Jumped the sharkJumped the shark with the start of the 4th episode. Pushing the LGBT agenda and politically correct nonsense. And no cop would do this, listen to sob story and allow two arrested criminals to propose to each other. Just a way for the show to check the gay rights box. Sad. Will not be watching this show anymore. Wake up TV land, mainstream America does not want this crap pushed on us in every show..Score: 1/5

Could have would have should haveIt’s such a great idea. It could have been great. The actors are good and solid. If only they had a more original script? It was so unoriginal and the set up of each character was by the numbers. It needs quirks and twists and turns. It was only good in fleeting moments. They should have worked on the script more..Score: 2/5

LOVE THIS SERIES!!!! A MUST-SEE!Nathon Fillon is a brilliant actor who really makes this series worth watching. But all the other actors are really good as well. They are superbly casted. The writing is really good too! Just the right combination of action, drama and humor. Unfortunately there are so many series nowadays that are not very good. So I am even more thrilled to finally have such a great series to watch! Hope this series will run for a very long time. Am a big fan!!!.Score: 5/5

💕Hope there's a season two!!.Score: 5/5

THE ROOKIE RATES A+Loved the pilot. I'm hooked!.Score: 5/5

Has potential but . . .. . . the writing is so heavy-handed. I get that they need to set up the characters and the storyline in the pilot in order to draw us in, but I have rarely seen so many clichés and overused plot points in a single episode. I am a huge Nathan Fillion fan; and, he and the rest of the cast bring solid acting to this show, but the material they have to work with needs finesse, some original ideas and much greater depth. I wish this.Score: 3/5

The RookieNathan Fillion (“John Nolan”) appears to have another “great,” series (eg, Castle) w/ a long life ahead of himself/itself. And just like in “Castle,” Nathan has an amazing set of cast-members & writers surrounding him. I fully expect “The Rookie” has MANY entertaining seasons ahead of itself. If you haven’t yet checked the series out, you definitely should. 👍👍.Score: 5/5

He really isYou know, he really is ruggedly handsome... And one hell of an actor. I enjoyed the pilot. Hope it can maintain that level of humor and intensity..Score: 4/5

It could have been so good...but it's not!Nathan Fillion is great, he shows his great skills as an actor while injecting that sly humor of his. No problem with his performance. The rest of the show however, is absolute tosh. It looks like an LAPD recruiting video: Welcome to the LAPD, intense action, live in a mini-mansion, and sleep with beautiful rookies. Yet another show made by a committee of coked-up studio execs..Score: 1/5
