The Rookie

Overview

Starting over isn't easy, especially for small-town guy John Nolan, who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of becoming an LAPD officer. As the force's oldest rookie, he's met with skepticism from some higher-ups who see him as just a walking midlife crisis. If he can't keep up with the young cops and the criminals, he'll be risking lives -- including his own -- but if he can use his life experience, determination and sense of humor to give him an edge, he may just become successful in this new chapter of his life.

My thoughts

I absolutely love this show. I have watched it 3 times now I think which is a lot because I discovered it 3ish years ago. This show has a great mix between funny and serious. I love all the characters so much. I especially like how for a show about cops, there’s a good mix between men and women cops and that the women cops aren’t seen as weak. They even hinted to this in an episode in the first season. I will say I’m not the happiest with the newest season so far, but there is still more episodes to come for it to redeem itself. This series does a good job about touching on important issues happening in the world in an easy way.
