyond implausible. What's more, the characters are so annoying - from screechy, somehow always knows more than others character to whiny wimpy profiler for the women and unsteady and wishy-washy men. It's a show that is so bad you start tensing up watching and feel relief and peace when it is turned off. I like "different" personalities but give them some emotions other than constant perky or moody. I tried. I tried so hard to like this and just cannot finish.
The Rookie: Hit and Run (2021)
Ridiculous Chen & Body Cam Usage
This show has been one of my favorites - overlooking a lot of impossibility - but Season 4 is ruining the characters and action now, especially episode 8.
Body cam always shaking and jarring was an irritation.
Chen - she's no longer a strong cop and female who can be professional but now a giddy school-girl playing out a crush and her psychological assistance all the time is so inappropriate and poor advice.
For that matter - all the women are starting to be dumbed down in strength and intelligence.
Nolan - the good guy image is getting old in that he's no longer just good but a perfect saint. And gee, how many near life-ending situations?
Tim - starting to be weak as well and able to be manipulated by any woman
This episode just dragged everything down from a great show to can I still watch it?
