The Rookie - US-Pace- ABC (**Spoilers**)

punisher5112

Needs more action...

When it started I was like this is going to be deadly.....

Not so much now but I'll hold off from scraping it yet, hopefully some more action is coming....

Clareman

Considering an actress left the show with allegations "bullying, racist comments, sexual harassment and sexual assault on set" I think it's a brave move on the show to address any of those topics and I can't imagine them taking any chances so can't see anything but Roth being found to be a racist and have the book thrown at him with some big speech about how racism comes in different forms and will never be condoned

California Dreamer

Please Please do not thow in a pregnant Lopez losing her baby on the job ****e that seems to be all so common!

I am also waiting on the Brandon Routh/Shawn Ashmore off cuff comment about Superman and for the 'fans' to go wild!

Aaron Ashmore played Jimmy Olsen in Smallville, not Shawn. He did appear in an episode though. Guessing that's what you're talking about

Thats it, but such a memorable actor(s)

A cracker of an episode. Loved the twist with the bodycam too.

Is it back on tv or a stream service?

Cant see where it says if it’s on Sky tv, on the Fox channel, or somewhere else. Just takes me to episode 5 and when the original air date in the US was.

Slippin Jimmy

That was a brilliant episode. Justice was served.

Mr E

@Emmet - US only at the moment. You can't watch on TV or streaming services here.

Mc Love

Cracking episode

Tom Mann Centuria

Still a good series and still really enjoying it, but (and I appreciate why they feel the need to do it) the "let's fix this bit of the police" each week is a bit on the nose now.

Agent Coulson

Nice follow up episode from a scene that could have been a throw away in a previous episode.

Frankie Muniz & Rainn Wilson

Mr E

Hmm... I think that's my least favourite Rookie episode. Didn't like that at all.

Clareman

That seemed to be have 1 that they did during lockdown, everyone was kept away from each other and the clearly used previously shot footage, not sure why Nolan was the only 1 not in uniform.

Only managed 20m of it, annoying beyond belief.

California Dreamer

Worst Episode Ever!

Episode 11 new blood was good, I thought the latest rookie was going to be a great addition

Certainly had potential. Although whatever about Nathan Fillion, Greg Grunberg doesn't look like he could run a bath let alone after a suspect.

I liked her. I'd say/hope she'll be back (the line from Tim about her being able to return up to 3 years or something).

Emily Deschanel joins

Nice surprise seeing

Emily Deschanel turn up as John's ex I didn't know she had joined the cast

I didnt think they were well matched to be honest.

I also expect Henry's fiance to bail.

Madelyn

just watched the first episode of series 3. Good show, bit cheesy in spots but easy to watch.

Mollyb60

So John's life changing decision was just to say 'do what Henry wants?' Not really life changing is it? I didn't really feel any chemistry between Fillion and Deschanel either. Although I don't think Deschanel is a great actress anyway. She has one speed - Bones.
It's a pity they dropped the storyline with John and the doctor. They were great together I thought.

I was hopoing for the cream bikini!

Great episode this week. Fantastic to see

Brandon Routh's character getting screwed.... again!

Yep, he got what was coming to him. Next week is the season finale so looks like reduced number of episodes, down from 20 to 14

Agent Coulson

That was a class episode.

JP Liz V1

Renewed

Agent Coulson

Spotted that season finale cliffhanger ending coming but still a good one.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Been playing catch-up on The Rookie for the last couple of months, watching from the beginning. Finished the penultimate episode of Season 3 last night in time to watch the finale this afternoon. A tad predictable ending, but love it all the same.

Love all the characters, and I like how they use recurring and guest characters, people can show up sporadically and not outstay their welcome. That said, I wouldn't say no to even more of Smitty (although it's probably for the best he's left for background comic relief) and more regular appearances from frenemy convict Oscar Hutchinson would be amazing (always a treat when he shows up).

What am I supposed to do now until season 4, with no regular Rookie fix though? Feeling the withdrawals hitting already.

punisher5112

To be honest I expected the exact thing but was surprised to see how little action for the better word....

It's very watered down in my opinion

I love this show there's been one or two kind of ok episodes but I'd be hard pushed to think of a bad one across all 3 seasons.

One thing that was noted in TvLine article, the poster for the new season seems to be missing a certain character

If you have any interest in the genre, sure. They didn't even do it very well either and I lasted about 20 minutes. It is the worst rated of the whole 3 seasons.

And yet I still thought it was ok.

Last season wasn't great.

I was surprised that it was renewed.

Clareman

This is fine for what it is, 40 minutes of background noise, I'd have it along the lines of Magnum, Blue Bloods and shows like that, decent 40 minute show with some stortlines through it, if you miss it for a few weeks it's no great hardship, you can either binge the ones you missed or skip them altogether. It has over 50 episodes now so I wouldn't be surprised if they got renewed for another couple of seasons, can't imagine there's too much money spent on it, they'll probably start swopping out some of the original cast to save on salaries soon.

seemed to suffer badly from Covid restrictions, imo. I think it also suffered with being a cop show filmed in the aftermath of the George Floyd murder - they were quite unsubtle about good cop/bad cop, community feeling towards cops etc, which is also (apparently) part of the reason Brooklym 99 is finishing up, being a cop show is difficult, it seems.

I hope this season is better, cause it needs to be, but I can see how and why last season was a struggle.

Clareman

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117852177#Comment_117852177

They had a decent story line going with Jackson and Brandon Routh's character but you could see that they got away from it very quickly.

EoinMcLovin

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117852177#Comment_117852177

Yeah Brooklyn Nine Nine doesn't feel the same this season, no wonder it's ending. They seem to be focusing on Police Reform alot in most episodes along with how the Union makes things harder for them.

I found the last series very woke.

Alot of American shows have gone that way.

I get they are trying to "educate their audience" and "raise awareness" but they lost the entertainment element along the way.
