What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, The Rookie TV show stars Nathan Fillion, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin Jr., Melissa O’Neil, and Eric Winter. The series follows the experiences of John Nolan (Fillion), a middle-aged divorced man from Pennsylvania. He owns a construction company but decides to give up his old life to pursue a new career as a police officer in the Los Angeles Police Department. He graduates from the Police Academy and becomes the oldest rookie on the force. He works with Sergeant Wade Grey (Jones), training officers Angela Lopez (Diaz) and Tim Bradford (Winter), and fellow rookies Jackson West (Makin Jr.) and Lucy Chen (O’Neil). As season two begins, John is six months into his career as a cop and is put to the test by new challenges, romantic relationships, and potentially deadly situations.

I’m not even going to lie, I watched the first season last season but haven’t watched live tv in while until I saw the promo for the winter season premiere. I forgot how great this show was so I binged all of season 2 in 2 days to catch up to watch the series live again. I look forward to Sunday nights because of The Rookie! Hope we get a full order of season 3.

Please renew. One of my favorite shows!!!
When will the networks get a clue? Do not cancel this show it is even better in season 2! I know firsthand several friends that didn’t watch last year that are watching this year. The rating system is s forgery and is never accurate. Why? Because only the cable companies are able to provide real data on actual viewership in the markets and yet they aren’t allowed to disperse that data. Why? Because Nielsen ratings is a monopoly and they make millions upon millions of dollars. As a marketing person, I can ask a cable company to give me any… Read more »
The Rookie is a great show for those of us above your reported demographics (my wife and I are 68 & 66 respectively and watch over the air tv exclusively). The Rookie encourages challenging stereotypes and self-imposed limitations. My guess is we are more representative of our age group than dissimilar, and our age group probably watches free tv more than any other age group. When I worked and had cable I watched sports, history, discovery, science, travel and Syfy WAY more than the traditional 3 (or 4 or 5) networks. Due to the reality of retirement (more time, less… Read more »
They should ABSOLUTELY RENEW!!! It’s a great show and the whole cast is amazing. My husband and I watch every week.
This show is a must to watch every week – we never miss any of these shows as it is one of the best on TV.
I enjoy the show very much. It is a mix of seriousness and shows the human side of being a police officer. I hope they don’t cancel the show, I think it would be a mistake. I watch it on Hulu since cable is so damn expensive. Does the viewership get counted on that platform? Keep the show.
I love The Rookie – just finished watching the latest episode.
This is a great vehicle for Nathon Fillion and the rest of the cast.
I hope they have many more seasons – I hate it when good TV shows get cancelled before their time.
The Rookie should be renewed. Bluntly, it is the only ABC show I watch.
We watched the first couple of episodes because it looked like a fun and more lighthearted program. It has become our favorite program to watch! Please KEEP IT GOING!
