Things I love about “The Rookie” (and The Rookie Feds)
I love how they didn’t rush Chenford. If Tim and Lucy got together earlier, there would have been too much power imbalance etc. Also, Lucy had to find her own footing in the department. There was tension from the beginning, but the time wasn’t perfect yet. This was absolutely worth the wait.
I love that Tim is not a big bad bully straight white man. He is rough on the outside, but actually impossibly thoughtful (for example the way he matches his training to his trainee)
I love Tim and Angela’s friendship. He was her Man of Honour! that was beautiful! And their jokes?
I love the friendships in that show. The mentor trios? Tim, Angela and Talia in the first season, and then Nyla? And the rookies being friends, and Celina playing DnD with Aaron...
They are all given lives outside of work, and this is absolutely lovely.
I’m absolutely in love with this one cold open where Tim is watching the game, and it is interrupted by a broadcast of a police chase. The best one imo
I like how often Nolan still uses his contractor knowledge, that Lucy uses her psychological education, that Celina and Aaron also have their own respective areas where they are good.Â
I miss Jackson... I adore Bailey
Simone Clark! (Need I say more?)
The rest of the lovely feds from TRF
The sense of humor the writers must have to come up with some of the scenarios. The zombie or vampire themed episodes...
I like how the intro has different colors depending on whether or not the episode is supposed to be on the funnier or darker side
I don’t know anything about the actors or the way things work on set, and I can’t say things are good or not (people keep quitting the show, so...) but I appreciate the craft (not the creators, as I said I know nothing, so I don’t really have any opinions. I’m also not american, si I have no idea how accurate the show is, but that’s not stopping me from thoroughly enjoying it. If I missed anything add it in the reblogs)
