        The Rookie é ótima, meio exagerado com relação as ocorrências, é tiroteio todo santo dia, mas acredito que é pra animar a série...
      • May 04, 2023
        Such a wonderful series!! Nolan character is kinda unreal and annoying, but I don't think the movie would make much sense without him.
      • Apr 07, 2023
        The Rookie has been one of the best tv shows I've seen in a very long time! Highly recommend!
      • Apr 06, 2023
        Takes a little bit to get used to it , but after that its a nice show. I think the cast for Almost all of the roles is spot on , and the 1 rotten apple luckily for us all takes care of itself later on. Fun stories with little bit of actual proper crime solving . It quickly became one of the better shows in the genre for me . Can wholeheartedly recommend it , but stay away from the spin off ...
      • Mar 29, 2023
        Série de policial no sentido de não só dramatizar os crimes de ruas, mas de dar um pouco de comédia nas relações interpessoais dos personagens. Acho muito fraco a atuação dos personagens como policias de verdade, mas é uma série mais tipo novelinha. Boa de ser vista todos os dias. Os atores são envolvidos com os telespectadores.
      • Mar 28, 2023
        Although this show is not super realistic when it comes to real police I love it! Plenty of action and drama!
      • Feb 12, 2023
        Best show I've watch in 10 years!!! Clean language, interesting stories and a great cast. Love them all.
      • Dec 22, 2022
        fantastic, great ensemble cast, no bad episodes
      • Dec 19, 2022
        This show hooked me so quickly I love it.
      • Nov 29, 2022
        Seaon 1 which I watched when it first came out was fresh and fun. But after that it went off the rails in season two becomg unbealivable. Some really good suporting cast could not save the writing and plot. To bad as a good police drama is hard to find. Give it a big pass.
