The Rookie (2018)
Entertaining but with unlikeable characters
Not really sure why this show get a rating of 8 here on IMDB.
The show is pretty entertaining but most of the characters are really unlikeable. Arrogant and annoying.
Angela constantly feels the need to show off her position of power by behaving extremely arrogant towards her ''boot''.
Jackson starts off the first episode making sure his superiors know from the beginning his dad fills an important function in the hopes of creating some kind of advantage.
Tim is a downright annoying bully who abuses his position as a police officer and trainer.
In one of the first episodes he degrades and cusses out a bunch of immigrants in front of his ''boot''.
He involves his ''boot'' into personal problems and in a moment of anger he decides to provoke a bunch of bikers so they'll give him a reason to punch a few of then so he can get rid of his anger, once again, in front of his ''boot''. Absolutely toxic, which only makes his arrogance more misplaced.
Such a shame that Rookie Blue (a similar tv show with way more likeable characters) got cancelled, only to get replaced with a show like this.
This show reminds of me How To Get Away With Murder; an ok (but cliche) show but too much annoying characters to fully enjoy it. Shame.
