The Rookie Season 1-6 [Blu-Ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

The Rookie is one of the better cop shows on tv right now. Nathan Fillion leads a really good cast who all do a good job making this a show worth watching. Anyone who’s seen Fillion in a show knows he never disappoints. This show does good job balancing drama, action, suspense and humor. It also shows how tough it is to be a police officer both at work and at home. Some of the negative reviews are from people that don’t like that they take real world problems of today and apply them to the show. Everyone knows there are a thousand police shows to choose from but if you’re looking for an exciting and original show then give The Rookie a try.

I have to say I’ve really enjoyed The Rookie even more than I though I would. I’ve been a Nathan Fillan fan since Castle and he really shines here. He stars as John Nolan, a 40-something year rookie for the LAPD. After a life altering incident he chooses to pursue his dream of becoming a police officer. As the oldest rookie he has to persuade skeptics that he’s cut out for the job and that this isn’t some mid life crisis. These are several supporting characters in this and they all bring a sense of entertainment to the show. It’s a really easy show to sit back and watch and even have on as background viewing. It’s one of the better cop shows of the last few years.

At first I thought “no please, not another cop show” and I wasn’t sure about Nathan Fillion as a cop. But I must say, the directing is spot on, and the writing is refreshing – especially the relationships of the rookies and their T.O’s, their relationship with each other, the conflicts they have to deal with, and the use/views of the body cams. Also surprisingly, Fillion is perfect for this part and nails his role, and all other actors were perfectly cast and also are great in their roles. I especially appreciate seeing the various parts of L.A. and the different people/conflicts the LAPD has to deal with – outside and within the force. So far so good, let’s hope the writing progresses as good at the pilot was throughout the season. A well deserved 8/10 from me.
