Review of Rookie Blue

Rookie Blue (2010–2015)
2/10
Ridiculous
25 July 2013
Rookie Blue lost it's plot long time ago, now it's written purely for 13 year old fan-girls after soppy love plots and how they imagine the world of grown-ups. Any relation to actual police work is laughable, it's just a lame scene for "love stories" made for girls who were until recently playing with their Barbies. The stories could just as well be happening on Star Trek SS Enterprise for all it matters (actually that would probably help, there would at least be some justification for all the stupidity of the plots, it would be sci-fi).

Acting is ridiculously exaggerated so that adolescent fan-girls can get the "depth" of the situations, the plots are laughable and often idiotic, tuned to the level of understanding of it target audience.

Rookie Blue was never a high level TV, it used to be a comfortable time killer, it's main attraction for non-teens being the pretty faces of Missy Peregrym and Charlotte Sullivan (the blonde one), and a few eye candies for female audience. Well, the eye candies are all still there, only they turned sickeningly sweet and everything else is long gone. If I see one more "deeply love-hurt" face from Andy McNally (M. Peregrym) or her heart-throb Sam Swarek I'm gonna puke.

I expected much more from M. Peregrym when I first saw her a few years ago in Reaper, I thought she may be the next big thing. Unfortunately, she turned out to be strictly afternoon TV and webisodes face, playing basically the same person and practically the same role over and over.

Shame, Rookie Blue could have been much better, turned into a lame parody.
