Trouble in Paradise

Well where do you begin??

If you're a fan of the Rookie I'm sure you've cringed over the "mockumentry" style episode But this is episode Trouble in Paradise is a whole new low for the franchise!

From a great start over the first two maybe three seasons the slow decline and the awful story lines have lead to this hot mess of an episode Terrible writing coupled with some of the worst guest actors not to mention trying to palm off the Californian cost as a tropical island If the show runners are looking to kill the title after its thousandth episode they've started well!

I seriously think it's time the Rookie was put out to pasture With the current crop of actors there's not much hope of an upturn for this once fun program.

When I started to watch "the rookie" I looked forward to each new episode. They had cast issues which were glossed over but not forgotten. Now it seems that the show has degrated to being a silly soap opera. The latest episode is a perfect example. Instead of being a hard hitting drama about life on the streets in LA it has become a celebration of the characters as mushy as they have become. I don't know if they have changed writers or whatever but they need to make some changes if the show is going to survive. I give the show a three star only because I remember how good it was when it started. I hope someone with influence realizes how bad the show has become and makes the necessary adjustments.

This is the last episode for us. We've stuck through it as the storylines got more and more ridiculous in the hope it would return to the good old days, but it hasn't, so farewell Officer Nolan and friends.

This is the episode that broke the camel's back. What a ridiculous story. There's no realism in any part of it.

That's all I have to say but IMDb wants more characters and I'm struggling.

Well, I don't really know what's happening, but it seems that the initial witers from the show have gone and now The Rookie is written by a 5-year old child. The argument is so easy, so poor, so empty, and so banal, that there is not another possibility. No experimented show writer presents anything like this. And the cameras, my god !!! Besides the critics of the fans of the show, they still do the same stupidity. Don't they understand that it's stupid and nonsense filming that way? Don't they understand that the fans hate it? Maybe when the fans give up to watch the crap they are making they will understand.

These novelty episodes with terrible camera work need to stop.

At least once an episode I seem to say "this is so stupid" and this episode had me saying it several times. Virtually nothing happened except a hammy honeymoon plot... who takes so many cameras away with them anyway?

I genuinely wish they would kill Bailey off; she is so unrealistic, over hyped (while being totally puny and tiny - genuinely don't think she would pass as a firefighter EMT physically) and Jenna Dewan's portrayal is wooden and there's literally no chemistry with Nathan Fillion at all. John Nolan also has to be the most cursed character on TV... his career has been one disaster after the next! Even John McClane wasn't this unlucky!

I would definitely be down for an Angela/Nyla spin off though. They are awesome.
