The Rookie

Anyone else, feel that this show, had lost all touch with reality, latest episode, LA uniformed Cops, turn into special forces operators, with one bringing along his Wife, who is a Paramedic, to assault a ship.

I am afraid, thats me done with it, used to be very good, but now, just ridiculous.

Perhaps next time use the 'Spoiler' button. Some of us here are a few weeks behind 🙄

Whilst it is far fetched it would be very boring if they just drove around in their 'shop' all shift and just went to domestic disputes, burglaries and shopliftings.

Our household will carry on watching it.

I've enjoyed it from the beginning and still enjoy it in all its plotwise as it has grown from its rookie basic roots through to the way the series and characters play out now.

Think the carry over of the many characters in their progress has made it so strong and addictive for me.

Great viewing every week for us all round.
We all have many differing viewing habits.

It's a US drama it's not going to be realistic because that isn't going to entertain most of the viewers. The closet you will get to realism is those reality shows where they follow various US police departments.
