The Rookie (2018)
"Get woke, watch rating tank, reconfigure in Season 4'
I got into The Rookie a couple of years late, so I binged Season 1 and Season 2. I liked the show. It's not as good as "Southland", but it was a nice, inoffensive, standard LAPD drama, with the charm of Nathan Fillion carrying the show.
Oh but then Season 3 hit. The show became a preachy, boring, heavy-handed wokefest. The writers treated every white character, ESPECIALLY Officer Nolan, as racists or idiots. It was a nonstop browbeating for the entire season. And the ratings plummeted.
Imagine my surprise when Season 4 started, and there was no more Titus Makin, Jr. In the cast. Imagine my surprise when the entire "Nolan goes to law school night classes and gets browbeaten about white privilege" storyline is just gone. Not a mention of it. No, now Nolan wants to be a TO, and not a detective. The first two episodes have been an action movie rescue plan to get Lopez from La Fiera, and a Tricia Helfer as a hottie master thief in tight outfits plotline.
The fanbase hated Season 3. Now the showrunners are trying desperately to save the show so they can get through Season 5 and get into syndication.
GET WOKE GO BROKE.
