TV show description:
From creator Alexi Hawley, The Rookie TV show is an hourlong comedy-drama that centers on John Nolan (Fillion). After a life-changing experience, this small-town guy decides to do just that — change his life.
Now, John is working toward his dream of being a Los Angeles police officer. The thing is, he is the oldest rookie on the LAPD, and the brass looks at him like the embodiment of a midlife crisis.
John’s co-workers include Talia Bishop (Williamson), a new training officer, and he’s her first student. The other training officers include the high-handed Tim Bradford (Winter) and Angela Lopez (Diaz), who is shooting to become a detective trainee.
Rounding out the cast of characters are rookies Lucy Chen (O’Neil), Jackson West (Makin), Sergeant Wade Grey (Jones), and Nolan’s C.O. Zoe Andersen (Mason).
If John fails to keep up with his young colleagues, as well as young criminals, he will be putting lives at risk, including his own. Maybe though, he can use the experience he’s gained with age, and the determination he has developed over the years, to make a real go of it. Either way, he’s got a secret weapon — his sense of humor.

What do you think? Do you like The Rookie TV series? Should this TV show be cancelled or renewed for another season on ABC?
I was excited when Nathan Fillion was in another series but this is not a good series –he is a rookie but the Captain is letting him take the lead… not buying it and unfortunately not on my schedule to watch anymore–love the characters—
LOVE….LOVE….LOVE THIS SHOW! A TOUCH OF COMEDY, DRAMA, AND NATHAN FILLION
Keep the Rookie!
Keep it!
I really enjoy the Rookie, but have a hard time finding in on TV!!!
Do not cancel The Rookie !!! It is one of the best shows on TV !!!
Nothing good on Tuesday night except The Rookie! Don’t cancel the good show, cancel a couple that come on before The Rookie.
We love the Rookie. Please don’t cancel it.
Please don’t cancel The Rookie! My whole family enjoys the show. We like Nathan Fillion’s portrayal of John Nolan, the doses of reality he puts out there for all to see (like how winded the oldest rookie was after a foot chase), and the humor Fillion brings to his portrayal of Nolan. I also like the fact that the show has strong female characters.
I absolutely love the rookie about the LAPD to me this show could run as long as Adam 12 in the 60s and 70s! This show reminds me of when I became a rookie myself and faced many challenges along the ways and how I had to impress my FTO to become a veteran. I give this show a definite thumbs up.
Please, Please continue this show, it is funny, drama and everything else rolled up into one and me and my sister love this show.
please renew
This show should be renewed.
Please renew The Rookie. I’ll have enjoyed it so much. I enjoy it as the program is not all sex and filthy language.
Keep it! It is a great, decent show, well-written and well-acted. I love it, and I cannot say that for much on regular TV these days.
