The Odds & Ends

I made my mum watch The Rookie, and her take away from the first two episodes was, ‘Nolan and Lucy have no chemistry,’ and that the ‘grumpy guy’ aka Tim would be a better choice.

This is probably just my inner clown showing, but I don’t think last night’s episode was particularly Chenford-y? It featured a lot from Lucy and Tim which I LOVE, but all the development was towards their personal, individual growth. Which is fine! But when you say (as Twitter user checktheirfridg did) “I think Chenford fans will be 7.5 happy” and then there’s not really anything overt onscreen to support that ranking (everything else is left to interpretation or inference and fanworks that fill in the blanks)... well, I felt just a tiny bit underwhelmed on that front. For example, I would’ve loved to hear what, if any, conversations happened while Lucy was “under arrest” but that’s not a thread they pursued.
