In short: they decided to get as woke as possible in season three, killed what was a cute show.
Like many others I started watching this for Nathan Fillion, he always plays likable characters and the first couple seasons of this were just that.
Now, though, they have (and nobody should be surprised) made this into a platform for political correctness and virtue signaling.
The first two seasons were actually pretty fun to watch, come season 3 and every episode has huge political statements to make, even making a professor who believes cops are bad and corrupt and racist a main cast member. Black inequality righted? Check. Gay inequality righted? Check. Cops are bad and racist? Check. Cops should be defunded? Check. Who needs a good story when we can just do that instead?
Season 3 has been all about being PC about everything, being a social justice warrior about everything and, overall isn't the interesting story line we got in the first two seasons about a middle aged man who becomes a cop and the challenges he has to overcome.
So what happens in season 4 when "The Rookie" is no longer a rookie? Will there be a new batch of Rookies that our main character gets to impart his wisdom upon? Probably, and we'll get more political correctness and virtue signaling shoved down our throats since it will be made in 2021.
