Seriously? A rich family black guy Suing his way into the Police Academy? In the real world that Rookie would Never be allowed to become a Cop in any shape or form. This is so political it's not even funny and a stupid plot. What's wrong with just a regular rookie?
A Capoeira Class to teach but she's a fireman? I don't get that combination at all. Capoeira is a Brazillian African type of dancing.
The Rookie as a cop show has been interesting on a number of levels. Like all cop shows it's steeped in copaganda so hard you really can't divorce it from the very premises it sustains. That said when you look past that there's something there. It's been amusing, disappointing and confusing trying to watch it, as a show, react. I wouldn't dare suggest it's one of the best procedurals or even one of the most popular or most expensive but it's compelling. Even when it does make everything about Detective Nolan. ONe of the biggest questions about a show with a premise that breaks with graduation is where does it go from here.
They've teased it before, they've tried and failed before but they're introducing a new rookie. This rookie like Nolan sticks out. And like Nolan, they're going to treat this rookie like a robot expecting them to get over all their issues "OR ELSE". It's weirdly performative insisting that the LAPD are trained with a soldier's discipline. I'm resisting the urge to go into how different that is from reality and why it matters that these shows insist that police both need compmassion and are super human, again. But i'm very invested in seeing how this rookie will affect the dynamic.
"one spark & this whole place could go up" clicks button on radio sigh
So far still very enjoyable and a step up from last season.
Back to regular business. So much better than last episode.
"First thing I put on"
"Must be nice to be a man"
Does anyone really believe it when we say this? Its the one thing both women and men do: Downplaying effort.
No one just puts anything on for a date if they actually care about it.
Its also meant to be a soft conversation stopper - I mean, who wants to talk about the effort that went into the outfit on a date?
Also: I like the new rookie - I feel for him.
False accusations are bad enough in a limited environment (like a school) - If they are spread internationally, you are basically f***ed...
Non binary person hacker... That's a first in this show :)
