The Rookie" is a well-written, well-acted drama series with delightful, spots of humor mixed in - a perfect Nathan Fillion situation. He is wonderful as the lead, as he always is, and puts his own charm, and flare into the part. The premise of the show is engaging; experiencing the fear and anxiety of "staring over" at - what most seem to believe is - the mid-life; new career, no relationship prospects, new place to live - challenging, but - as John Nolan proves - not impossible. This show balances the modern problems the police, as a whole, face across this nation, and one should come out of it with fire.
