    A more balanced approach ...

    ... on police work and civil right issues, even if the plot itself falls a little short in this episode. But it's good to see the series finally seems to find a way to show more points of view instead of blatantly trying to idealize the characters away from real world issues every cop as to deal with - especially if he or her *wants* to do right.

    The conclusion of this episode is still sugarcoated, but the message is right: Don't treat each other as enemies, but as someone you have to work things out with. Meet halfway first, go the rest together.

    OMG zoned out progressives are hideous...

    Who doesn't like Nathan Fillion? Right? The showrunners have ample opportunities to put together great stories with a good cast. The constant pounding of self righteous left wing gibberish about the intersectional stack of pain and victimhood is unwatchable. The use of the "ethics" professor to espouse radical woke views as if these are the ethical position is an affront to rational people everywhere. Stop it children.

    Interesting way of filming

    I liked all the camera angles for something different. Made it seem more real.

    Episode we been waiting for

    One of the best episodes of all three seasons. The woman with the baby scene was intense and very realistic. Loved the story arch of the rookies graduating and felt for Nolan at the end. But his TO was there for him when he needed it and was a great feel good moment.

    The Last Shift

    In the last shift of West and Chen, they go to patrol with their T. O.s Lopez and Bradford respectively. Lopez Angela has many concerns with her pregnancy and decides to stay with West in his last rookie day while Chen wants to hear from Bradford that he will miss her. Nolan, who still have thirty days to conclude his training, goes with Harper and his Professor Fiona Ryan that is writing a book about the LAPD. Out of the blue, they receive an Amber Alert and need to look for the missing baby that will affect the racist professor.

    "Amber" is another reasonable episode of "The Rookie". West and Lopez show a perfect chemistry, but Chen looks loke a silly person in her last shift. The racist Professor Ryan is the annoying part of the show with her stupid comments. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "Alerta de Sequestro" ("Kidnapping Alert")

      Virtually the entire episode is shot with non-traditional media: bodycams, vehicle cameras, an iPad, security cameras. TV cameras, etc.
    • Goofs
      During several on-location shots while driving in the downtown LA area, as seen from the vehicle dash cams, escort motorcycles with flashing amber lights can be seen trailing the patrol cars, and in one scene actually blocking a side street while the film crew passes through.
