Double Down

CHENFORDDDDDD!! What a greattttt episode for Tim and Lucy. I loved every moment of them undercover. I also loved seeing Thorsen again. Seeing a rich Black boy on television makes my heart way too happy lol.

Rosalind is my favourite serial killer ever written on television (and I've watched a tonnnnn of crime shows) so I was so so happy to see her back!! Annie Wersching plays this role so well.

Best parts of the episode?

• Ummm... obviously every scene with Chen and Bradford. No spoilers buttttt... whew. They have so much chemistry it's not even funny.

• The Bradford-Lopez friendship. It feels like they got so much closer after Angela's wedding and I love the fact that the relationship is developing.

• Tamara is easily one of my favourite non-cop characters.

Worst part of the episode?

• I literally can't find a single thing wrong. Everything was amazing. I watched it once, then again right after, took a shower, then came back and watched it again. It was that good.

I like The Rookie. It's mostly good. Sure, there are a lot of filler episodes, but the light comedy mixed with the action. Can be entertaining.

This episode is mostly he same. Light hiker, some action, and a new theme develops for the season.

The problem here is the main antagonist is boring, over the top and unnecessary. I have a sense of dread thinking the whole season will be in pursuit of this person. Yawn, eye roll. More eye roll.

I like Nyla and her boyfriend. He's a good actor and doesn't over do it. Also, the sergeant is funny and a good character.

Also. The guy who was once famous for having been accused of murder but decided to be a cop is good. Use him more.

Of course Lucy is the star.

I love the Rookie TV show for the most part. But the "Double Down" episode looks ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!!!! I can not understand what the writers and the directors of this episode were trying to show. For example, why was Eric Winter's character "Tim Bradford" doing tied up during an undercover assignment with Lucy Chen?. And although I love Melissa Oneil and her character" Lucy Chen", I do not understand why the script for this particular episode required Mellissa Oneil/Lucy Chen to be evolved in so many fights. And why was she running around the hotel room half naked trying to take out the "bad guys". And another one of my pet peeves is that I think Lucy Chen's fight with the character "Wisco"(KB Holland) was quite excessive. She was hitting him a lot. Was that necessary? And what was with the special effects. Why were the effects trying to display how the fight between Lucy and Wisco going? And why was Lucy hitting Wisco a lot on his side or his ribs? And I think that Lucy Chen looked silly trying to fight a man twice her height and weight. It looked like she was only winning because the actor portraying Wisco was letting her. I hope the producers, directors, and actors do better on future episodes.

This show has been going downhill the past 2 seasons and it hit bottom now. Love the actors and the characters, but the writing sucks, creating totally unbelievable situations and throwing PC at us all the time. Pandering as hard as Hollywood can. This episode broke me from this show, I've seen everything Nathan Fillian is in from the beginning of his career but tjis show has turned to something unwatchable. So unbelievable, creating situations that cannot happen, the writers have stretch credibility too far. John made an unbelievable choice because they created a situation where he had to in order to keep the show and cast together. Sad that this promising show has died this way. Dead to me.

Said no one. What an unrealistic episode, which is now the norm. I wish the show had 1 ounce of believablity, bc it doesn't. How does Bailey end up on scene of every incident? How do they get a lawyer to throw her life away for no reason other than to get her parents killed? She could have just done that. Having a dopple ganger of one person is crazy enough, but of a set of partners? Cmon. Just asking for the slightest bit of realism.
