Heat wave
pauli_gomez26 February 2023
This was a fun episode, I think it is an example of what the Rookie does best, showing the characters as a family. There is a heat wave that causes electrical shortages and that produces several problems, nothing to major. Other cases produced while everyone is secretely trying to find a way to get Tim a better job. Now I am curious about how that story will progress.

I do thing a few of the things that happened were too far-fetched, but this is TV, not real life. I can live with that as long as it is fun. The only thing I did not like was Nolan being so worried about his own evaluation. It felt a little out of character, as Nolan is normally quite selfless.

"Arrest me, make it sexy"

Mostly good plot, with some good character development and screen time for all the major characters. I'm disappointed they went down the fentanyl road, it's too easy and plays into some the ridiculous stories about cops being exposed and overdosing. I appreciate that they did actually differentiate between casual contact and exposure during processing, but I'm afraid that distinction will be lost on too many people. Well done showing the effectiveness of narcan though.

I always enjoy Smitty, and it's nice to see that's he's not a complete idiot. And I agree that the song is catchy. Nolan totally has a daddy cop vibe 😆

"Is that a baton in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

Best cold open of the show. A practicing garage band annoys Nolan with an hilariously catchy hook during a traffic stop, and Juarez can't get the tune out of her head.

This is the kind of light-hearted, down-to-earth silliness that the show does best. It is really nice to see that after 2+ solid seasons of incessant shark jumping, the writers can still find an occasional pitch-perfect scene or two.

More of this, please. Skip the "real crime" mockumentaries, the over-the-top serial killer action hero schlock, and the absurd doppelgänger contrivances. Give me back the mundane beat-cop aphorisms and amiable banter that have always been as hard to ignore as this opening song.
