Review of The Con

The Rookie: The Con (2023)
Season 5, Episode 15
8/10
Oh... please do some research on your PA towns...
15 February 2023
Sorry, but my inner Pittsburgher got riled near the end of this episode... a large portion of it is set in Nolan's hometown, the borough of Foxburg, which is in Clarion County, just north of Pittsburgh. PITTSBURGH. Home of the Pirates? Remember them? NO person in Western PA roots for the Phillies (if they don't want to be shunned). Why would anyone from Western PA dive the six hours to Philly (which I also love, I may add) to watch a game there? Instead of Mike Schmidt, the writers could have written Willie Stargell. Oh, I am wounded to the heart...

Apart from that major insul---um---glitch, this was one of the best episodes this season. Bringing in members of "The Rookie: Feds" was a great way to handle the situation to "kill two birds with one stone" regarding some major baddies of this series. I look forward to seeing how this story line eventually concludes.

The added comic relief of seeing (the very tall) Nathan Fillion getting out of a Smart Car is, on its own, worth watching this episode.
