The Rookie: Double Down (2022)
Season 5, Episode 1
2/10
Underwhelming premiere
27 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I finally finished watching the season premiere. I took a break before the halfway point of this episode because it was pretty ridiculous. Why was there only one officer in the room while Dyer (convicted serial killer) changes clothes? Who is supposed to cover the officer while she removes the handcuffs and shackles? I am over the Chen and Bradford awkward crush. He's her superior anyway. It's especially stupid given that a serial killer has escaped and they have taken their eyes off the ball after their undercover assignment ends. Debrief and get after Dyer. This isn't a soap opera, it is a crime drama. The one interesting part of the premiere was Nolan earning a "Golden Ticket" to pick any job within the LAPD. He picked Training Officer. Not surprised but it was a letdown. There will be plenty of drama with rookies but "Rookie Feds" looks better. However, not everyone has streaming capabilities. The network is airing the show but promoting the streaming option. I will never be OK with taking shows off broadcast TV and making them streaming (subscription) only. It's bad business. I already boycotted "SEAL Team" and DWTS.
