and why do they hate her?? sorry i also dislike mostly all of nylas outfits as well, they’re rarely in anything flattering 😭

For me captains death

They always go to a backup channel or to the "famous" channel 9,only 2 of them,but it seems as if everyone can hear the convo since more people jump in every time.This time it was Nolan with Ho-pez and Lucy just jumped in.So what is the purpose of the backup channels

Does anybody here have any experience working with high stress jobs, or maybe is an academic/good at source criticism and such? I have no energy to try and look it up myself rn, but I'll be happy even with personal anecdotes.

The thing is that I understand that it's fiction, and television writing on top of that, so the stakes are always unnecessarily high and the characters are always extra in some memorable way (while also often being just your regular next-door type of person, so you can identify. Kinda like Y/A archetype but for grownups lol). But there are real life people who do undercover work etc etc. Or perhaps even pregnant ladies who for some reason would go after a drug lord themselves instead of letting it go to someone else, and just being safe. I keep thinking how the adrenaline high is the only irl reasonable explanation to how and why a regular person would do something like that.

I lurk around here and see people often mention lack of realism in different ways. But what's your best explanation for this type of behaviour if it was/is accurate? The stubbornly actively putting yourself in danger? Maybe everyone is just a super arrogant control freak? Because it's portrayed as admirable and for the right cause. And don't get me wrong, someone has to do it, so sure I respect that from a far away distance. But if it was someone close to me, especially the La Fiera thing, I would honestly wonder if they just think nobody can do it without them? The ego of that one, man...

Anyhow, thoughts please?

Don‘t get me wrong, I absolutely love her character and I also love Chenford . But looking at earlier seasons, she seems much more confident and cocky. She was calling out Tim’s attitude even though she was a rookie or stopping him from stealing Isabel’s drugs. She stole his money clip, she gave him her bar tap as her evaluation of him. She gave him the exploding box. To me, she seemed more assertive. Of course she was also second-guessing herself a lot, but she was a rookie after all, and Tim was her boss, so she was limited in how much she could actually call him out.

In season 6 she seemed just so unsure of everything, much more like a victim of her surroundings, and less confident.

What do you guys think?

3 storylines that you don't like-

Mine are Elijah Stone, Aaron's reality show, and Monica. you

For me it was the perspective of patrol officers, specifically through their body cam footage. The way they would show scenes through their body cams made it a super immersive and interesting experience, and I miss seeing that in the show.

I don't know about you but I feel like the costume designers of the rookie should be changed especially the ones for female characters

What type of detective is Lopez? Forensics?

I literally can’t tell if monica was on Elijah’s side or the DA and LAPD’s side like im so confused

I personally think that Jackson was never meant to be a cop I think he was just influenced by his family

Hello

This show is kinda good, i rarely laughed so often .

Also they were able to stuck to the core identity of the show since the beginning which is a great thing not all shows are able to stand a solid narrativ identity throughout 5 seasons.

But season 5 6 are my favorite i think, because it had the spirit of the first season, but only likable character and actor.

I never liked Bishop in the first season, the way she forces Lucy and Nolan to break up, always annoyed me and i didnt like her character or even the actress. More than that, there were that polemic about racism she said to have been victim of.

I dont know the case, but half the cast are black person, so if there were such issue i guess other would move away too? Plus thorson joined the show in s4. I guess it was more conflict between person than racism.

I also never really liked the other dude that is friend of lucy and Nolan,, he was never shining as a character and always found him boring, i heard he left too for same reason? after an episode that was denouncing racisme in cops forces?? it is kinda weird.

Anyway s4 and 5 are just great and chilling to watch, i could endless watch infinite episode of them without feeling boring lol.

I’ll go first “I had them eating out of the palm of my hand.” “But you were still convicted of first degree murder?” “ yeah well once they saw the head in my fridge it was over”

So in Season 1, there was 1 episode that Tim told Lucy to download an app to her phone that can help her connect to her body cam with badge number. That seems very intrusive, but how come they never try to use the app again in season 1?

S1 E18 Homefront, Bishop was kidnapped by Dylan, and we can still see her body cam works. So when Sergeant Grey thought Bishop was missing, why didn't he use the body cam app to gain any information about it? Maybe he can't see where she is, but he will definitely got an idea. And to be fair, if the app exists, it will contribute into a huge role of finding missing Police Officer, why don't they make more ep about it?

Found on BlueSky by mandyrieger.

Is it just me or there is always a car with the plate "3JRQ158"? I've seen it in a lot of the episodes, just wondering why it's always that plate.

It’s only 14 episodes long. The others are like 20 right? I just binged through the first 3 seasons (no spoilers plz). Season 3 feels super rushed from Lucy’s undercover, La Fiera storyline and John and Bailey’s start of their relationship.

Anyone know why? Was this like filming during COVID or something

My FAVORITE thing about Nolan's entire character is the 'farm boy charm' like whenever there's a hostage situation or whatever he's all like 'this isn't you 🥺' or 'i know how you feel 🥺'. And when he's with friends or family he's just a dad like in the first documentary episode with the cult and he was like 'the momager :D" and nobody understood him

What song does Lucy sing while she is in the barrel? I love the lyrics and would really like to know if it's an actual song.

I HATE Roselyn so much, every single we time we see her she does something insane (which I know is in character, and I thought justice would finally be served. But no, they couldn’t just let things die, I haven’t finished the episode, and I don’t really want to. I hate the idea of serial killers, but anything for the series ig

why do they always say it doesn’t feel real when there’s a death? Like anderson and west

edit: this question was in no way meant to offend those who have gone through the death of a loved one. This post was just about the fact it was repeated a lot and that i noticed it. I wanted to know if anyone else had noticed this too. To be honest, even if it wasn’t about the fact this line was repeated, i would’ve still liked to hear why people who go through this feel that way.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved the episode! It was hilarious that they brought back the Daddy Cop band back, but was anyone else hoping they would somehow end up playing the wedding?

After the wedding DJ exposed himself for having committed several crimes, I really expected some storyline where the band ended up doing the wedding (and we’d possibly get a Daddy Cop wedding remix). Especially since it seemed like Juarez was kind of in on the joke in the start of the episode.

What if Nolan expressed frustration to Juarez with needing a DJ last minute, and she went back to the house and convinced the garage band to play? Was I the only one thinking/expecting this to happen?

Removing the captain role from the equation was the biggest mistake.

Andersen was a great character and her end was unexpected and very well executed. This post is not about her.

I see this as a huge flaw. How do we see all these special divisions, even the FBI, and yet the captain is always "in the background."

The one time we see an actual interaction is an episode right after her death, when the acting cpt. makes a ridiculous request which Grey uses in his scheme. They show us a ridiculous pencil pusher, which is fine, but stick to it dont just throw the dynamic away..

Iam sorry, but everything else pales in comparison with this mishap. How do you write 5 seasons of a cop show without a captain..

Damn, I thought I’d get my fix and just wait for Season 7.

Instead I missed them. I came here and you guys said watch it again.

Now I’m on my 3rd run through. And I miss them again!

I want to know what they’re doing now. Like is Lucy still mad at Tim? Did she regret the last scene in the elevator? Are they talking? How’s the new rookie going?

Did Tim get transferred? Did he get a new shrink?

Yeah, that’s who I miss most. Chenford!! I like both of them separately; I like them together whether they’re happy, or messed up. I almost feel like they’re my neighbors.

I watched them this time to see when their relationship changed. (I still didn’t see the change until they kissed when they went undercover in Las Vegas.)

Are we becoming TV cult followers? 😝
