    This was a good series, but now they just ruined whole vibe. I'll continue watching them, but only because I believe that they will stop telling us about these "important problems". I'll give them score "1" because of Nathan Fillion.

    Season 1 and season 2 are a 9 and an 8 out of 10 for me, but the third season is an insult. The series seems to have completely changed. There are suddenly these annoying political themes everywhere that are constantly delivered with such infantility that you can't believe it's the same show at all.

    The first two seasons were great, but for S3 they decided to make everything racially motivated, epsiode after episode. Well that is except for the random outbreaks of misogyny because going full woke is not enough, but you have to slap it in our faces. Such a waste.

    Still could be something, if they stop pandering to the anti-blue crowd.

    I guess the “rookie” is now going to be the new trainee Nolan is stuck with each season.

    Get off the PC agenda and do a cop show!

    I really did like season 1 and 2 but oh boy did season 3 make me feel some things, none of which good.

    So season 1 you are presented with a relatively reasonable cop drama that takes itself serious enough to get invested but not enough to come over as putting it on too thick or preachy.

Season 2 pretty much more of season 1 with the exception of becoming a tad more ridicules and action heavy, still enjoyable to watch however.

    That brings us to season 3, where they seemingly got rid of everything that made seasons 1 and 2 enjoyable to watch in favor of almost insane levels of preachy social commentary.
    Suddenly every episode is dominated by some PC subject, be it racism, gender equality or police brutality. Every episode going forward just gets progressively worse, going as far as to directly quote things like "Silence is violence" which was a parole used by Antifa during the 2020 and 2021 riots in America. How can a show based around police officers be so utterly disrespectful and insulting? It is at times nausea inducing with how over the top they go, mentioning race at any given point even during a child abduction scene it is asked "Is the child white?". You really feel how much disdain the writers have, blaming white people and the police for every wrong in the world. I can only hope that the people in charge of writing the script will never ever get the chance to write something again, they are better off just running some preachy podcast on YouTube then writing scripts for series or movies.    … Expand
